I get "TypeError: Cannot read property '1' of null" when trying to test get all route?

I am building a login system. When I try to get all users from MySQL DB to test the system and I get

TypeError: Cannot read property '1' of null

what's wrong????

that's my code**

router.get('/', (req, res) => {
  db.query('SELECT * FROM users', 
  (err, rows, fields) => {
    if (err) {
      throw err
    } 
      res.send({rows})

    
  })
});

//* sign up route 

router.post('/sign-up', userValidation.validateRegister, (req, res, next)=>{
  db.query(
    `SELECT * FROM users WHERE LOWER(user_name) = LOWER(${db.escape(req.body.user_name)})
      OR LOWER(email) = LOWER (${db.escape(req.body.email)});`,
    
       (err, result) => {
        if(result.length) {
          return res.status(409).send({msg:'already in use email/username'})
        } else {

          // ? username is available => hash the pass

          bcrypt.hash(req.body.password, 10, (err, hash)=>{
            if(err){
              return res.status(500).send({msg: err})
            } else {

              let email = req.body.email

             //? has hashed pw => add to database 

             db.query(
               `INSERT INTO USERS (id,user_name,email,password,registrated) 
                    VALUES ('${uuid.v4()}', ${db.escape(req.body.user_name)},'${email}', 
                    ${db.escape(hash)}, now())`,
                (err, result) =>{
                  if (err) {
                    throw err
                    return res.status(400).send({msg: err})
                  }

                  return res.status(201).send({msg: "Registered!!"})
                }
                


               )
      
            }
          })
        }
      }
      
      )

})

router.get('/', (req, res) => {
  db.query('SELECT * FROM users', 
  (err, rows, fields) => {
    if (err) {
      throw err
    } 
   if(!rows) throw 'rows not found !'
      res.json({rows});

  })
});

Each query is a promise. It takes some time until you get the result of your request to retrieve data from the database. In your code, you are trying to send rows before you get them back as a response. So you need to wait until you get data back from db.

router.get('/', async (req, res) => {
  const result = await db.query('SELECT * FROM users', (err, rows, fields) => {
    if (err) {
      throw err
    } 
  })
  res.send(result)
});

I recommend using async and await when querying.
