I've a function that makes a simple pgsql query which I'd like returned to the const variable it's declared in, so I can access it in other parts of the code.
const Id = client.query(idQuery, (err, result) => {
if(err) {
console.log(err);
}
const Data = result.rows;
if(Data == undefined) {
console.log("Running query ...");
} else {
console.log("Done.");
}
return Data;
})
Yet, if I try to assign its value like so: const testVar = Id
, the value is always undefined
. The same is true if I console.log(Id)
. There's probably something very simple that I'm glancing over, but I've declared other functions similarly with successful output.
