error = new Error('data and salt arguments required');
^
Error: data and salt arguments required
how to fix the problem ..
According to the error you get, it looks like the function bcrypt.hash fails because userData.Password might not be set.
Make sure that you get the userData.Password correctly with the request.
If you use express you might not have a conversion to JSON so add a middleware to parse the data to JSON, like:
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
app.use(express.json());
app.post('/', function(request, response){
console.log(request.body); // your JSON
response.send(request.body); // echo the result back
});
app.listen(3000);

Thank you, I got the solution. The problem in the user-helpers.js.
user-helpers.js
const bcrypt = require('bcrypt')
module.exports={
doSignup:(userData)=>{
return new Promise (async(resolve,reject)=>{
userData.password=await bcrypt.hash(userData.password,10)
db.get().collection(collection.USER_COLLECTION).insertOne(userData).then((data)=>{
resolve(data)
// console.log(userData.password)
// console.log(userData.email)
});
});
}
```
