javascript - How can i pipe mysql data to a browser window instead of the console in Nodejs? -

hi trying output mysql data browser window instead of console, , have not clue on how in node, quite new to.

here mysql.js file: ' var mysql = require ("mysql");

var connection = mysql.createconnection({     host:"localhost",     user: "root",  });  connection.connect(function (err) {console.log( "successfully   connected.");     if (err) throw err;  });   var query = connection.query("select * mytable", function (err, result, fields){     if (err) throw err;     console.log('result:', result); });  connection.end();' 

you need create server can connect , receive data browser. convenient , far simplest way http. can read http servers in node.js here. fist code snippet on page demonstrates http server 1 handler function, need achieve goal.

an (untested) example convenience:

// dependencies var mysql = require("mysql"),     http  = require("http");  // holds our query results var results;  // connect database var connection = mysql.createconnection({     host: "localhost",     user: "root" }); connection.connect(function(err) {     if (err) throw err;     console.log("connected database"); }); connection.query("select * mytable", function(err, rows, fields) {     if (err) throw err;     results = rows;     connection.end(); // disconnect database });  // function handle browser's requests function requesthandler(req, res) {    res.end(json.stringify(results)); // respond request string }  // create server var server = http.createserver(requesthandler); // magic number 8080 on here port our server listens to. // can access webpage visiting address http://localhost:8080 server.listen(8080, function() {      console.log("server online"); });
