Javascript "is not a function" error

Question

I'm trying to run a simple cheerio scraping script here:

      var $ = cheerio.load(body);
      var scoresTable = $('.grey').html();
      var scoresTableTbody = scoresTable('tbody');
      console.log(scoresTableTbody);

But the return is:

scoresTable is not a function

I also tried changing var scoresTable = $('.grey').html(); into var scoresTable = $('.grey');, but same error.

Appreciate any help :)

Answer 1

scoresTable is an string, not a function.

Assuming grey is a class assigned to a table try, to get the object reference to that element then use .find() get the tbody like

var $ = cheerio.load(body);
var scoresTable = $('.grey');
var scoresTableTbody = scoresTable.find('tbody');
console.log(scoresTableTbody);
