Jquery error with script

Question

This is a script I have on my page and for some reason I get this error in the console. Here is the error. "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ) "

!function ($) {
    //=================================== scroll  ===================================//

$body.scrollspy({
      target: '#navbar-main',
      offset: navHeight
    });

    $window.on('load', function () {
      $body.scrollspy('refresh');
    });

    $('#navbar-main [href=#]').click(function (e) {
      e.preventDefault();
    });


});

you have an extra ) at the end

!function ($) {

});

is a strange pattern to use, and it's not valid, it should be

jQuery(function($) {

});

If you're trying to create a DOM ready handler.
If you just need an IIFE you could do

!function($){ 

}(jQuery);

which looks like what you're trying to use here ?

Don't write this:

!function ($) {

});

Use this :

$(function() {

});

or this

$(document).ready(function() {

});

If you want to hide all code in anonymous function , the syntax is as following:

(function($) {
    $body.scrollspy({
      target: '#navbar-main',
      offset: navHeight
    });

    $window.on('load', function () {
      $body.scrollspy('refresh');
    });

    $('#navbar-main [href=#]').click(function (e) {
      e.preventDefault();
    });


 })(jQuery);
