Console error

I saw the same question posted a couple times but I still don't get it. The 'action' variable isn't a part of the object so I don't understand how it works in the instructor code video. I made sure my code matches and I can't find any errors. Here's github: https://github.com/amanij7/rsvp-app/blob/master/app.js

The "action" holds the name of the method that will be called. In the video, the method names match the button labels, but here the methods have lower-case names and the labels use title case so they don't match.

The actual names are not important but they must be exactly the same in the class and on the button.
