I'm currently experimenting with Node.js, and I'm stuck a little bit. I'm trying to pass a query to Mustache.
Index.js
//Load Express Framework
var express = require('express');
//Load Mustache Template Engine
var mustachex = require('mustachex');
//Load MySQL
var mysql = require('mysql');
var connection = mysql.createConnection({
host : 'localhost',
user : 'nodeuser',
password : 'testpass',
database : 'node',
});
connection.connect(function(err) {
});
//Call express
var app = express();
//Set Global App Settings
app.engine('html', mustachex.express);
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));
app.set('view engine', 'html');
app.set('views', __dirname + '/views');
//Call the layout
app.get('/', function(req, res) {
var sql = 'SELECT * FROM menu WHERE id = 1';
connection.query(sql, function(err, results) {
});
for (var i in results){
var sqlResult = results[i];
console.log(sqlResult['address'], sqlResult['text']);
}
res.render('index');
});
//app.get('/test', function(req, res) {
// res.render('test');
//});
//Create Server
var port = Number(process.env.PORT || 5000);
app.listen(port, function() {
console.log("Listening on " + port);
});
Header.html (partial)
In here I'm trying to load the queried data from MySQL.
<div id="menu-container">
<div id="menu">
<span class="text"><a href="{{address}}">{{text}}</a></span>
<span class="text"><a href="/">Home</a></span>
<span class="text"><a href="/services">Services</a></span>
<span class="text"><a href="/contact">Contact</a></span>
</div>
</div>
I just started learning Node.js two days ago. I was able to figure out how to use the partials with Mustache, but I can't figure out MySQL. I already created the necessary tables in the node database.
MySQL
menu
-> ID (INT) -> 1
-> Address (Text) -> www.example.com
-> Text (Text) -> Test
How can I fix this problem?
It's quite hard to find good Node.js manuals.
