All your code for these lessons goes in the `myApp.js` file between the lines of code we have started you off with. Do not change or delete the code we have added for you.
Install Helmet version `3.21.3` , then require it.

`helmet` version `3.21.3` should be in `package.json`
2018-10-10 18:03:03 -04:00
```js
2020-12-16 00:37:30 -07:00
(getUserInput) =>
$.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/package.json').then(
(data) => {
var packJson = JSON.parse(data);
assert(packJson.dependencies.helmet === '3.21.3');
},
(xhr) => {
throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
}
);
