i'm learning how to use node.js with mysql. I've tried to find some good documentation but in vain. i'm at the point where I can get my mysql data displayed in my browser but I want to handle it through my index.html and a css file at some point.
This is my app.js:
// moduels
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var mysql = require('mysql');
var bodyParser = require('bodyParser')
//
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended: false}));
// connect to database
var con = mysql.createConnection({
host: "localhost",
user: "root",
password: "1234",
database: "BathBombs_DB"
});
// routes
app.get('/', function(request, response){
console.log('GET request received at /')
con.query("SELECT * FROM customers", function (err, result) {
if (err) throw err;
else{
response.send(result)
}
});
});
// listen for trafic and display on localhost:9000
app.listen(9000, function () {
console.log('Connected to port 9000');
});
My index.html site looks like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge">
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="/" method="POST">
<table type="text" name="firstname"></table>
</form>
</body>
</html>
