Bad Request in Node Js using passport Js - node.js

Question

I am trying to build a registration and login page using passport-local-mongoose.
When I click on submit signup button I get an error which says bad request.
I am getting "Bad Request" while registering, but the details are being stored in MongoDB. Not sure where I am making a mistake.
Please help me out.
Here is my register POST API.
let express = require('express');
let mongoose = require('mongoose');
const passport = require('passport');
const LocalStrategy = require('passport-local');
const passportLocalMongoose = require('passport-local-mongoose');
var expressValidator = require('express-validator');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser')
const { check, validationResult } = require('express-validator');
const Admin = require('../models/admin-model');
let router = express.Router();
const app = express();
//Creating a Secret Key to Hash Password
router.use(require('cookie-session')({
secret: 'jdkjhLGUL#^&%^%(*)&^%#!gkjh', // Encode/Decore Session
resave: false,
saveUninitialized: false
}));
passport.use(new LocalStrategy({
usernameField: 'email',
passwordField: 'password'
}, Admin.authenticate()));
//Encrypting and Decrypting the Password for Security
passport.serializeUser(Admin.serializeUser()); //session Encoding
passport.deserializeUser(Admin.deserializeUser());
// passport.use(new LocalStrategy(Admin.authenticate()));
//Setting the View Engine to take EJS Pages
app.set('view engine', "ejs");
app.set('views', "./views")
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
app.use(express.json());
app.use(passport.initialize());
app.use(passport.session());
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));
mongoose.connect("mongodb://localhost:27017/node-auth-db", { useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true })
.then(() => console.log('Connected to node-auth-db successfully....!'))
.catch(err => console.log(err))
router.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.render('home');
});
router.get('/login', (req, res) => {
res.render('signin');
});
router.post('/login', passport.authenticate("local", {
successRedirect: '/admin/addnews',
failureRedirect: '/login'
}));
//Registration
router.get('/register', (req, res) => {
res.render('signup');
});
router.post('/register', (req, res) => {
Admin.findOne({ username: req.body.email }, (err, result) => {
if (err) throw err;
if (!result) {
Admin.register(new Admin({ name: req.body.name, username: req.body.email }),
req.body.password, function (err, admin) {
if (err) throw err;
passport.authenticate("local")(req, res, function () {
res.redirect('/admin/login');
})
}
)
}
else {
res.redirect('/admin/register');
}
});
});
//Add News
router.get('/addnews', isLoggedIn, (req, res) => {
res.render('addnews');
});
router.post('/addnews', (req, res) => {
News.create(req.body, (err, data) => {
if (err) throw err;
const htmlMsg = encodeURIComponent('Added News DONE !');
res.redirect('/admin/addnews');
})
});
//Creating a Authentication Token to secure the logging and Logout.
function isLoggedIn(req, res, next) {
if (req.isAuthenticated()) {
return next();
}
res.redirect('/admin/login');
}
router.get('/logout', (req, res) => {
req.logOut();
res.redirect('/admin');
});
module.exports = router;[]

Might be the issue is here you are passing req.body.password outside admin module
Admin.register(new Admin({ name: req.body.name, username: req.body.email, req.body.password}), function (err, admin) {
if (err) throw err;
passport.authenticate("local")(req, res, function () {
res.redirect('/admin/login');
})
}
)
