I am trying to have it so when a user signs up to my site that they get an email saying that they need to verify their email to use the site. It currently sends the email with the token just fine but when I go to the confirmation link it fails with a status 404.
Route
app.post('/confirmation/:token',
users.confirmationPost);
Require controller
var users = require('../controllers/users-controller');
confirmationPost
exports.confirmationPost = function (req, res, next) {
req.assert('email', 'Email is not valid').isEmail();
req.assert('email', 'Email cannot be blank').notEmpty();
req.assert('token', 'Token cannot be blank').notEmpty();
req.sanitize('email').normalizeEmail({ remove_dots: false });
// Check for validation errors
var errors = req.validationErrors();
if (errors) return res.status(400).send(errors);
// Find a matching token
Token.findOne({ token: req.body.token }, function (err, token) {
if(err) throw err;
if (!token) return res.status(400).send({ type: 'not-verified', msg: 'We were unable to find a valid token. Your token my have expired.' });
// If we found a token, find a matching user
User.findOne({ _id: token._userId }, function (err, user) {
if(err) throw err;
if (!user) return res.status(400).send({ msg: 'We were unable to find a user for this token.' });
if (user.isVerified) return res.status(400).send({ type: 'already-verified', msg: 'This user has already been verified.' });
// Verify and save the user
user.isVerified = true;
user.save(function (err) {
if (err) { return res.status(500).send({ msg: err.message }); }
res.status(200).send("The account has been verified. Please log in.");
});
});
});
};
Passport signup
passport.use('signup', new LocalStrategy({
usernameField: 'email',
passReqToCallback : true
},
function(req, email, password, done) {
var findOrCreateUser = function(){
User.findOne({ email: req.body.email }, function(err, existingUser) {
if(err){
console.log(err);
}
if (existingUser) {
req.flash('form', {
email: req.body.email
});
return done(null, false, req.flash('error', 'An account with that email address already exists.'));
}
// edit this portion to accept other properties when creating a user.
var user = new User({
email: req.body.email,
password: req.body.password // user schema pre save task hashes this password
});
user.save(function(err) {
if (err) return done(err, false, req.flash('error', 'Error saving user.'));
var token = new Token({ _userId: user._id, token: crypto.randomBytes(16).toString('hex') });
token.save(function (err) {
if (err) return done(null, false, req.flash('error', err.message));
// Send the email
var message = 'Hello,\n\n' + 'Please verify your account by clicking the link: \nhttp:\/\/' + req.headers.host + '\/confirmation\/' + token.token + '.\n';
sendEmail('"Phantom Asset Management" noreply@phantomam.com', user.email, 'Account Verification Token', message);
});
var time = 14 * 24 * 3600000;
req.session.cookie.maxAge = time; //2 weeks
req.session.cookie.expires = new Date(Date.now() + time);
req.session.touch();
return done(null, user, req.flash('success', 'A verification email has been sent to ' + user.email + '.'));
});
});
};
process.nextTick(findOrCreateUser);
})
);
When I go to /confirmation/:token I get my error 404 page and nothing in my console. Only thing I see there is my debugger showing an error 404 for that route.
