I have created a form for signing up a user. I want to fetch the values from the form using body-parser but I am not able to do so. While prinnting in the console it gives undefined printed. I don't get what am I doing wrong. I even tried using postman but it doesn't work. Here is my code:
var express = require('express'),
app = express(),
mongoose = require('mongoose'),
bodyParser = require('body-parser'),
passport = require('passport'),
LocalStrategy = require('passport-local'),
methodOverride = require('method-override'),
flash = require('flash'),
session = require('express-session');
app.get("/about", function(req, res) {
res.render("about");
});
app.get("/register", function(req, res) {
res.render("register");
});
app.post("/register", function(req, res) {
var firstName = req.body.firstName,
lastName = req.body.lastName,
username = req.body.username,
email = req.body.email;
var newUser = new User({
firstName: firstName,
lastName: lastName,
username: username,
email: email
});
console.log(firstName + " " + req.body.password + " " + req.body.c_password);
User.register(newUser, req.body.password, function(err, user) {
if(err) {
return res.render("register", {'error': err.message});
}
passport.authenticate('local')(req, res, function() {
req.flash('success', 'Welcome ' + user.username);
res.redirect('/home');
})
})
});
var port = process.env.PORT || 3000;
app.listen(port, function() {
console.log("Service Running");
});
And here is my form

Help very much appreciated!!!
Express uses middleware, which are functions that have access to incoming requests. Requests can be modified etc. Simply put middleware can be used for lots of things.
You have not setup bodyParser as middleware so it will not work. This can be done by:
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended: false})) for form data
app.use(bodyParser.json()) for incoming JSON before your routes.
Here's the ExpressJs guide on middle: https://expressjs.com/en/guide/writing-middleware.html
You've successfully imported body-parser into your app, but you've failed to use it. Add the following code before you use your routes.
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }))
I hope it was helpful.

passport.authenticate() seems to be the problem here, either it will display a Bad Request message or just does nothing and tries to load the requested page without success. Will deeply appreciate your help in this issue. Thanks
Update: Here is what worked for me, I wrote a new post method
app.post("/register",function(req,res){
var username = req.body.username;
var password = req.body.password;
var email = req.body.email;
User.register({username:username,email:email},password,function(err,user){
console.log("post here")
if(err){
return console.log(err);
}
if(!user){
return res.redirect('/signup');
}
req.login(user, function(err){
if(err){
return console.log(err);
}
console.log("post");
res.render("bioform",{currentUser:req.user});
});
});
});
Reverse the order of your middleware - your express sessions should be declared before passport sessions, otherwise passport will be unable to use them:
app.use(expressSession({
secret:"Test Key",
resave:false,
saveUninitialized:false
}));
app.use(passport.initialize());
app.use(passport.session());
You have some other issues as well - passport.authenticate() should not be called in your /register route. You are currently calling req.login() inside of passport.authenticate when it should be called on its own; see this StackOverflow answer as well as Passport Login Docs. You will want to do something like this:
User.register(/* ... */, function(err, user) {
if (err) {
return res.redirect('/signup');
} else {
req.login(user, function(err) {
if (!err) {
return res.redirect('/home');
} else {
// handle error
}
});
}
});
Take a closer look at passport-local-mongoose which has some simplified configuration starting with their 0.2.1 version, passport docs, and this Express LocalStrategy example. Manually register a user in your Mongoose database and test the authentication strategy with that user. Once you have that working you can move on to your /register route, assuming you are attempting to auto-login after registration
I am learning to use passport js in my form application and I am using a user object in an application that uses this model to save a user in database but when I return a user object that has been created and try to update that object by using findOne method I run into user.findOne is not a function error Here is my code.
Thanks in advance for helping me out.
user.js looks something like this
var mongoose = require("mongoose");
var passportLocalMongoose = require("passport-local-mongoose");
var usersSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
username:String,
password:String,
email:String
});
usersSchema.plugin(passportLocalMongoose);
module.exports = mongoose.model("User",usersSchema);

You are trying to call findOne in the object returned by the call to register from passport-local-moongoose.
Instead, you should call it through the User model:
const User = require("./models/User");
[...]
User.register(new User({ username: userName }), inputPassword, function(err, user) {
[...]
// Use User model instead of the object returned in User.register.
User.findOne({ username: userName }, function(err, user) {
// Your logic here.
});
});
I have the file upload api, which send out the SUCCESS message on the file upload and the FAILURE message when the file not selected.
app.js

const upload = require("express-fileupload");
const request = require("request");
app.use(express.urlencoded());
app.use(express.json());
app.use(upload({
useTempFiles: true,
tempFileDir: '/tmp/'
}));
console.log("Server Started");
// To load both HTML and CSS files on the root call
app.use(express.static(__dirname + "/public"));
app.get("/", function (req, res) {
res.sendFile(__dirname + "/index.html");
}
)
app.post("/", function (req, res) {
if (req.files.filename.name) {
res.send("uploaded");
}
else
res.send("Please select the file to upload!");
})
Instead res.send(), i want to display some modal box defined on my html code. Need a help on how to incorporate or shown this modal box upon my post request.

