Merging Separate Tables into a Consolidated Function for Easier Retrieval in Node.js Sequelize Queries
Based on the provided code, I’ll provide a more detailed and corrected solution. The issue lies in the getApplicationsTables and getProcessTables functions. They are querying separate tables (Applications and Process) and returning two separate responses. However, they should be merged into one consolidated function that returns both results. Here’s the corrected code: Backend\controllers\tables.js: const sequelize = require("../sequelize"); exports.getAllTables = (req, res) => { return Promise.all([ sequelize.query("SELECT * FROM dbo.Process", { type: sequelize.
