Not able to connect to postgres using Massive.js

Question

I am trying to connect to postgres database using massive.js. I have created a database and a table using command line in postgress now when I am trying to connect it to postgres using Massive.js I am getting error. To me it looks like I am getting error in require('massive'). But I have already installed massive in nodemodules.

 exports = module.exports = (connection, loaderConfig = {}, driverConfig = {}) => {
                                                     ^

SyntaxError: Unexpected token =

    at Module._compile (module.js:410:26)
    at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:417:10)

Here is my code :

const express = require('express');
const http = require('http');
const massive = require('massive');

const app = express();

massive({
  host: '127.0.0.1',
  port: 5432,
  database: 'demo',
  user: 'postgres',
  password: ''
}).then(instance => {
  app.set('db', instance);

  app.get('/', (req, res) => {
    req.app.get('db').feed_items.find({
      'rating >': 0
    }, {
      order: 'created_at desc'
    }).then(items => {
      res.json(items);
    });
  });

  http.createServer(app).listen(3000);
});

Help would be really appreciated.

Try using Massive.ConnectSync(ConnectionString : yourConnectionString); Example: var db=Massive.ConnectSync(ConnectionString : yourConnectionString); Use the instance db for getting the data from Database.
