new – TypeError: undefined is not a Function

I wrote a simple JS node file to query SQLite3 database with information I found on the Internet.

var sqlite3 = require('sqlite3').verbose();

var db = new sqlite3.database("restful.db");

var sql = "SELECT * FROM sensors";

db.all(sql, [], function(err, rows) {

   if (err) {
       throw err;
   }

   rows.forEach(function(row) {

       console.log(row.name);
   });

});

db.close();

However, I keep running into an error message as shown in the following image.

I have checked other similar questions, but they are not as helpful.

Isn’t new an operator? What am I doing Wrong?

Answer

According to the sqlite3 docs https://www.npmjs.com/package/sqlite3

database starts with an uppercase D as opposed to the lowercase d

so this

var db = new sqlite3.database("restful.db");

should be this

var db = new sqlite3.Database("restful.db");
