Creating a model in nodejs return unexpected token

Question

I'm trying to create a simple model in nodejs but got the following error

var model = {
                 ^

SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token
    at createScript (vm.js:80:10)

Model

function getAllSales(limit) {
    const sales = [];
    var model = {
        "id": "1",
        "products": [{
            "id": "1",
            "value": "10"
        },  {
            "id": "2",
            "value": "20"
        }],
        "total":  "30.00",
        "date": "2017-10-02"
    };
    sales.push(model);

    return sales.slice(0, limit);
}

Looks like you have some strange white space / non-printable character there? — Felix Kling, Nov 01 '17 at 21:38

Your code is full of [`U+200B`](http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/200B/index.htm) characters. Try to paste it in chrome console. — Jake, Nov 01 '17 at 21:38
Erase the line and rewrite it manually, like the others say it is probably a random non-visible character messing with it — Patrick Evans, Nov 01 '17 at 21:39

There's a ton of invisible characters there causing issues. Delete that var line, redo it, and you should be fine.

The specific character is 8203, a zero-width space, which is not valid JavaScript.
