Cannot read properties node.js

I've got a problem, I wrote a code which should update my user in a db but when I try to do it in Postman I get an information that the programme can't read my property token. Could somebody help me?
My verifytoken.js code
const { response } = require('express');
const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');
const verifyToken = (req, res, next) => {
const authHeader = res.headers.token;
if(authHeader){
const token = authHeader.split(' ')[1];
jwt.verify(token, process.env.JWT_SEC, (err, user) => {
if(err) res.status(403).json("Token isn't valid");
req.user = user;
next();
})
}else{
return res.status(401).json("You are not authenticated");
}
}
const verifytokenandauth = (req, res, next) => {
verifyToken(req, res, ()=>{
if(req.user.id=== req.params.id || req.user.admin) {
next();
}else{
res.status(403).json("You are not allowed to do this");
}
})
}
module.exports = {verifyToken, verifytokenandauth}
My user.js code
const { verifytokenandauth } = require('./verifytoken');
const {User} = require('../models/user');
const router = require('express').Router();
router.put('/:id', verifytokenandauth, async (req, res) => {
if(req.body.password){
req.body.password = CryptoJs.AES.encrypt(req.body.password, process.env.PASS_SEC).toString()
}
try{
const updateduser = await User.findByIdAndUpdate(req.User.id, {
$set: req.body
},{new: true});
res.status(200).json(updateduser);
}catch(err) {res.status(500).json(err);}
});
module.exports = router
And screenshot from Postman
Thanks in advance :)

I have faced CORS policy error .No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
How to enable cors nodejs with express?
(10 answers)
Closed 10 months ago.
I have faced this problem so many time. I require all the middleware in my backend server code but it good for sometimes and then occur, after sometimes it's again running on his own and again cors policy error occur. Please give me a solution . Here is my backend code...
const express = require("express");
const { MongoClient, ServerApiVersion, ObjectId } = require("mongodb");
const cors = require("cors");
const jwt = require("jsonwebtoken");
const port = process.env.PORT || 5000;
require("dotenv").config();
const app = express();
//necessary middleware app.use(cors()); app.use(express.json());
function verifyJWT(req, res, next) {
const authHeader = req.headers.authorization;
if (!authHeader) {
return res.status(401).send({ message: "unauthorized access" });
}
const token = authHeader.split(" ")[1];
jwt.verify(token, process.env.ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET, (err, decoded) => {
if (err) {
return res.status(403).send({ message: "Forbidden access" });
}
console.log("decoded", decoded);
req.decoded = decoded;
next();
});
}
const uri = `mongodb+srv://${process.env.DB_USER}:${process.env.DB_PASS}#cluster0.nfrv0.mongodb.net/myFirstDatabase?retryWrites=true&w=majority`;
console.log(uri);
const client = new MongoClient(uri, {
useNewUrlParser: true,
useUnifiedTopology: true,
serverApi: ServerApiVersion.v1,
});
async function run() {
try {
await client.connect();
const fruitCollection = client.db("fruitsInventory").collection("fruit");
//AUTH API
app.post("/login", async (req, res) => {
const user = req.body;
const accessToken = jwt.sign(user, process.env.ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET, {
expiresIn: "1d",
});
res.send({ accessToken });
});
//get data
app.get("/inventory", async (req, res) => {
const query = {};
const cursor = fruitCollection.find(query);
const result = await cursor.toArray();
res.send(result);
});
//get inventory id
app.get("/inventory/:id", async (req, res) => {
const id = req.params.id;
const query = { _id: ObjectId(id) };
const result = await fruitCollection.findOne(query);
res.send(result);
});
//get api with filter email
app.get("/myitem", verifyJWT, async (req, res) => {
const decodeEmail = req.decoded.email;
const email = req.query.email;
if (email === decodeEmail) {
const query = { email: email };
const cursor = fruitCollection.find(query);
const result = await cursor.toArray();
res.send(result);
} else {
res.status(403).send({ message: "Forbidden Access" });
}
});
//delete api
app.delete("/myitem/:id", async (req, res) => {
const id = req.params.id;
const query = { _id: ObjectId(id) };
const result = await fruitCollection.deleteOne(query);
res.send(result);
});
//post data
app.post("/inventory", async (req, res) => {
const newItem = req.body;
const result = await fruitCollection.insertOne(newItem);
res.send(result);
});
//update data for quantity
app.put("/inventory/:id", async (req, res) => {
const id = req.params.id;
const updateQuantity = req.body;
const filter = { _id: ObjectId(id) };
const options = { upsert: true };
const updateDoc = {
$set: {
quantity: updateQuantity.quantity,
},
};
const result = await fruitCollection.updateOne(
filter,
updateDoc,
options
);
res.send(result);
});
//delete item
app.delete("/inventory/:id", async (req, res) => {
const id = req.params.id;
const query = { _id: ObjectId(id) };
const result = await fruitCollection.deleteOne(query);
res.send(result);
});
} finally {
}
}
run().catch(console.dir);
app.get("/", (req, res) => {
res.send("fruits server is running");
});
app.listen(port, () => {
console.log("server is connected on port", port);
});

