how to save user in mongoose hook using middleware

I am using this library Mongoose Audit Plugin and I have added this snippet in my entity schema:

let AuditLog = require('mongoose-audit')

GiftSchema.virtual('Author').set(function (userEmail) {
  this._user = userEmail
})

Middleware code look like this but it's not saving user in auditlog collection.

var updated = _.merge({}, req.body, {
          Author: req.decoded.user
        })

Any suggestions? I have also used this package but it didn't save any record in DB. mongoose-audit-log

Solution 
  • req.body = _.merge({}, req.body, {
   Author: req.decoded.user
})

    Resolved. I just merged the body in request instead of updated variable
