This is my code for getting user info
router.post("/getuser", fetchuser, async (req, res) => {
try {
userId = req.user.id;
const user = await User.findById(userId).select("-password");
res.send(user);
} catch (error) {
console.error(error.message);
res.status(500).send("Internal Server Error");
}
});
and this is the code for middleware fetchuser
const fetchuser = async (req, res, next) => {
const token = req.header('auth-token');
if (!token) {
res.status(401).send({ error: "Please authenticate using a valid token" })
}
try {
const data = jwt.verify(token, process.env.SECRET);
console.log(data);
req.user = data.user;
next();
} catch (error) {
res.status(401).send({ error: "Please authenticate using a valid token" })
}
};
I am getting the user id in console.log but when I try to get the user id in the router.post then I am not able to get the user Info. Here is the result I am getting.
Server is running on port 5000
Connected to database
{ id: '61e98c45a9d8818292b38505', iat: 1642743501 }
Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'id')
Please can anyone tell me what is wrong with this?
router.post("/getuser", fetchuser, async (req, res) => {
try {
const params = JSON.parse(req)
userId = params.id;
const user = await User.findById(userId).select("-password");
res.send(user);
} catch (error) {
console.error(error.message);
res.status(500).send("Internal Server Error");
}
});
Your code is working fine , you just have to change this line on fetchuser middleware
req.user = data.user
to
req.user = data
and your code work as expected..