You must set the header of the Axios first because CORS means that you don't have access to origin resource API, so you need to setup the header of Axios first, you can follow this resource CORS
var express = require('express')
var cors = require('cors')
var app = express()
app.use(cors())
app.get('/products/:id', function (req, res, next) {
res.json({msg: 'This is CORS-enabled for all origins!'})
})

Express.js - Middleware - not executing next()

I'm trying to execute a post function that has a next(); in the middle of the code, so i'm exporting the definition of the function from another file and trying to call it from express router. But it doesn't execute.
--EDIT
I've tried the regular definition as suggested above, but it stops when "next();" is called and returns
Cannot POST /registerUser
index.js
[...]
//Definição e Chamada de Componentes
const userLogin = require('./userControl/accessControl');
const userRegister = require('./userControl/registerControl');
[...]
var router = express.Router(); // get an instance of the express Router
//Definição das Rotas
//==============================================================================
router.post('/login', userLogin.login);
router.post('/forgotPassword', userLogin.forgotPassword);
router.post('/registerUser', function(req, res, next) {userRegister.registerUser});
app.use('/', router);
// START THE SERVER
// =============================================================================
app.set('env', 'production');
app.listen(port);
console.log('API Listening on Port ' +port+'');
registerControl.js
exports.registerUser = function(req, res, next) {
var query = "INSERT INTO [user] (name, email, phone, login, password, enabled, profile) VALUES ('example', 'example#abc.si', 'XXXXXXXXXXXX', 'ADMIN', '12345', 1, 'TEST')
global.conn.request()
.query(query)
.then(result => {
var userId = result.recordset[0].id;
console.log(userId);
if (result.rowsAffected[0] == 0) {
res.sendStatus(500);
}
else {
req.body.userId = userId;
next();
}
})
.catch(err => res.json(err));
}, function(req, res) {
var query = "INSERT INTO [user_company] (company_id, user_id) VALUES ("+req.body.companyId+", "+req.body.userId+");"
global.conn.request()
.query(query)
.then(result => {
if (result.rowsAffected[0] == 0) {
res.sendStatus(500);
}
else {
res.sendStatus(200);
}
})
.catch(err => res.json(err));
};
Thanks!

Instead of
router.post('/registerUser', function(req, res, next)
{userRegister.registerUser});
maybe try
router.post('/registerUser', userRegister.registerUser);
Just like you did in the above forgotPassword route.

isAuthenticated() in Passport js always return false

I have been browsing the forum but I am unable to find the error in my code , it always results in false and I am not able to solve it , Please help me...
Is there any other way to authenticate user instead of passport so that I can use it.I am adding more sentences as it is not allowing me to post my query,Sorry..

I have used passport and jwt library, to authenticate and maintain session for the user. There is no need to maintain user session on server side.

When index.js file has been executed successfully and listening to a port 3000, then use this URL http://localhost:3000/user/login for authentication, it will accept your username and password, then authenticate using passport and send a token to the client as response. The token can contain user data in encrypted form and have expiry time.

