how to fetch reset password api in front-end Node js-CodePudding

I'm student in web development. Currently, I'm trying to build a basic project, where I'm stack in implementing reset password feature, I really need help in how fetching reset password API in front-end using Axios. In short, the reset password API that I implemented works fine on Postman, but whenever I tried to pass in front-end and fetch the API in order to enable users to enter their new password and passwordValidation I kinda lost, below I share my code snippets:

backend code reset password

resetPassword = async(req, res) => {
  try {
    // Step 1: Get user based on the token
    const validateHashedToken = crypto
                              .createHash('sha256')
                              .update(req.params.token)
                              .digest('hex');

    const user = await User.findOne(
                { 
                  passwordResetToken: validateHashedToken,
                  passwordResetExpires: { $gt: Date.now() }
                });
    
    user.password = req.body.password;
    user.passwordValidation = req.body.passwordValidation;
    user.passwordResetToken = undefined;
    user.passwordResetExpires = undefined;
    await user.save();

    // Step 3: Update the "passwordChangedAt" date
    // Step 4: Log the user in and send a JWT
    genResJWT(user, 200, res);

  } catch (error) {
    console.log('error', error)
  }
};

Routes:

router
  .route('/api/v1/users/resetpassword/:token')
  .get(viewsController.getResetPasswordUrl)
  .patch(viewsController.resetpassword);

controllers

exports.getResetPasswordUrl = async(req, res) => {
  try {
    const { token } = req.params.token;
    const validToken = await User.findOne(
      { 
        passwordResetToken: token
      }
    );

    res.status(200).render('resetPassword',
      {
    title: 'resetpassword',
    token: validToken
      });
  } catch (error) {
    console.log(error);
  }
};

exports.resetpassword = (req, res) => {
  // I'm stack here and I really need help
  res.status(200).render('profile', {
    title: 'reset password successfuly'
  });
};

front-end fetching api code:

import axios from 'axios';

export const resetPassword = async (password, passwordValidation) => {
  try {
    const res = await axios({
      method: 'PATCH',
      url:
        `http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/v1/users/resetpassword/:token`,
      data: {
        password,
        passwordValidation
      }
    });

    if (res.data.status === 'success') {
      window.setTimeout(() => {
    location.replace('/me');
      }, 500);
    }
  } catch (error) {
    console.log('error', error.response.data.message);
  }
};

CodePudding user response：

On the front end, you are making a request to http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/v1/users/resetpassword/:token. Since token is a route parameter, you are directly passing in the string ":token" and not the actual value of the token.

Try this instead:

const res = await axios({
    method: 'PATCH',
    url:
        `http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/v1/users/resetpassword/${token}`,
    data: {
        password,
        passwordValidation
    }
  });

where token is a variable you need to define.

Assuming that you are using express, here is some documentation about parameter routing: https://expressjs.com/en/guide/routing.html#route-parameters
