• Your syntax is incorrect. You cannot define an object in the arguments of a function. Exactly what are you expecting this code to do? – Rory McCrossan Commented May 31, 2019 at 16:13
• Also note that you have an extra ) in there, but I assume this is a typo when writing the question – Rory McCrossan Commented May 31, 2019 at 16:14

• Thanks, for the reply I solved the issue, the issue came because of javascript version. – Anuj Burnwal Commented Jun 3, 2019 at 7:55

This is invalid syntax - take a look at the function declaration on line 1 vs line 2. I don't know what you're trying to acplish, but you must have a function body. You have this: .on("slides", function({...}); which has an unclosed parenthesis and no function body. .on("slides", function(parameters) {/*do stuff here*/}); is the syntax you need; I'm not really sure where the object is intended to go.