You need the express-session module.
server.js
// Require a possible config.js file with your configuration variables
const Config = require('./models/config.js');
// If the config module is formed as a class
const config = new Config();
const express = new('express');
const app = express();
const session = require('express-session');
const MongoStore = require('connect-mongo')(session);
const uuid = require('uuid/v4');
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
// Require your custom passport local strategy file
const passport = require('./models/sessions');
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/your_db_name', {
useNewUrlParser: true
});
// Set the session options
app.use(session({
// Use UUIDs for session IDs
genid: (req) => {
return uuid()
},
// If you want to store the session in MongoDB using mongoose
// Require your personal mon
store: new MongoStore({
mongooseConnection: mongoose.connection
}),
// Define the session secret in env variable or in config file
secret: process.env.SESSION_SECRET || config.sessionSecretKey,
resave: false,
saveUninitialized: true
}));
// Initialize the passport module
app.use(passport.initialize());
// Tell to passport to use session
app.use(passport.session());
./models/session.js
const passport = require('passport');
const LocalStrategy = require('passport-local').Strategy;
const bcrypt = require('bcrypt-nodejs');
// Your custom MongoDB connection module
const db = require('./db');
// Configure passport.js to use the local strategy
passport.use(new LocalStrategy({
usernameField: 'username'
},
(username, password, done) => {
db.User.find({
username: username // But it could use email as well
}).then(res => {
const user = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(res[0]));
if (!user) {
return done(null, false, {
message: 'Invalid credentials.\n'
});
}
if (!bcrypt.compareSync(password, user.password)) {
return done(null, false, {
message: 'Invalid credentials.\n'
});
}
return done(null, user);
}).catch(error => done(error));
}
));
// Tell passport how to serialize the user
passport.serializeUser((user, done) => {
done(null, user._id);
});
// Tell passport how to deserialize the user
passport.deserializeUser((id, done) => {
db.User.find({
_id: id
}).then(res => {
const response = typeof res !== undefined && res.length != 0 ? JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(res[0])) : null;
done(null, response)
}).catch(error => done(error, false))
});
// Export passport for external usage
module.exports = passport;
./models/db.js
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const Schema = mongoose.Schema;
const uuid = require('uuid/v4');
// Connect to MongoDB
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/your_db_name', {
useNewUrlParser: true
});
// Define the models container
let models = {};
// Prepare your user schema
const userSchema = Schema({
username: {
type: String,
required: true
},
password: {
type: String,
required: true
}
});
// Assign the user schema
models.User = mongoose.model('User', userSchema);
// Export for external usage
module.exports = models;
/*
In that way you can wrap in "models" all schemas:
const newSchema = Schema({
name: String
});
models.Newschema = mongoose.model('Newschema', newSchema);
module.exports = models;
And use it externally like:
const db = require('./models/db');
db.User.find({}).then(docs => {}).catch(err => {});
db.Newschema.find({}).then(docs => {}).catch(err => {});
Etc....
*/
./models/config.js
class Config {
constructor() {
this.sessionSecretKey = "my-awesome-secretkey";
/* And other configurations */
}
}
module.exports = Config;
/*
Externally use like:
const Config = require('./models/config');
const config = new Config();
let sessionSecretKey = config.sessionSecretKey;
*/
Then you can use the req.isAuthenticated() after the login:
// POST the username and password to '/login' router
app.post('/login', (req, res, next) => {
passport.authenticate('local', (err, user, info) => {
if (info) {
return res.send(info.message)
}
if (err) {
return next(err);
}
if (!user) {
return res.sendStatus(404); // Is a shortcut
// OR -> res.status(404).end();
// OR -> res.status(404).send('Not found'); as you like
}
req.login(user, (err) => {
if (err) return next(err);
// Store the user object retrieved from MongoDB in `req.session`
req.session.user = user;
return res.sendStatus(200); // Is a shortcut
// OR -> res.status(200).end();
// OR -> res.status(200).send('OK'); as you like
})
})(req, res, next);
});
// The logout logic
app.get('/logout', verifySession, function (req, res) {
req.session.destroy(function (err) {
req.logout();
res.redirect('/');
});
});
// Verify the session to protect private routers
function verifySession(req, res, next) {
if (req.isAuthenticated()) {
next();
} else {
// Forbidden
res.redirect('/');
// OR -> res.sendStatus(403);
// OR -> res.status(403).end();
// OR -> res.status(403).send('Forbidden'); as you like
}
}
Of course you have to run npm install with all the dependencies required defined in package.json file or manually instal with npm i express-session#latest --s for all the dependencies required: npm i module-name#latest --s.
Don't forget the
const server = app.listen(config.port || 3000, () => {
console.log(`Server running on ${server.address().port} port.`);
});
At the end of server.js file. I hope that it will be useful for you.

