The example(file_server.ts) uses does not run properly and error: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected reserved word const file = await Deno.open("." + filepath, { read: true }); is logged in terminal
Copy and paste the example code from file_server.ts
{ hostname: "localhost", port: 8080 },
(request) => {
// Use the request pathname as filepath
const url = new URL(request.url);
const filepath = decodeURIComponent(url.pathname);
// Try opening the file
try {
const file = await Deno.open("." + filepath, { read: true });
// Stream the file as it's read to the response. That way we don't
// need to load the full file into memory.
return new Response(file.readable);
} catch {
// If the file cannot be opened, return a "404 Not Found" response
return new Response("404 Not Found", { status: 404 });
}
},
);
Use deno run --allow-read=. --allow-net file_server.ts in terminal
Expected behavior
It should run and I should be able to open a browser on localhost
Environment
-Deno Version: 1.44.1
-OS:
Edition: Windows 11 Home

Installed on: 2023-03-31

Possible solution
replace code with
Deno.serve(
{ hostname: "localhost", port: 8080 },
async (request) => {
// Use the request pathname as filepath
const url = new URL(request.url);
const filepath = decodeURIComponent(url.pathname);
// Try opening the file
try {
const file = await Deno.open("." + filepath, { read: true });
// Stream the file as it's read to the response. That way we don't
// need to load the full file into memory.
return new Response(file.readable);
} catch {
// If the file cannot be opened, return a "404 Not Found" response
return new Response("404 Not Found", { status: 404 });
}
},
);
