Call the function schema()
You can either call the function directly which will use this default schema. You can also pass your own custom schema as an argument to the function so that you can use a custom schema
This is the default schema:
// Importing dependencies
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
// Defining post schema
const userSchema = new mongoose.Schema(
{
name: {
type: String,
required: true,
min: 6,
max: 12,
},
email: {
type: String,
required: true,
min: 6,
max: 32,
},
password: {
type: String,
required: true,
min: 6,
max: 124,
},
date: {
type: Date,
default: Date.now,
},
},
{ collection: "users" }
);
module.exports = mongoose.model("User", userSchema);
auth
is a Middleware, which can be passed on to your other routes in order to make it private. This will be the middleware code running in the background
const token = req.header("token");
if (!token) return res.status(401).json({ message: "Auth Error" });
try {
const decoded = jwt.verify(token, process.env.PRIVATE_KEY);
req.user = decoded.user;
next();
} catch (err) {
console.log(err);
res.status(500).send({ message: "Invalid Token" });
}
