I am getting the following error in nodejs and expressjs, the code is given below
module.exports.forgotPassword = async (req, res) => {
try {
const email = req.body.email;
const user = await User.findOne({ email: email });
console.log(user);
if (user === null) throw new Error("Please register first");
if (user !== null) {
const id = user[0]._id.toHexString();
const token = crypto.randomBytes(64).toString("hex");
let link = `${id}/${token}`;
res.status(200).send(link);
}
} catch (err) {
res.status(401).send({ error: err.message });
}
};

try using
if (user === undefined) throw new Error("Please register first");
CodePudding user response:
The mongo findOne command returns only one single document it does not returns an array . so you can access the id like
const id = user._id.toHexString();
