Get all data asynchronously using node sqlite3

I need to get all data using db.all() asynchronously. I do not want to run other functionality/code within the call back. I would like to "export" the results. Is that ok?

* Im new to SQLite 😬 *

const sqlite3 = require('sqlite3').verbose()
const db = new sqlite3.Database('./db/subscribers.db')

const createSQLStatement = `CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS subscriptions (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, subscriber TEXT)`
db.run(createSQLStatement)

exports.getAllSubscribers = async () => {
  const $sql = `SELECT * FROM subscriptions`
  return await db.all($sql, (err, rows) => {
    if (err) {
      return
    }

    // I wish to export "rows" which is an array
    return rows
  })
}

In another file

const { getAllSubscribers } = require('./foo')

getAllSubscribers().then(subs => {

  // subs is not what I expect it to be.
  // I'm getting:
  // Database { open: true, filename: './db/subscribers.db', mode: 65542 }
  // But I do need subs here to loop over and not inside of getAllSubscribers()

})
.catch(e => console.log(e))

I've also looked on this doc but nothing seems to give me the result I'd expect.

When you are using then and catch you don't use await.

So you need to improve your first script:

const sqlite3 = require('sqlite3').verbose()
const db = new sqlite3.Database('./db/subscribers.db')

const createSQLStatement = `CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS subscriptions (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, subscriber TEXT)`
db.run(createSQLStatement)

exports.getAllSubscribers = () => {
  const $sql = `SELECT * FROM subscriptions`
  return db.all($sql, []);
}

In another file you can use await like this:

const { getAllSubscribers } = require('./foo')
const getSubscribers = async () => {
    const subscribers = await getAllSubscribers();
};

You can find more example here: https://www.scriptol.com/sql/sqlite-async-await.php
