I'm working on a method to validate a user's password using bcrypt.compare(). See the code snippet below for details.
UserSchema.methods.validatePassword = async (data) => {
console.log(this.email); // returns undefined
console.log(this.first_name); // returns undefined
return await bcrypt.compare(data, this.password);
};
Below is the UserSchema that I have defined:
const UserSchema = mongoose.Schema(
{
email: {
type: String,
required: true,
unique: true,
},
password: {
type: String,
required: true,
},
},
{ timestamps: { createdAt: 'created_at', updatedAt: 'updated_at' } }
);
While accessing this.password with my schema in .pre('save', ..) it works, but it returns undefined when used in schema methods. :(
Here is how the method is implemented:
const verifySignIn = async (req, res, next) => {
const { email, password } = req.body;
try {
const user = await User.findOne({ email });
if (!user) {
return res.status(404).json({
status: 'failed',
message: 'User Not found.',
});
}
const isValid = await user.validatePassword(password);
if (!isValid) {
return res.status(401).send({
message: 'Invalid Password!',
data: {
user: null,
},
});
}
next();
} catch (err) {
Server.serverError(res, err);
}
};
