Right now I'm hashing the password on the route function and providing the hash when creating the user but I know there's a way to have this be handled through Sequelize itself. I have searched around but every answer seems to be outdated or the methods never got called. Here is my config:
server/models/User.js
module.exports = (sequelize, type) => { const User = sequelize.define( "User", { user_id: { type: type.INTEGER, allowNull: false, primaryKey: true, autoIncrement: true }, name: { type: type.STRING, allowNull: false }, email: { type: type.STRING, allowNull: false }, password: { type: type.STRING, allowNull: false }, reg_date: { type: type.DATEONLY, allowNull: false, defaultValue: sequelize.fn("now") } }, { timestamps: false } ); return User; }; server/config/sequelize.js
const Sequelize = require("sequelize"); const sequelize = new Sequelize(process.env.CLEARDB_DATABASE_URL); sequelize .authenticate() .then(() => { console.log("Connection has been established successfully."); }) .catch(err => { console.error("Unable to connect to the database:", err); }); const UserModel = require("../models/User"); const User = UserModel(sequelize, Sequelize); module.exports = User; This is how I'm handling hashing right now:
server/routes/register.js
User.findOne({ where: { email: email } }).then(user => { if (!user) { bcrypt.hash(password, 10, (err, hash) => { if (err) throw err; User.create({ name: req.body.name, email: email, password: hash }) .then(user => { return user; }) .catch(err => console.log(err)); }); } });
