18,154 PointsGetting all fields required error handler even when it is my two passwords not being the same causing the error
Here's my code so far, from what I can see it is ok but might be missing something obvious
router.post('/register', function(req, res, next){ if( req.body.email && req.body.name && req.body.favouriteBook && req.body.password && req.body.confirmPassword){
// confirm that user typed same password twice
if(req.body.password !== req.body.confirmPassword){
var err = new Error('Passwords do not match.');
err.status = 400;
return next(err);
}
} else {
var err = new Error('All fields required.');
err.status = 400;
return next(err);
}
})

//creating the object that we are going to insert into mongo
const userData = {

};
user.create(userData,function(error,user){
if(error){
return next(error);
}else{
req.session.userId = user._id;
return res.redirect('/profile');
}
});
}else{
const err = new Error('All fields required');
err.status = 400;
return next(err);
}
});

18,154 PointsThanks man, seems to have fixed the issue. Think I missed brackets on the if password statement now that I look at it
