Hey! I’m doing this course on Udemy: MERN Stack React Node Ecommerce from Scratch to Deployment. Still in the initial phase. This is my User schema model:
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const crypto = require('crypto');
const { v1: uuidv1 } = require('uuid');
const userSchema = new mongoose.Schema(
{
name: {
type: String,
trim: true,
required: true,
maxlength: 32
},
email: {
type: String,
trim: true,
required: true,
unique: true
},
hashed_password: {
type: String,
required: true
},
about: {
type: String,
trim: true
},
salt: String,
role: {
type: Number,
default: 0
},
history: {
type: Array,
default: []
}
},
{ timestamps: true }
);
// virtual field for hashing pswd
userSchema
.virtual('password')
.set(function(password) {
this._password = password;
this.salt = uuidv1();
this.hashed_password = this.encryptPassword(password);
})
.get(function() {
return this._password;
});
userSchema.methods = {
authenticate: function(plainText) {
return this.encryptPassword(plainText) === this.hashed_password;
},
encryptPassword: function(password) {
if (!password) return '';
try {
return crypto
.createHmac('sha1', this.salt)
.update(password)
.digest('hex');
} catch (err) {
return '';
}
}
};
module.exports = mongoose.model('User', userSchema);
Giving GET request is working fine, however POST is giving 400 Bad Request.
Acc to me, the syntax is correct. Then why the error?
(Using Intellij IDE on Linux.)
Thanks in advance!
PS: I’m new to MERN etc.
