this error originated either by throwing inside of an async function without a catch block, or by re-CodePudding

I am getting an error while i try to create an user. userValidation is not a function at exports.createUser this is a function in the validation.js file which it takes a parameter data body-VALUES and then to validate each input of the body. but i don't know why i am getting this error.

here is the callback function for the post request /create-user

The requiring modules

    const expressValidator = require('express-validator');
const bycrypt = require('bcryptjs');

const bodyparser = require("body-parser"); //requiring the body parser     

const passport = require('passport');

const flash = require('express-session');

//import the validation file 

const userValidation = require('./validation');

exports.createUser = async(req, res, next) => {

console.log('Post CREATE User /create-user');

//validation the user 
const { error } = userValidation(req.body);

//if the req.body didn't pass the vaildation part 
if (error) {
    return res.status(400).send(error.details[0].message);
}

//one of the solutions

  try {
    //checking if the user is already exist 

    const userExist = await userSchema.findOne({ username: req.body.username });

    if (userExist) return res.status(400).send('UserName Already Exist');
} catch (error) {
    console.log(error);
}

// the main code //checking if the user is already exist

   // const userExist = await userSchema.findOne({ username: req.body.username });

  //  if (userExist) return res.status(400).send('UserName Already Exist');

//Hashing The Password


const salt = await bycrypt.genSalt(10);

const hashedPassword = await bycrypt.hash(req.body.password, salt);


// creating a new user from the schema 

const user = new userSchema({
    username: req.body.username,

    password: req.body.hashedPassword
})

// saving the user inside the db

user
    .save()
    .then(data => {
        res.redirect('/halalMunchies/all-employees');
    })
    .catch(err => {
        res.status(500).send({
            message: err.message || "Some error occured while creating a create operation"
        });
    });

};

the validation file which it exist at the same folder with the call back function, this to validate user's input

 //validation

const joi = require('@hapi/joi');

//creating user Schema validation 

const userValidation = (data) => {

    const schema = {

        username: joi.string().min(6).required(),

        password: joi.string().min(6).required()

    };

    return joi.validate(data, schema);

};

//creating login Schema validation 

const loginValidation = (data) => {

    const schema = {

        username: joi.string().min(6).required(),

        password: joi.string().min(6).required()

    };

    return joi.validate(data, schema);

};

//export

module.exports.userValidation = userValidation;
module.exports.loginValidation = loginValidation;

CodePudding user response：

This:

const userValidation = require('./validation');

is not correct. According to your validation file, it would need to be this:

const userValidation = require('./validation').userValidation;

or this:

const { userValidation } = require('./validation');
