为什么 process.env.PORT ⎮⎮ 8001 不起作用？

Question

I am coding the backend of a website with MERN .

This is my code in server.js :

import express from "express"
import mongoose from "mongoose"

//App config
const app = express();
const port = process.env.PORT ⎮⎮ 8001

I get a big fat Error after typing npm start :

file:///Users/.../.../.../.../server.js:6
const port = process.env.PORT ⎮⎮ 8001               

SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token

If anyone knows how to solve this problem, thank you soooo much.

Thanks in advance,

Emiel

It seems like a copy-paste error. What you have is “⎮” U+23AE Integral Extension Unicode Character :

⎮

What is needed is this:

|

Here's the URL Encoded form:

encodeURI("⎮")
"%E2%8E%AE"
encodeURI("|")
"%7C"

Try replacing it with the following:

const port = process.env.PORT || 8001
