After successfully using my login script in Postman, I ran into issues when attempting to integrate it with React.js for posting to the server.
The problem lies in the fact that when the script checks for the user, it fails to return the return result. It seems like nothing is happening at all.
Login route:
router.post('/login', async (req,res) => {
console.error(req.body.password)
try {
var check = await checkUser(req.body.email, req.body.password).catch((result) => {
console.log(result)
})
} catch(err){
console.error(err)
}
});
Check function:
async function checkUser(username, password) {
var username = username;
var password = password;
var result;
await Users.findOne({email: username}, async function (err, docs) {
// console.error(docs);
if (err) {
console.log(err)
} else {
const match = await bcrypt.compare(password, docs.password);
if(match) {
result = {userid:docs._id, success:"true"}
//result['userid'] = docs._id;
//result['success'] = true;
} else{
result = {success:"false"}
// result['success'] = false;
}
}
// console.error(result);
return result;
})
}
I'm curious if anyone can pinpoint where I might be making a mistake.
