Uncaught TypeError: web3.eth.Contract is not a constructor

Question

For whatever reason, when I attempt to set an instance of a contract in a javascript file, I get the following message in my console:

Uncaught TypeError: web3.eth.Contract is not a constructor 

At first, I suspected I had a problem with properly setting my Web3 instance, but when I run:

console.log(web3);

The console shows that I the web3 instance is set.

I try and set my the contract instance using the following code:

const myContract = new web3.eth.Contract([//json array]);

Any tips for solving this?

Answer 1

This is for v1.x, you're probably still on v0.x.

You can check it via npm ls web3.

For v0.x, remove the new and change Contract to contract.
