I’ve recently encountered an issue while trying to incorporate a Bearer token into my POST route. Upon submitting a POST request using Postman, the resulting output displayed:
{
"success": true,
"token": "Bearer undefined"
}
Shown below is a snippet of my user.js code:
router.post("/login", (req, res) => {
const email = req.body.email;
const password = req.body.password;
//locate user by their email
User.findOne({ email }).then(user => {
//ensure user exists
if (!user) {
return res.status(404).json({ email: "User not found" });
}
//validate password
bcrypt.compare(password, user.password).then(isMatch => {
if (isMatch) {
//successful user verification
const payload = { id: user.id, name: user.name, avatar: user.avatar }; //generate jwt payload
//assigning token : valid for one hour
jwt.sign(
payload,
keys.SecretOrKey,
{ expiresIn: 3600 },
(err, token) => {
res.json({
success: true,
token: "Bearer " + token
});
}
);
} else {
return res.status(400).json({ password: "Incorrect password" });
}
});
});
});
// @route GET api/users/current
// @desc Provide details about current user
// @access Private route
router.get(
"/current",
passport.authenticate("jwt", { session: false }),
(req, res) => {
res.json({ msg: "Success" });
}
);
module.exports = router;
The root cause of this problem remains unclear to me. Any insights or recommendations would be greatly valued.
