[nodemon] app crashed - waiting for file changes before starting.

..

module.exports = function() {

  this.getNoticias(connection, callback){
    connection.query('SELECT * FROM noticias', callback);
  }

  return this;
}

Answer 1

The expression you used to declare a function is invalid.

In order to declare a function, you should use this.getNoticias = function(...)

So the complete code should look like this:

this.getNoticias = function(connection, callback){
    connection.query('select * from noticias', callback);
}
