Cannot Grab Data From Primary Key In RethinkDB

Question

I'm attempting to grab data in RethinkDB by the primary key. However, my code cannot find the data.

I'm using the RethinkDBDash driver to grab the data and such, I defined Rethink as client.db. The ID is a sliced array from data I'm grabbing from an API, when I console log it, the value is 1. I tested this out by simply entering the integer 1 and it was able to grab the data, however, when I use the data from the API to grab it, it returns a null erorr. The table I am trying to grab data on is named suggestions with a primary key of sid, originally id. The table looks like this:

{
"author": {
"id":  "535986058991501323"
} ,
"sid": 1 ,
"status":  "PENDING" ,
"suggestion":  "wtf"
}

On past projects, I have been able to grab data from the primarykey no problem using this exact method.

const id = args.slice(0).join(' ');
console.log(id);
const data = await client.db.table('suggestions').get(id).run();
console.log(data.sid);

From grabbing the data, I expected a console log with the value 1. However, what I got was an error that says this:

(node:34984) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: Cannot read property 'sid' of null
    at Object.run (C:\Users\facto\Desktop\Projects\JavaScript\Bots\CountSill\commands\deny.js:7:26)

Answer 1

I figured out the issue, the primarykey expects an integer rather than a string, so it looks for an integer rather than a string and since it can't find it, it throws an erorr. To fix it, I just had to change the data from an integer to a string. You can also just use the parseInt function to convert the array from a string to an integer.
