I have an express app to handle user authentication. My app.js file has app.use("/", indexRouter);
app.use("/signup", signupRouter);
app.use("/login", indexRouter);
the signupRouter
works perfect other than when I check if sign up successful and if not re render the signup
page. Basically the css goes missing.
router.get("/", function(req, res) {
res.render("signup", { message: "Fill out the form" });
});
router.post("/register", function(req, res) {
db.createUser(email, name, password)
.then(function() {
res.redirect("/");
})
.catch(function(err) {
console.log("something went wrong");
res.render("signup", { message: `something went wrong ${err}` });
// here css goes missing even though my public folder is set to static.
});
});
I have an indexRouter
that is:
router.get("/", function(req, res) {
res.render("login", { message: "Enter Credentials" });
});
router.post("/login", function(req, res) {
db.findUser(email.password)
.then(function() {
res.redirect("/dashboard");
})
.catch(function(err) {
res.render("login", { message: "USER/PASSWORD NOT FOUND" });
});
});
Upon hitting this /login
I get 500/400 errors. How come? My setup for both routers are identical.
Looks like some syntax error.
In the indexRouter
at line db.findUser(email.password), email.password
seems the culprit.
Shouldn't it be db.findUser(email, password)
