I want to be able to return a result set of data and just change the formatting of the date field to something more readable leaving all the other data intact. I would prefer t

Answer 1

Both ways worked for me. I think for testing I will use the forEach() until I need to duplicate it and then I will create the separate function.

This is what I ended up with.

let moment = require('moment');

// Get all the Tasks
function getAllTasks() {
 return models.gantt_tasks.findAll()
 .then(function(tasks) {
   tasks.forEach( task => task.start_date = moment(task.start_date).format("YYYY-MM-DD"));
   return tasks;
 })
 .catch(function(e) {
   console.error(e);
   return e;
 });
}

router.get('/data', (req, res) =>
 getAllTasks()
  .then((tasks) => res.json({ data: tasks }))
)

I ended up needing the Moment library to convert my dates as Sequelize wasn't let me easily manipulate the dates.
