invalid JSON in message - node.js

Question

this is my code ----
var nsq = require('nsqjs');
var r = require('rethinkdb');
var nsqvar = (process.env.NSQD_RETH || "localhost:4161").split(",");
var p = r.connect({host:'localhost', port:8080, db:'test', authKey:''});{
p.then(function(conn) {
console.log("Succesfull connection")
}).error(function(error) {
console.log("Error at connection")
})
// Event Reader functionality inside connect callback
var eventreader;
eventreader = new nsq.Reader('hello_topic', 'hello_channel', {
lookupdHTTPAddresses: nsqvar
});
eventreader.connect();
eventreader.on('message', function (msg) {
// Now we have access to the connection
r.table('sprinkle_nsq_test').insert(msg.json()).run(conn);
console.log('Received message [%s]: %s', msg.id, msg.body.toString());
msg.finish();
console.log(msg);
});
}
And from the terminal I am trying to insert
curl -d '{"id": "712", "name": "Douglas Adams""type "casdasdasomedy"}' 'http://127.0.0.1:4151/put?topic= hello_topic'
At nsq at receives the message but at nodejs program at says throw new Error("Invalid JSON in Message");
^
Error: Invalid JSON in Message
and also at same time the message is not storing at rethinkdb.

Answer 1

Looks like the error message is correct - your JSON is invalid.
Try copying and pasting it through an online JSON validator / viewer and it will be invalid.
I've cleaned it up below. Hope it all works now.
{"id": "712", "name": "Douglas Adams", "type": "casdasdasomedy"}

You have some mistakes in your code (in regards to RethinkDB at least). Here is a fixed solution with comments (this may or may not fix your problem):
var nsq = require('nsqjs');
var r = require('rethinkdb');
var nsqvar = (process.env.NSQD_RETH || "localhost:4161").split(",");
// Connect to the client driver port 28015
var p = r.connect({ host:'localhost', port:28015, db:'test' });
p.then(function(conn) {
// Wait until the database is connected
console.log("Succesfull connection");
// Event Reader functionality inside connect callback
var eventreader;
eventreader = new nsq.Reader('hello_topic', 'hello_channel', {
lookupdHTTPAddresses: nsqvar
});
eventreader.connect();
eventreader.on('message', function (msg) {
// Make sure msg.json() is actually valid json
if (typeof msg === 'object' && msg !== null) {
throw new TypeError('`msg` is already and object. It doesnt need to be convert to json');
}
var json = msg.json();
if (typeof json !== 'object' && msg !== null) {
throw new TypeError('`msg.json()` is not an object and cant be inserted into the database.');
}
// Now we have access to the connection
r.table('sprinkle_nsq_test').insert(msg.json()).run(conn)
.then(function () {
// Wait until RethinkDB is done inserted the message to call `.finish`
console.log('Received message [%s]: %s', msg.id, msg.body.toString());
msg.finish();
console.log(msg);
});
});
}).error(function(error) {
console.log("Error at connection to the database");
});
