I'm trying to implement passport-local but I keep getting this error when I test it with Postman: Cannot read property 'username' of undefined
Here is my model, User.js:
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const {Schema} = mongoose;
const passportLocalMongoose = require('passport-local-mongoose');
const User = new Schema({
username: String,
email: String,
password: String,
firstName: String,
lastName: String
});
User.plugin(passportLocalMongoose);
module.exports = mongoose.model('User', User);Routes: routes/authRoutes.js:
const express = require('express');
const passport = require('passport');
const User = require('../models/User.js');
module.exports = app => {
// POST to /register
app.post('/api/register', (req, res) => {
// Create a user object to save, using values from incoming JSON
const newUser = new User({
username: req.body.username,
firstName: req.body.firstName,
lastName: req.body.lastName,
email: req.body.email,
});
// Save, via passport's "register" method, the user
User.register(newUser, req.body.password, (err, user) => {
// If there's a problem, send back a JSON object with the error
if (err) {
return res.send(JSON.stringify({ error: err }));
}
// Otherwise, for now, send back a JSON object with the new user's info
return res.send(JSON.stringify(user));
});
});
}index.js:
const express = require('express');
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const passportLocalMongoose = require('passport-local-mongoose');
const keys = require('./config/keys');
const session = require('express-session');
const passport = require('passport');
const LocalStrategy = require('passport-local').Strategy;
const MongoStore = require('connect-mongo')(session);
mongoose.connect(keys.mongoURI);
const app = express();
app.use(require('express-session')({
secret: 'secretsecret',
resave: false,
saveUninitialized: false
}));
app.use(passport.initialize());
app.use(passport.session());
require('./routes/authRoutes')(app);
// Configure Passport
const User = require('./models/User');
passport.use(new LocalStrategy(User.authenticate()));
passport.serializeUser(User.serializeUser());
passport.deserializeUser(User.deserializeUser());
require('./routes/authRoutes')(app);
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 5000;
app.listen(PORT);And my package.json:
{

"passport-local": "^1.0.0",
"passport-local-mongoose": "^4.2.1"
}
}I already checked other similar questions, but their solutions are not my solutions, most of them didn't initialize Passport.
edit: Postman logs:
POST http://localhost:5000/api/register
{
"username": "Test",
"email": "testing@test.com",
"password": "password",
"firstName": "Testt",
"lastName": "Teststs"
}
