Node.js returning result from MySQL query

by

You have to do the processing on the results from the db query on a callback only. Just like.

function getColour(username, roomCount, callback)
{
    connection.query('SELECT hexcode FROM colours WHERE precedence = ?', [roomCount], function(err, result)
    {
        if (err) 
            callback(err,null);
        else
            callback(null,result[0].hexcode);

    });

}

//call Fn for db query with callback
getColour("yourname",4, function(err,data){
        if (err) {
            // error handling code goes here
            console.log("ERROR : ",err);            
        } else {            
            // code to execute on data retrieval
            console.log("result from db is : ",data);   
        }    

});
