SharePoint 2016 webAbsoluteUrl error

Question

When trying to implement the following code in SharePoint 2016, I get the following error:

Unable to get property 'webAbsoluteUrl' of undefined or null reference.

The developer tool points to this line var absoluteURL = _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl;


        function getData(lName){
        var absoluteURL = _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl;
        if(lName == "Navigation"){
        console.log(_spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl);
            var endPointUrl = absoluteURL + "/_api/web/lists/getbyTitle('"+lName+"')/items";
        }else{
        console.log(_spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl);
            var endPointUrl = absoluteURL + "/_api/web/lists/getbyTitle('"+lName+"')/items?$select=parentNav/URL, parentNav/URLNAME,subLink&$expand=parentNav";
            //console.log(endPointUrl);
        }

Are you using any kind of framework, or is that just bare, vanilla javascript? — Dylan Cristy, Dec 07 '19 at 20:54

Apologies for the late response. I did see your other answer. I tried them and got errors about undefined. Please see pen of my code https://codepen.io/isogunro/pen/mdyPZdy?editors=0010 — OLA, Dec 11 '19 at 18:15

Try to call _spPageContextInfo in ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded like this:

 ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(Ready, "sp.js");
    function Ready()
    {
       var lNmae="Navigation";
       getData(lName);

    }
    function getData(lName){
        var absoluteURL = _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl;
        if(lName == "Navigation"){
        console.log(_spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl);
            var endPointUrl = absoluteURL + "/_api/web/lists/getbyTitle('"+lName+"')/items";
        }else{
        console.log(_spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl);
            var endPointUrl = absoluteURL + "/_api/web/lists/getbyTitle('"+lName+"')/items?$select=parentNav/URL, parentNav/URLNAME,subLink&$expand=parentNav";
            //console.log(endPointUrl);
        }
    }

Apologies for the late response. Please see my full code which uses jquery document.ready(). https://codepen.io/isogunro/pen/mdyPZdy?editors=0010 Not sure how to implement it here. — OLA, Dec 11 '19 at 18:12
