I am logging in a user with passport local:
// route to log in
app.post('/login', passport.authenticate('local-login'), function(req, res) {
res.send(req.user);
});
This will only work in the case of success, i.e. when req.user is defined. How do I check for an error in the request? Essentially I want to take the error that was pulled from my passport authentication code in the done() call and send that back to the client to display the proper error message:
passport.use('local-login', new LocalStrategy({
username : 'email',
password : 'password',
passReqToCallback : true
},
function(req, email, password, done) {
console.log('logging in user: ' + email);
// find a user whose email is the same as the forms email
// we are checking to see if the user trying to login already exists
Landlord.findOne({ 'local.email' : email }, function(err, user) {
if (err) return done(err);
if (!user) return done(null, false, { message: 'Incorrect username.' });
if (!user.validPassword(password)) {
console.log('wrong pw');
return done(null, false, { message: 'Incorrect password.' });
}
return done(null, user);
});
}));
