My code:

const pool = createPool ({
    host: "127.0.0.1",
    user: "root",
    password: "",
    database: "api_db",
    connectionLimit: 10
})

pool.query(`SELECT * FROM po_view`, (err, result, field) => {
    if(err) {
        return console.log(err);
    } 
    return console.log(result)
})

module.exports = pool

It looks like this node module doesn't support "caching_sha2_password" authentication. It's been introduced maybe in MySQL 8.0. In the meantime you can downgrade your mysql user:

$ sudo mysql -u root
mysql> ALTER USER the_user IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'the_password';

Please keep in mind this doesn't fix the issue, it just downgrades your user password so it can be used with mysqljs' mysql node module.

It looks like PR #2233 would solve your issue.

It looks like I prefix my sentences with "It looks like"... 😹

It works for me! Thanks!
