Currently, I am utilizing ExpressJS 4.2 and PassportJS for authenticating local users. Everything seems to be working smoothly except for when attempting to display a failureFlash message. Below is my configuration setup, thank you in advance!
==== Necessary Dependencies in app.js
var express = require('express');
var path = require('path');
var favicon = require('static-favicon');
var logger = require('morgan');
var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var passport = require('passport')
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var flash = require('connect-flash');
==== Configuration Settings in app.js
app.use(logger('dev'));
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded());
app.use(cookieParser('secret'));
app.use(passport.initialize());
app.use(passport.session());
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));
==== /admin Route (routes/admin.js)
router.post('/admin', passport.authenticate('loginAdmin',{ successRedirect: '/panel',
failureRedirect: '/admin',
failureFlash: true }));
==== Passport File (config/passport.js)
passport.use('loginAdmin', new LocalStrategy(
function(username, password, done) {
modeloUsuario.findOne({ nombre: username, password: password }, function(err, user) {
if (err) { return done(err); }
if (!user) {
return done(null, false, { message: 'Incorrect username.' });
}
return done(null, user, {message: "invalid login"}); //<- error problem
});
}
));
==== Lastly, the package.json file
{
"name": "test",
"version": "0.0.2",
"private": true,
"scripts": {
"start": "node app.js"
},
"dependencies": {
"express": "~4.2.0",
"connect-flash": "latest",
"static-favicon": "~1.0.0",
"morgan": "~1.0.0",
"cookie-parser": "~1.0.1",
"body-parser": "~1.0.0",
"debug": "~0.7.4",
"ejs": "~0.8.5",
"passport": "latest",
"passport-local": "latest",
"mongoose": "latest"
}
}
The encountered error:
Github/express-auth/node_modules/passport/lib/middleware/authenticate.js:111
req.flash(type, msg);
^
TypeError: Object #<IncomingMessage> has no method 'flash'
