Hi I am trying to fetch data from server/index.js api endpoint data.getData()
which is provided from api/data.js which in turn gets it's configuration and connection object from db/index.js. The problem is that the async/await is not returning anything and in the dev console network says pending. I don't receive any errors either. The code is below. Using node-pg with pool.query.
//server/index.js
const express = require("express");
const data = require("./api/data")
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3001;
const app = express();
app.use(express.json())
app.get('/', async (req, res) => {
// res.status(200).send('Hello World!');
await data.getData()
.then(response => {
res.status(200).send(console.log(response));
})
.catch(error => {
res.status(500).send(error);
})
console.log("server running")
})
app.listen(PORT, () => {
console.log(`Server listening on ${PORT}`);
});
//api/data.js
const db = require('../db/index.js');
const getData = async () => {
const query = {
// text: 'SELECT COUNT(*) as count FROM "public"."Subregions-USA";',
text: 'SELECT Now()',
// values: ['B007RKDGVQ'],
// rowMode: 'array',
};
const dbResults = await db.query(query)
.then((data) => JSON.stringify(data))
.catch(error => {
console.log(error)
})
console.log("database response test")
return dbResults
}
// getData()
module.exports = {getData}
The setup is pretty simple but i can't understand why it is not working.
I am trying to connect to postgresql in digital ocean and all the connections and configs are correct. I have used the same setup similar but with electron.js and it works. I am able to retrieve the data easily.
Any help appreciated.
Ok I have found the problem and it has nothing to do with the logic itself but more with the package I installed for PostgreSQL.
Instead of installing npm i pg
I did instead npm i node-pg
for some stupid reason.
After uninstalling and installing the correct package I am able to work with the PostgreSQL response.
