node-postgres not parsing queries correctly - express

Question

I am trying to count the number of documents in a table that satisfy a condition.
My code in node:-
const [washingCount, washedCount, dirtyCount] = await Promise.all([
pool.query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM clothes WHERE status = 'washing'"),
pool.query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM clothes WHERE status = 'washed'"),
pool.query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM clothes WHERE status = 'dirty'")
])
But I am getting the error saying:
error: column "count" does not exist
And when I copy the same query over to PostgreSQL CLI, those output the desired results.
For full code refer:- https://github.com/js313/clothio/blob/master/index.js
Error stack trace:-
What am I missing here?
Thank you.

Answer 1

Why don't use group by?
select status, count(*) from clothes group by status
Edit
tested with a simple script like this and worked
require("dotenv").config({ path: "./.env" });
const Pool = require("pg").Pool;
const pool = new Pool({
user: process.env.DB_USER,
password: process.env.DB_PASSWORD,
host: process.env.DB_HOST,
port: process.env.DB_PORT,
database: process.env.DB_NAME,
});
async function main() {
const result1 = await pool.query("SELECT now()");
console.log(result1);
const result = await pool.query(
"SELECT status, COUNT(*) FROM clothes group by status"
);
console.log(result.rows);
}
main()
.then()
.catch((e) => console.error(e));

Found the issue in your repo code.
Route registration order matters, so you have this route.
app.get("/clothes/:cloth_id", async (req, res) => {
before the count one, so express is getting into this route and never reaching the count one.
To solve the issue move the /clothes/count route before the clothes/clothe_id one and that should solve the issue
