Passport returns “no username was given” when “usernameField” is set to “email”












0














I'm trying to use passport-local-mongoose for user authentication in an express app, but I want to use email instead of username so after some research I found that passport provides a way to do that by doing something like this:






passport.use(new LocalStrategy({
usernameField: 'email',
passwordField: 'password'
},
function(username, password, done) {
User.findOne({ username: username }, function(err, user) {
if (err) { return done(err); }
if (!user) {
return done(null, false, { message: 'Incorrect email.' });
}
if (!user.validPassword(password)) {
return done(null, false, { message: 'Incorrect password.' });
}
return done(null, user);
});
}
));
passport.use(LocalStrategy);
User.authenticate();
passport.serializeUser(User.serializeUser());
passport.deserializeUser(User.deserializeUser());





But I'm still getting the "no username was given" error and it won't save the user to the database.

  • Are you sending the credentials in parameters called 'email' and 'password' in the body of your request?

  • Yes the inputs in the form have names of "email" and "password".
