I have a connector.js file which using which I want to export dbResult
object.
(function(){
var Massive = require("massive");
var connectionString = "postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost/postgres";
var db = Massive.connectSync({connectionString : connectionString});
var dbResult ;
db.query("Select * from company", function (err, data) {
dbResult = data;
console.log(data);
});
})(module.exports);
Now in Another file I am trying to get the dbResult and display the data:
var express = require("express");
var app = express();
var connectorObject = require("./Connector.js");
var Massive = require("massive");
app.get("/api/Steves",function(req,res){
res.set("Content-Type","application/json");
res.send(connectorObject.dbResult);
});
app.listen(3000);
console.log("Server Started on port 3000...");
But when I start the URL , not able to see any response .
Am I missing anything here.
What you want to do, is return a function that can be evaluated later for the result:
var Massive = require("massive");
var connectionString = "postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost/postgres";
var db = Massive.connectSync({connectionString : connectionString});
module.exports.getCompanies = function(callback) {
db.query("Select * from company", callback);
}
Then you can access it from your other files as:
var connector = require('./Connector');
connector.getCompanies(function( err, data ) {
if ( err ) return console.error( err );
console.log( data );
});
