NodeJS: How do I assign a query result into a variable and use it to populate html table?












0















I have been doing NodeJS and Express practise since few days. I want to return a query result and assign it on a html table in NodeJS. Here's what I have done:



//My controller
exports.mainpage = function(req,res){
sql = "SELECT * from students";
var qry = db.query(sql,function (err, result) {
if (err) throw err;
return result;
});
console.log(qry);
res.render('layouts/main', qry);
}


Routes:



router.get('/', student_controller.mainpage);


HTML(using handlebars):



<table class="table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>#</th>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Gender</th>
<th>DOB</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
{{#each qry}}
<td>1</td>
<td>{{this.name}}</td>
<td>{{this.gender}}</td>
<td>{{this.dob}}</td>
{{/each}}
</tbody>
</table>


I am getting so many error. I guess my code are wrong. Please help me correct this code.

          What errors are you receiving?



          I'll respond to the most obvious problem not knowing all the errors you have:



          The most obvious issue is you never define resultqry in your controller.



          You assign the result of your db query to a variable called qry, but then you send an undefined and undeclared variable resultqry to your template.



          Instead of var qry = use var resultqry=



          var resultqry = db.query(sql,function (err, result) {
          if (err) throw err;
          return result;
          });
          console.log(resultqry);
          res.render('layouts/main', resultqry);

            My assumption is that you are not getting the results in your result object. That is because you need to wait for the results to be returned before you do a render. Try something like following:






            exports.mainpage = function(req,res){
            sql = "SELECT * from students";
            db.query(sql)
            .then(result => res.render('layouts/main', result);
            .catch(error => console.log(error) //put your error handler here


            }
