So when I fill out the form and submit, it does not redirect to profile, and throws an error "Validation has failed"
router.post('/register', function(req, res, next){
if(
req.body.email &&
req.body.name &&
req.body.favoriteBook &&
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);
}
var userData = {
email: req.body.email,
name: req.body.name,
favoriteBook: req.body.favoriteBook,
password: req.body.password
};
// use schema's `create` method to insert document into Mongo
User.create(userData, function (error, user) {
if (error) {
return next(error);
} else {
return res.redirect('/profile');
}
});
} else {
var err = new Error('All fields required.');
err.status = 400;
return next(err);
}
});

10,671 PointsIt looks like you need a space between "if" and "(req.body.password != req.body.confirmPassword) {." You also need to remove the ";" at the end of your code and it should work. I hope this helps.