Why is my Express api register route not POSTing?

I am trying to make a small authentication system for a practice project I have. I am trying to send POST requests via postman to my express server(http://localhost:4000/api/register), and it's replying back "404 not found" I am following the tutorial here.
Here is my server.js:
const newpost = require('./routes/newpost');
const getposts = require('./routes/getposts');
const express = require('express');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const cors = require('cors');
const deleteposts = require('./routes/delete');
const editposts = require('./routes/editposts');
const path = require('path');
const app = express();
const webpack = require('webpack');
const webpackConfig = require('../webpack.config');
const webpackMiddleware = require('webpack-dev-middleware');
const webpackHotMiddleware = require('webpack-hot-middleware');
const passport = require('passport');
const port = 4000;
const compiler = webpack(webpackConfig);
const config = require('./config/main');
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const authRouter = require('./routes/authrouter');
const logger = require('morgan');
// db connection
mongoose.connect(config.database);
app.use(passport.initialize());
/*
app.use(webpackMiddleware(compiler, {

*/
app.use(cors());
// parse application/x-www-form-urlencoded
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
// parse application/json
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(logger('dev'));
app.use('/newpost', newpost);

}); */
app.listen(port, () => {
console.log(`Listening on port ${port}`);
});
Here is my authrouter.js. These are the routes I'm exporting into my server.js. :
const AuthenticationController = require('../controllers/authentication');
const express = require('express');
// const passportService = require('../config/passport');
/* eslint-disable */
const passport = require('passport');
// Middleware to require login/auth
// const requireAuth = passport.authenticate('jwt', { session: false });
const requireLogin = passport.authenticate('local', { session: false });
module.exports = function(app){
"use-strict";
// init route groups
const apiRoutes = express.Router();
const authRoutes = express.Router();
// auth routes
// set auth routes as subgroup/middleware to apiRoutes
apiRoutes.use('/auth', authRoutes);
// Registration routes
authRoutes.post('/register', AuthenticationController.register);
// Login route
authRoutes.post('/login', requireLogin, AuthenticationController.login);
// Set url for API group routes
app.use('/api', apiRoutes);
};
Here is my authentication.js
const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');
// const crypto = require('crypto'); used for pw resets
const User = require('../models/user');
const config = require('../config/main');
function generateToken(user) {

Here is my passport.js :
// Importing Passport; strategies; and config
const passport = require('passport');
const User = require('../models/user');
const config = require('./main');
const JwtStrategy = require('passport-jwt').Strategy;
const ExtractJwt = require('passport-jwt').ExtractJwt;
const LocalStrategy = require('passport-local');
const localOptions = { usernameField: 'email' };
// setting up the local Strategy
const localLogin = new LocalStrategy(localOptions, ((email, password, done) => {
User.findOne({ email }, (err, user) => {
if (err) { return done(err); }
if (!user) {
return done(null, false, { error: 'Your login details could not be verified. Please try again.',
});
}
user.comparePassword(password, (err, isMatch) => {
if (err) { return done(err); }
if (!isMatch) {
return done(null, false, { error: 'Your login details could not be verified. Please try again.',
});
}
return done(null, user);
});
});
}));
const jwtOptions = {
// Telling passport to check auth headers for JWT
jwtFromRequest: ExtractJwt.fromAuthHeader(),
// Telling passport where to find the secret
secretOrKey: config.secret,
};
// setting up JWT login strategy
const jwtLogin = new JwtStrategy(jwtOptions, ((payload, done) => {
User.findById(payload._id, (err, user) => {
if (err) { return done(err, false); }
if (user) {
done(null, user);
} else {
done(null, false);
}
});
}));
// allow passport to use the strategies we defined
passport.use(jwtLogin);
passport.use(localLogin);

I believe the correct post endpoint would be api/auth/register
