I am trying to create a method in my credentials service file that needs to access the method from another class called CredentialsDao like so:

disableOneTimeCredentials() {
  const emailAndOneTimeToken = CredentialsDao.findOneTimeTokenCredentialsByEmail()
}

This is whats generating that error:

The credentials dao file looks like so:

export class CredentialsDao {
  constructor() {
     this.findOneTimeTokenCredentialsByEmail = this.findOneTimeTokenCredentialsByEmail.bind(this)
  }

  async findOneTimeTokenCredentialsByEmail(email: string): Promise<ICredential> {
    return this.Model.findOne({
      email: email,
      credentialType: CredentialType.oneTimeToken,
      $or: [
        {
          disabledOn: null
        },
        // {
        //   disabledOn: {
        //     $exists: false  // hangs or return nothing... why?
        //   }
        // },
        {
          disabledOn: {
            $exists: true,
            $ne: null,
            $gt: new Date()
          }
        }
      ]
    })
  }
}

And yes I did import the file.

CodePudding user response：

You are trying to access the static members.

CredentialsDao.findOneTimeTokenCredentialsByEmail();

but the method is not marked as static

async findOneTimeTokenCredentialsByEmail(email: string): Promise<ICredential>

// static modifier
static async findOneTimeTokenCredentialsByEmail(email: string): Promise<ICredential>

Don't think you will be able to use this and reference non-static properties within the static method.

Perhaps an oversight, but will work if you create a new instance:

const service = new CredentialsDao();
service.findOneTimeTokenCredentialsByEmail('[email protected]');
