    copied!<p>I am trying to implement an autocompleter on a nodejs app using nowjs. </p> <pre><code>everyone.now.sendAutocomplete = function(search) { var response = getAutocomplete(search); console.log("response"); console.log(response); }; </code></pre> <p>which calls:</p> <pre><code>function getAutocomplete(search) { console.log(search); var artist = new Array(); request({uri: 'http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/artist/?query=' + search + '&amp;limit=4', headers: "Musicbrainz Application Version 1"}, function(error, response, body) { par.parseString(body, function(err, result) { var count = result['artist-list']['@']['count']; var artists = result['artist-list']['artist']; // var artist = new Array(); if (count &gt; 1) { artists.forEach(function(a) { var att = a['@']; var id = att['id']; var name = a['name']; var dis = a['disambiguation']; if (dis) { var display = name + " (" + dis + " )"; } else { display = name; } artist.push({'id':id, 'name': name, 'disambiguation':dis, 'label':display, 'value':name, 'category':"Artists"}); }); //everyone.now.receiveResponse(artist); console.log("artist"); console.log(artist); return artist; } else { console.log(artists); var att = artists['@']; var id = att['id']; var name = artists['name']; var dis = artists['disambiguation']; var resp = [{'id':id, 'name': name, 'disambiguation':dis, 'label':name, 'value':name, 'category':"Artists"}]; return resp; // everyone.now.receiveResponse([{'id':id, 'name': name, 'disambiguation':dis, // 'label':name, 'value':name, 'category':"Artists"}]); } }); }); } </code></pre> <p>However, console.log(response) says that response is undefined. I am new to node so the answer is probably simple, but still can't figure it out. </p>
