I am trying to add authentication to my app. There are two models named user and user-credential. The user has one user-credential.
The post request to the User is working fine. Password is stored in the user-credential model(hashed) and other fields are stored in the user model.
But When I make login request I am getting following error
Unhandled error in POST /users/login: 500 TypeError: this.userRepository.findCredentials is not a function at MyUserService.verifyCredentials (D:\ionic-pr\loopback-projects\no\node_modules@loopback\authentication-jwt\src\services\user.service.ts:38:56) at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:68:7)
The user-service inside authentication-jwt in node-modules is throwing error.
I can't get what is going wrong.
Thank you in advance
EDIT: Now I have made two controllers. The first one makes post request works fine. And the second one performs login as below
imports -
import {TokenService} from '@loopback/authentication';
import {Credentials, MyUserService, TokenServiceBindings, UserRepository, UserServiceBindings} from "@loopback/authentication-jwt";
import {inject} from '@loopback/core';
import {repository} from '@loopback/repository';
import {post, requestBody} from '@loopback/rest';
import {SecurityBindings, UserProfile} from '@loopback/security';
constructor -
constructor(
@inject(TokenServiceBindings.TOKEN_SERVICE)
public jwtService: TokenService,
@inject(UserServiceBindings.USER_SERVICE)
public userService: MyUserService,
@inject(SecurityBindings.USER, {optional: true})
public user: UserProfile,
@repository(UserRepository) protected userRepository: UserRepository,
)
As you stated you are using @ loopback/authenntication-jwt
import {User} from '../models';
import {UserRepository} from '../repositories';
From above it seems that you have created your own user-repository. You are not usng the default one from the extension, which is throwing error. the above import should be like
import {
Credentials,
MyUserService,
TokenServiceBindings,
User,
UserRepository,
UserServiceBindings,
} from "@loopback/authentication-jwt";
This will fix you out. If you are trying to create your own custom user than please refer https://github.com/strongloop/loopback-next/tree/master/extensions/authentication-jwt#customizing-user Also you have imported wrong UserSerivce. it should be from @loopback/authentication-jwt and your injection should be like
@inject(UserServiceBindings.USER_SERVICE) public userService: MyUserService,
