req.user is undefined when accessing other routes after passport authentication - node.js

Question

I'm using the custom error handling of passportjs. When I finished authenticating and now redirect to other route, the req.user is now undefined on that route. Are there any configurations I need to do?
(req: any, res, next) => {
passport.authenticate('local-register', (err, user, info) => {
if (err) {
return next('Error Auth');
}
if (info) {
return next('Error Auth');
}
if (!user) {
return next('Error Auth');
}
req.logIn(user, (error: Error) => {
if (error) {
return next('Error Auth');
}
return next();
});
})(req, res, next);
app.get('/home', async (req, res, next) => {
console.log(req.user.id) // logs undefined
})
session.js file includes
const sessions = session({
cookie: {
maxAge: 86400000,
httpOnly: true,
secure: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' ? true : 'auto',
sameSite: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' ? 'none' : 'lax',
},
name: 'sessionID',
genid: () => {
return nanoid(36);
},
resave: false,
secret: process.env.SESSION_SECRET ?? '',
saveUninitialized: false,
store: new Reddistore({ client: redisClient }),
});
my index.js file includes
app.use(sessions);
app.use(passport.initialize());
app.use(passport.session());

in your index.js file
const passport = require('passport');
const { passportStrategy } = require('./config/passportStrategy');
passportStrategy(passport);
in config/passportStrategy.js file
const {
Strategy, ExtractJwt
} = require('passport-jwt');
const User = require('../model/user');
const passportStrategy = (passport) => {
const options = {};
options.jwtFromRequest = ExtractJwt.fromAuthHeaderAsBearerToken();
options.secretOrKey = "YOUR_SECRET";
passport.use('local-register',
new Strategy(options, async (payload, done) => {
try {
const result = await User.findOne({ _id: payload.id });
if (result) {
return done(null, result.toJSON());
}
return done('No User Found', {});
} catch (error) {
return done(error,{});
}
})
);
};
module.exports = { passportStrategy };
// your middleware should like this
(req: any, res, next) => {
passport.authenticate('local-register', (err, user, info) => {
if (err) {
return next('Error Auth');
}
if (info) {
return next('Error Auth');
}
if (!user) {
return next('Error Auth');
}
req.user = user; // <=== assign user to req.user
req.logIn(user, (error: Error) => {
if (error) {
return next('Error Auth');
}
return next();
});
})(req, res, next);
app.get('/home', async (req, res, next) => {
console.log(req.user.id) // now you can access user
})
