I have a project using passportjs fully working, but not showing flash messages.
The passportjs file looks like this:
passport.use('local-login', new LocalStrategy({
// by default, local strategy uses username and password, we will override with email
usernameField: 'email',
passwordField: 'password',
passReqToCallback: true // allows us to pass in the req from our route (lets us check if a user is logged in or not)
},
function (req, email, password, done) {
if (email) {
email = email.toLowerCase()
} // Use lower-case e-mails to avoid case-sensitive e-mail matching
// asynchronous
process.nextTick(function () {
User.findOne({ 'local.email': email }, function (err, user) {
// if there are any errors, return the error
if (err) {
console.log(err)
return done(err)
}
// if no user is found, return the message
if (!user) {
console.log('No user found')
return done(null, false, req.flash('message', 'No user found'))
}
My routes.js file looks like this:
// Login
app.get('/login', function (req, res) {
console.log('login get')
res.render('pages/login', {message: req.flash('messsage')})
})
my login.ejs file looks like this:
<%if (message) {%>
<%=message%>
<%}%>
I have no idea why it isn't working?
Here comes my server.js if it is any problem related to includes:
var express = require('express')
var mongoose = require('mongoose')
var passport = require('passport')
var path = require('path')
var ejs = require('ejs') // Not used?
var fs = require('fs') // Not used?
const session = require('express-session')
const MongoStore = require('connect-mongo')(session)
// Reads .env variables for encrypted data
require('dotenv').config()
var port = process.env.PORT || 8080
var db = process.env.MONGO_URI
mongoose.connect(db) // connect to our database
var app = express()
app.set('views', './views')
app.set('view engine', 'ejs')
// GET /public/style.css etc.
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, '/public')))
var bodyParser = require('body-parser')
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded())
app.use(session({
secret: 'hakunamatata',
store: new MongoStore({
mongooseConnection: mongoose.connection,
saveUninitialized: false,
resave: false
})
}))
var flash = require('connect-flash')
app.use(flash())
var initPassport = require('./app/authentication/passport')
initPassport(passport)
app.use(passport.initialize())
app.use(passport.session()) // persistent login sessions
require('./app/routes/routes')(app, passport)
app.listen(port)
console.log('Dev port is: ' + port)
