Returning two queries in NodeJS in a single model. Promise { <pending> }

Question

I've got the following problem:

 exports.displayArea = (area_id) => { console.log(area_id); return client.query(`SELECT * FROM areas WHERE area_id = ${area_id}`).then(({ rows, rowCount }) => { let newInfo = rows[0]; newInfo.restaurants = client.query(`SELECT * FROM rated_restaurants WHERE area_id = ${area_id}`).then(({ rows }) => { return rows; }); newInfo.total_restaurants = rowCount; return newInfo; }); };

I'm trying to return the second query however it gives me a Promise { }. How do I go about returning two of these?

{
  area_id: 2,
  area_name: 'Knutsford',
  restaurants: Promise { <pending> },
  total_restaurants: 1
}

It should ultimately look like this:

{
    area_id: 3,
    name: 'Picadilly',
    total_restaurants: 2,
    restaurants: [
      {
        restaurant_id: 12,
        area_id: 3,
        name: 'Carluccio’s',
        cuisine: 'Italian',
        website: 'http://www.carluccios.com/'
      }
    ]
}

Many thanks,

If I understood. you ran two queries, and the end result is a Promise pending type of thing. OKI look

you do not wait for this promise to resolve

newInfo.restaurants = client
        .query(`SELECT * FROM rated_restaurants WHERE area_id = ${area_id}`)
        .then(({ rows }) => {
          return rows;
        });

exports.displayArea = (area_id) => {
  console.log(area_id);
  let newInfo
  return client
    .query(`SELECT * FROM areas WHERE area_id = ${area_id}`)
    .then(({ rows, rowCount }) => {
       newInfo = rows[0];
       newInfo.total_restaurants = rowCount;
      return client
        .query(`SELECT * FROM rated_restaurants WHERE area_id = ${area_id}`)
        .then(({ rows }) => {

            newInfo.restaurants = rows;
          return newInfo;
        });
    });
};

How about the following:

exports.displayArea = (area_id) => {
    console.log(area_id)

    var q1 = client
        .query(`SELECT * FROM areas WHERE area_id = ${area_id}`)
        .then(({ rows, rowCount }) => {
            return [rows, rowCount]
        })

    var q2 = client
        .query(`SELECT * FROM rated_restaurants WHERE area_id = ${area_id}`)
        .then(({ rows }) => {
            return rows
        })

    return Promise.all([q1, q2]).then(function ([resultQ1, resultQ2]) {
        let newInfo = resultQ1[0][0]
        newInfo.restaurants = resultQ2
        newInfo.total_restaurants = resultQ1[1]
        return newInfo
    })
}
