I have the following function that gets a hexcode from the database
function getColour(username, roomCount)
{
connection.query('SELECT hexcode FROM colours WHERE precedence = ?', [roomCount], function(err, result)
{
if (err) throw err;
return result[0].hexcode;
});
}
My problem is that I am returning the result in the callback function but the getColour function doesn't return anything. I want the getColour function to return the value of result[0].hexcode.
At the moment when I called getColour it doesn't return anything
I've tried doing something like
function getColour(username, roomCount)
{
var colour = '';
connection.query('SELECT hexcode FROM colours WHERE precedence = ?', [roomCount], function(err, result)
{
if (err) throw err;
colour = result[0].hexcode;
});
return colour;
}
but of course the SELECT query has finished by the time return the value in colour

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);
}
});