I am trying to create an Angular app that sends an email using Nodemailer.
I am able to create a standard Angular app that contains a form. I then want to pass data from this form to a .JS file which will then use Nodemailer to send that data to an email address.
All the examples I have found so far for Nodemailer use View engines such as handlebars, etc. but I want to use my angular app's HTML rather than a view engine.
How do I pass data from my Angular app's form to a .JS file to send an email without having to use a View Engine?
Below is what I have so far in my Angular app:
<form method="POST" action="send">
<p>

<input type="text" name="company">

And this is what I have in the tutorial code:
APP.JS
const express = require("express");
const bodyParser = require("body-parser");
const exphbs = require("express-handlebars");
const path = require("path");
const nodemailer = require("nodemailer");
const app = express();
// View engine setup
app.engine("handlebars", exphbs());
app.set("view engine", "handlebars");
// Static folder
app.use("/public", express.static(path.join(__dirname, "public")));
// Body Parser Middleware
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.get("/", (req, res) => {
res.render("contact");
});
app.post("/send", async (req, res) => {
const output = `
<p>You have a new contact request</p>
<h3>Contact Details</h3>
<ul>
<li>Name: ${req.body.name}</li>
<li>Company: ${req.body.company}</li>
<li>Email: ${req.body.email}</li>
<li>Phone: ${req.body.phone}</li>
</ul>
<h3>Message</h3>
<p>${req.body.message}</p>
`;
try{
var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
service: "gmail",
auth: {
user: "myemail#mail.com",
pass: "myPassword"
},
tls: {
rejectUnauthorized: false
}
});
}
catch(err){
console.log(err.message);
}
const mailOptions = {
from: "myemail#mail.com", // sender address
to: "myemail#mail.com", // list of receivers
subject: "Test email", // Subject line
html: output // plain text body
};
let info = await transporter.sendMail(mailOptions);
console.log("Message sent: %s", info.messageId);
console.log("Preview URL: %s", nodemailer.getTestMessageUrl(info));
res.render("contact", { msg: "Email has been sent" });
});
app.listen(3000, () => console.log("Server started..."));

I can post further code if necessary.
So I managed to pass data from the form (root.component.html) to the server (app.js), capture it & print it to the console via the POST method.
Code is below:
root.component.html:
<form #emailForm="ngForm">
<div class="col-md-6">
<div>
<label for="username">
Username
</label>
<input
type="text"
id="username"
[(ngModel)]="username"
required
name="username"
#txtUsername="ngModel"
/>
</div>
<div>
<label for="message">Message</label>
<textarea
id="message"
placeholder="Please enter your message here"
[(ngModel)]="message"
required
name="message"
#txtMessage="ngModel"
></textarea>
</div>
<button
axis-button
class="axis-btn"
title="Submit"
data-kind="primary"
(click)="sendMessage()"
[disabled]="emailForm.invalid"
>
Send Email
</button>
</div>
</form>
root.component.ts:
export class RootComponent implements OnInit {
constructor(private rootService: RootService) {}
username: string;
message: string;
ngOnInit() {
this.getData();
}
getData() {
this.rootService.getAPIData().subscribe(
response => {
console.log('response from GET API is ', response);
},
error => {
console.log('error is ', error);
}
);
}
postData(name: string, message: string) {
this.rootService.postAPIData(name, message).subscribe(
response => {
console.log('response from POST API is ', response);
},
error => {
console.log('error during post is ', error);
}
);
}
sendMessage() {
this.postData(this.username, this.message);
}
}
root.service.ts:
export class RootService {
constructor(private http: HttpClient) {}
getAPIData() {
return this.http.get('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users');
}
postAPIData(name: string, message: string) {
return this.http.post('/api/postData', {
name: name,
message: message
});
}
}
app.js:
const express = require('express')
const app = express()
const bodyParser = require('body-parser')
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.send('Welcome to Node API')
})
app.get('/getData', (req, res) => {
res.json({'message': 'Hello World'})
})
app.post('/postData', bodyParser.json(), (req, res) => {
res.json(req.body) // Prints the request body to the browser console
const output = `Name: ${req.body.name}......Email: ${req.body.message}`;
console.log(output);
})
app.listen(3000, () => console.log('Example app listening on port 3000!'))
