Now you need to allow a new user on your site to register an account. In the res.render for the home page add a new variable to the object passed along - showRegistration: true. When you refresh your page, you should then see the registration form that was already created in your index.pug file. This form is set up to POST on /register, so create that route and have it add the user object to the database by following the logic below.

The logic of the registration route should be as follows:

  1. Register the new user
  2. Authenticate the new user
  3. Redirect to /profile

The logic of step 1 should be as follows:

  1. Query database with findOne
  2. If there is an error, call next with the error
  3. If a user is returned, redirect back to home
  4. If a user is not found and no errors occur, then insertOne into the database with the username and password. As long as no errors occur there, call next to go to step 2, authenticating the new user, which you already wrote the logic for in your POST /login route.
app.route('/register')
.post((req, res, next) => {
myDataBase.findOne({ username: req.body.username }, (err, user) => {
if (err) {
next(err);
} else if (user) {
res.redirect('/');
} else {
myDataBase.insertOne({
username: req.body.username,
password: req.body.password
},
(err, doc) => {
if (err) {
res.redirect('/');
} else {
// The inserted document is held within
// the ops property of the doc
next(null, doc.ops[0]);
}
}
)
}
})
},
passport.authenticate('local', { failureRedirect: '/' }),
(req, res, next) => {
res.redirect('/profile');
}
);

Submit your page when you think you've got it right. If you're running into errors, you can check out the project completed up to this point.

NOTE: From this point onwards, issues can arise relating to the use of the picture-in-picture browser. If you are using an online IDE which offers a preview of the app within the editor, it is recommended to open this preview in a new tab.

--hints--

You should have a /register route and display a registration form on the home page.

async (getUserInput) => {
const url = new URL("/_api/server.js", getUserInput("url"));
const res = await fetch(url);
const data = await res.text();
assert.match(
data,
/showRegistration:( |)true/gi,
'You should be passing the variable showRegistration as true to your render function for the homepage'
);
assert.match(
data,
/register[^]*post[^]*findOne[^]*username:( |)req.body.username/gi,
'You should have a route that accepts a POST request on /register that queries the db with findOne and the query being username: req.body.username'
);
}

Registering should work.

async (getUserInput) => {
const url = getUserInput('url');
const user = `freeCodeCampTester${Date.now()}`;
const xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhttp.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {
test(this);
} else {
throw new Error(`${this.status} ${this.statusText}`);
}
};
xhttp.open('POST', url + '/register', true);
xhttp.setRequestHeader('Content-type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
xhttp.send(`username=${user}&password=${user}`);
function test(xhttpRes) {
const data = xhttpRes.responseText;
assert.match(
data,
/Profile/gi,
'Register should work, and redirect successfully to the profile.'
);
}
};

Login should work.

async (getUserInput) => {
const url = getUserInput('url');
const user = `freeCodeCampTester${Date.now()}`;
const xhttpReg = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhttpReg.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {
login();
} else {
throw new Error(`${this.status} ${this.statusText}`);
}
};
xhttpReg.open('POST', url + '/register', true);
xhttpReg.setRequestHeader(
'Content-type',
'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
);
xhttpReg.send(`username=${user}&password=${user}`);
function login() {
const xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhttp.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {
test(this);
} else {
throw new Error(`${this.status} ${this.statusText}`);
}
};
xhttp.open('POST', url + '/login', true);
xhttp.setRequestHeader('Content-type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
xhttp.send(`username=${user}&password=${user}`);
}
function test(xhttpRes) {
const data = xhttpRes.responseText;
assert.match(
data,
/Profile/gi,
'Login should work if previous test was done successfully and redirect successfully to the profile.'
);
assert.match(
data,
new RegExp(user, 'g'),
'The profile should properly display the welcome to the user logged in'
);
}
};

Logout should work.

(getUserInput) =>
$.ajax({
url: getUserInput('url') + '/logout',
type: 'GET',
xhrFields: { withCredentials: true }
}).then(
(data) => {
assert.match(data, /Home/gi, 'Logout should redirect to home');
},
(xhr) => {
throw new Error(xhr.statusText);
}
);

Profile should no longer work after logout.

(getUserInput) =>
$.ajax({
url: getUserInput('url') + '/profile',
type: 'GET',
crossDomain: true,
xhrFields: { withCredentials: true }
}).then(
(data) => {
assert.match(
data,
/Home/gi,
'Profile should redirect to home when we are logged out now again'
);
},
(xhr) => {
throw new Error(xhr.statusText);
}
);
