How to Get Query Result into an Array in NodeJs

If you're working with a NodeJs application that interacts with a SQL database, you may need to handle file uploads and then retrieve the file details from the database to display them on a web page. A common challenge developers encounter is how to effectively fetch query results and organize them into an array for further use. In this guide, we will explore how to do this specifically within a file upload scenario, highlighting both the problem and an effective solution.

The Challenge

Imagine you have a page where users can upload files to your server. For each uploaded file, you want to save specific data (such as name, root path, and size) into a SQL database. Later, you want to retrieve this data and render it in an HTML table, but you're unsure of how to acquire the results in a usable array format in NodeJs.

Here's a quick look at the code that lays out the issue:

As you can see, the placeholder results is defined, but it isn't populated with any data from the database.

The Solution

To effectively retrieve results from your SQL query and store them in an array, you will need to follow these steps:

1. Perform the SQL Query

After you execute an INSERT operation, the subsequent need usually involves obtaining data through a SELECT query. In your case, the method for fetching data from the query results is different from PHP. Here’s how you can do it in NodeJs:

2. Accessing the Array

Once you have your query results, you can easily access elements within the array using standard JavaScript array notation. For example, if you wanted to get the name of the first element in the results array, you would do:

3. Displaying the Results in HTML

Now that you have your array populated with the uploaded files' details, you can pass this data back to your HTML template. The res.render function prepares the results for display:

In your HTML template, you could then loop through results to display each file's information in a table format.

Final Thoughts

By properly structuring your database interaction and understanding how to retrieve and utilize query results in NodeJs, you make your application more dynamic and capable. Using these strategies, you'll be able to not only store data but effectively display it in a user-friendly manner.
