Hello everyone, I am currently in the process of building an API using EXPRESS.JS and MongoDB. While testing with postman, I encountered an issue where the req.body.password field is undefined when attempting to parse it using postman. Strangely enough, I am able to successfully parse the name and email fields, but the password remains undefined. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Below are the files related to this:
userController.js file
const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');
const bcrypt = require('bcryptjs');
const asyncHandler = require('express-async-handler');
const User = require('../models/userModel');
// Register New User
// POST /api/users
// Public Access
const userRegister = asyncHandler(async (req, res) => {
const {name, email, password} = req.body;
res.json({name: `${name}`, email: `${email}`, password: `${password}`});
if (!name || !email) {
res.status(400);
throw new Error('Please Enter valid Inputs');
}
res.json({ message: 'User Register' });
});
// Authenticate User
// POST /api/users/login
// Public Access
const userLogin = asyncHandler(async (req, res) => {
res.json({ message: 'User Login' });
});
// User Data
// POST /api/users/member
// Public Access
const userMember = asyncHandler(async (req, res) => {
res.json({ message: 'User Member' });
});
module.exports = {
userRegister,
userLogin,
userMember,
};
server.js
const express = require('express');
const colors = require('colors');
const dotenv = require('dotenv').config();
const { errorHandler } = require('./middleware/errorMiddleware');
const connectDB = require('./config/db');
const port = process.env.PORT || 8000;
connectDB();
const app = express();
app.use(express.json());
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
const userRoute = require('./routes/userRoutes');
app.use('/api/users', userRoute);
app.use(errorHandler);
app.listen(port, () => console.log(`Server running on http://localhost:${port}`));
route file
const express = require('express');
const router = express.Router();
const {
userRegister,
userLogin,
userMember,
} = require('../controllers/userController');
router.route('/').post(userRegister);
router.route('/member').post(userMember);
router.route('/login').post(userLogin);
module.exports = router;
userModel.js file
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const userSchema = new mongoose.Schema(
{
name: {
type: String,
required: true,
unique: true,
},
email: {
type: String,
required: true,
unique: true,
},
password: {
type: String,

module.exports = mongoose.model('User', userSchema);
