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);
}
};
I added to my index.js the submit handler:
if (resetPasswordForm) {
resetPasswordForm.addEventListener('submit', e => {
e.preventDefault();
const password = document.getElementById('password').value;
const passwordValidation = document.getElementById('passwordValidation').value;
resetPassword(password, passwordValidation);
})
};
I have the same error that persisted, even I tried to walk through some tutorials and a bunch of youtube videos, I end up with the same behavior, to focus more on the error I added a screenshot of my console whenever I hit the ‘reset password’ button “i.imgur.com/dlUGWJT.png”, seems to be TypeError: “x” is (not) “y” error.
please help me!
