Express Undefined Variable Inside app.get(...)

THIS IS IN EXPRESS
I defined the variable
const username = "a"
const password = "a"
and then i redefined it with {username, password} = req.body (i had a form--this was /createaccount)
then, an error popped up which was unexpected token '=' is this because username is not defined in app.get(/createaccount...)???

Try below:

let username = "a";
let password = "b";

({username , password } = req.body);

Since you have declared username and password and used destructuring in the next line you need to wrap the destructuring inside ();

Quoting from https://developer.mozilla.org/:

The parentheses ( ... ) around the assignment statement are required when using object literal destructuring assignment without a declaration.
