So, this is a server-side javascript environment. jQuery is more suited to
a client-side environment (in a browser, not on a server). I think you're
trying to use jQuery to make a request to a /metadata endpoint on a server
to get some JSON. I'd suggest you use the 'request' package instead.
First, install the package:
npm install request --save
Then, you can use it in your misc.js file:
const request = require('request');
Finally, you can replace your $.ajax call with request like this:
request(Misc.server+'/metadata', function(err, response, body){
if(err) {
console.log(err);
return;
}
console.log(body);
}
HTH,
