CodePudding user response：

This is how you do it.

route.js

const router = require("express").Router();
const adminCtrl = require("./adminCtrl");

router.post("/login", adminCtrl.adminLogin);

adminCtrl.js

exports.adminLogin = (req, res,next) => {

}

CodePudding user response：

Can you please elaborate more on the things you are doing with the resetPassword function? or before it.

The error

    `Cast to ObjectId failed for value "resetPassword"`

is a mongoose error that occurs when we try to find a "_id" in mongo using an invalid string.
