Currently using mongoose to render admin and user information on a dashboard however i can't seem to render the id of a user
Here is my code
function ensureAuthenticated(req, res, next){
if(req.isAuthenticated()){
return next();
} else {
req.flash('error_msg', 'You are not logged in');
res.redirect('/dashboard/login');
}
}
/* GET Dashboard page. */
router.get('/dashboard', ensureAuthenticated, (req, res) => {
User.find({}, function(err, users) {
res.render('dashboard/index.hbs', {
pageTitle: 'Dashboard',
total: users.length,
users: users
});
});
});
<a href="/dashboard/users/{{_id}}">My profile</a>
Added some code to the question from the repo. Added the ensureAuthenticated function. From what I can see the model and everything is setup correctly and as an example the total renders correctly so it a getting users.
When you debug the req that you have, something (I suspect Passport) has included a user variable directly there, so you can feed that into your view.
/* GET Dashboard page. */
router.get('/dashboard', ensureAuthenticated, (req, res) => {
User.find({}, function(err, users) {
res.render('dashboard/index.hbs', {
pageTitle: 'Dashboard',
total: users.length,
users: users,
currentUser: req.user
});
});
});
And in your view you can use that
<a href="/dashboard/users/{{currentUser._id}}">My profile</a>
