My code above runs without any errors but the new password isn't saved.
I've been following the bcrypt docs, a blog post and a video and think the three different sources have resulted in my missing something critical. Any ideas why the new password isn't being saved?
module.exports.submitNewPassword = async (req, res) => {
const slidedHeaderToken = req.headers.referer.slice(-40);
const artist = await Artist.find({ resetPasswordToken: slidedHeaderToken, resetPasswordExpires: { $gt: Date.now() } });
if (!artist) {
console.log("Artist doesn't exist");
} else {
const hashedPassword = async (pw) => {
bcrypt.hash(req.body.password, 12)
}
hashedPassword()
artist.password = hashedPassword;
resetPasswordToken = null;
resetPasswordExpires = null;
console.log("Successfully resubmitted password");
res.redirect('login');
}
}
You should call await artist.save() function after you set some fields
When you make a change to the data using FindOne, you need to save it.
await yourVariable.save()
artists is an array of all the artists matching the parameters in the call to .find(). If you just want to find one, use .findOne().
Then after you modify it, use .save() to save it back to the database.
module.exports.submitNewPassword = async (req, res) => {
const slidedHeaderToken = req.headers.referer.slice(-40);
const artist = await Artist.findOne({ resetPasswordToken: slidedHeaderToken, resetPasswordExpires: { $gt: Date.now() } });
if (!artist) {
console.log("Artist doesn't exist");
} else {
const hashedPassword = async (pw) => {
bcrypt.hash(req.body.password, 12)
}
hashedPassword()
artist.password = hashedPassword;
await artist.save();
resetPasswordToken = null;
resetPasswordExpires = null;
console.log("Successfully resubmitted password");
res.redirect('login');
}
}
