Seeking a way to perform a redirect following an ajax `put` request. My intention is to implement client-side validation using pure JS.
Client:
$(document).ready(function() {
login = () => {
var username = $("[name='username']").val()
var password = $("[name='password']").val()
$.ajax({
type: "put",
url: '/login',
data: {
username: username,
password: password
}
})
}
logout = () => {
console.log("Log out clicked.")
Cookies.remove('username')
Cookies.remove('first_name')
Cookies.remove('last_name')
Cookies.remove('email')
window.location.href = window.location.origin + '/logout'
}
})
Server:
/* GET home page. */
router.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
res.render('main')
});
router.put('/login', function(req, res) {
// Password is not encrypted here
console.log('req.body')
console.log(req.body)
User.findOne({ username: req.body.username }, function(err, user) {
// Password is encrypted here
if (err) throw err
console.log('user')
console.log(user)
bcrypt.compare(req.body.password, user.password, function(err, result) {
if (result) {
var token = jwt.encode(user, JWT_SECRET)
return res.redirect('/')
} else {
return res.status(401).send({error: "Something is wrong."})
}
})
})
})
Struggling to get `main.hbs` to render post a successful login. The commented code functions as expected, but aiming for server-side redirection instead of client-side for enhanced security.
