ExpressJS - PassportJS LocalStrategy: Get current logged in user
I have an expressjs server where I'm using the Passport Local strategy. But something isn't working probably
My Login Route in login.js File
router.post('/login', passport.authenticate('local', {
successRedirect: '/v2/api/',
failureRedirect: '/v2/api/loginfailed',
failureFlash: true
}), async (req, res, next) => {
});
And I want to get the information about the current logged in user in another route (dashboard.js)
router.post('/dashboard', async (req, res) => {
try {
if (req.user) {
res.json({ user: req.user })
} else {
res.status(403).send({
message: 'Not authenticated failed'
});
}
} catch {
res.status(400).send({
message: 'Request failed'
});
throw new Error('Error')
}
});
On Execution: If I'm logging in via /login and calling the /dashboard Route, it response me only :
{
"user": {}
}
Did I missed out something or is it just not even possible what I want to do?
