Create a server-side Apex controller class (Project - Quick Start: Lightning Components)

@AuraEnabled
public static List<Contact> getContacts() {
    return [Select Id, Name, Email, Title, Phone From Contact];
}
I'm receiving the following error: unexpected token: 'List'

Hi

You can try below code but not sure exact reason. 
@AuraEnabled
public static List<Contact> getContacts() { 
	List<Contact> conList = [Select Id, Name, Email, Title, Phone From Contact];
    return conList;
}

Regards,
Mahesh

What am I doing wrong here? I followed Mahesh's advice for M Parnell but to no avail.

I've tried both methods and keep getting the error:
Challenge Not yet complete... here's what's wrong: 
The client side JavaScript controller is not putting a server side action into the queue using $A.enqueueAction

Any ideas?

I was able to find the solution on another thread:

"you need to place that code inside the class"

After copying and pasting the code, the format looked different. Does this matter to get the code to work?

@Charlene Shih - no, the formatting doesn't matter. 
I do have a habit of formatting everything after I copy & paste from Trailhead, though.  Just in case I need to go back to it later.
