How do I retrieve data from a mysql database using node js and then display it in a html element (not a table) using jquery or javascript?

Question

I'm new to using node js and I am currently attempting a restaurant booking system where the dates are stored in a mysql database table. I am currently trying to pull through these values (the dates) to a html page within elements.

So far, I have managed to connect to the mysql database and display the results array on the url http://localhost:1337/get-content within my database.js file.

I have then attempted to use jquery in a separate js file to display the results in a div element. I attempted this solution code in this thread: How to display nodejs mysql results on html page? but it just continues to display the results array.

var mysql = require("mysql");
var express = require("express");
var app = express();
var http = require("http");
var path = require("path");
var fs = require("fs"); //file assist
var datesArr = [];


app.get("/get-content", function (req, resp) {
 
  db.query("SELECT Date FROM dates", function (error, results) {
    if (error) {
      console.log("Error in the query");
      console.log(error);
    } else {
      console.log("successful query.");
      
      resp.send(results);
      
    }
  });

  console.log("Displaying Data!");
});

var db = mysql.createConnection({
  //properties...
  host: "localhost",
  user: "root",
  password: "",
  database: "sampledb",
});

db.connect(function (error) {
  //callback
  if (error) {
    console.log("Error");
  } else {
    console.log("Connected");
  }
});

function executeQuery(sql, cb) {
  db.query(sql, function (error, result, fields) {
    if (error) {
      throw error;
    }
    cb(result);
  });
}

app.listen(1337);

jQuery.get("/get-content", function (data) {
  jQuery.each(data, function (index, item) {
    var status = item.status;
    var div = "<div>" + status + "</div>";
    $("#messages").append(div);
  });
  var x = "<div>END</div>";
  $("#messages").append(x);
});

Is anyone able to advise me of how I can retrieve data from mysql data using node js and then display it within a html element (not a html table) within a html page using jquery? Thank you!
