Bind problem in SQL query in Node, Express, Mysql2 app

I have been following a tutorial on setting up REST APIs in Node, using Express for an app that accesses an existing MariaDB database. My version only needs to read data and I have the DB co-located with the Node application (same host).

My goal for this entry-level example is to just access the data, using static SQL, so I can see it rendered in the web page by the JSON pritifier.

[Next, I want to present the data in a table (EJS?). Later, when I can get that to work, I'll add form controls (React?) to let a user specify start and end date bounds for the SQL query. Finally I'll aim to render the data as a line graph (D3js).]

The tutorial runs the web server successfully (it returns 'OK' on the base URL), but when I go to URL/solarData it tries an async function to getMultiple rows from the DB, it responds:

Bind parameters must not contain undefined. To pass SQL NULL specify JS null TypeError: Bind parameters must not contain undefined. To pass SQL NULL specify JS null

  return results;
}

module.exports = {
  query
}

I've left out the ./helper.js

Everything runs fine until I direct the webpage to /solarData. At that point I get the Debug Console (vscode) mentioned up-front

Searching seems to point at a mysql2 shortcoming/bug but not at a practical solution If you respond, please describe the 'bind' mechanism, as I'm not sure what's going on.

Hope I've put enough info in. Please ask if I need to add anything else.

The error says

Bind parameters must not contain undefined.

It means that in the file ./services/solarData.js on the line

const rows = await db.query(
    `SELECT * FROM DTP LIMIT ?,?`, [offset, config.listPerPage]
  );

Some of the 2 variables is undefined, you need to check offset and config.listPerPage to be defined.

Just use

console.log('offset: ' + offset)
console.log('listPerPage: ' + config.listPerPage)

and you will find out what is undefined in your case
