Express Validator for Signup Form

Import check and body from express-validator/check
const { check, body } = require('express-validator/check');
This is the route for signup POST
router.post('/signup',
[
check('email')
.isEmail().withMessage('Please enter a valid email.')
.custom((value, { req }) => {
return User.findOne({
email: value
}).then(user => {
if (user) {
return Promise.reject('This email is already registered. Try logging in!');
}
});
})
.normalizeEmail(),
body('password', '')
.isLength({min: 6}).withMessage('Password must be of at least 6 characters.')
.isAlphanumeric().withMessage('Only letters and digits are allowed in password.')
.trim(),
body('confirmPassword')
.trim()
.custom((value, { req }) => {
if (value === req.body.password) {
return true;
} else {
throw new Error('Password and Confirm Password do not match.');
}
}),
body('name', 'Please enter a valid name.')
.isLength({ min:3, max: 50 })
.isAlpha()
.trim()
],
authController.postSignup);

In authController import
const { validationResult } = require('express-validator/check');
Then store it in errors variable
const errors = validationResult(req);
errors has an array of errors which can be accessed in the following form and passed to frontend if required.
const validationErrors = errors.array();
Access first error in the following way
const validationFirstError = errors.array()[0].msg;
That is it. This is the way to get errors from validation middleware and display in frontend.

Python - List - Append, Count, Extend, Index, Insert, Pop, Remove, Reverse, Sort

🐍 Advance List List is widely used and it's functionalities are heavily useful. Append Adds one element at the end of the list. Syntax list1.append(value) Input l1 = [1, 2, 3] l1.append(4) l1 Output [1, 2, 3, 4] append can be used to add any datatype in a list. It can even add list inside list. Caution: Append does not return anything. It just appends the list. Count .count(value) counts the number of occurrences of an element in the list. Syntax list1.count(value) Input l1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 3] l1.count(3) Output 2 It returns 0 if the value is not found in the list. Extend .count(value) counts the number of occurrences of an element in the list. Syntax list1.extend(list) Input l1 = [1, 2, 3] l1.extend([4, 5]) Output [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] If we use append, entire list will be added to the first list like one element. Extend, i nstead of considering a list as one element, it joins the two lists one after other. Append works in the following way. Input l1 = [1, 2, 3] l1.append([4, 5]) Output...

Difference between .exec() and .execPopulate() in Mongoose?

Here I answer what is the difference between .exec() and .execPopulate() in Mongoose? .exec() is used with a query while .execPopulate() is used with a document Syntax for .exec() is as follows: Model.query() . populate ( 'field' ) . exec () // returns promise . then ( function ( document ) { console . log ( document ); }); Syntax for .execPopulate() is as follows: fetchedDocument . populate ( 'field' ) . execPopulate () // returns promise . then ( function ( document ) { console . log ( document ); }); When working with individual document use .execPopulate(), for model query use .exec(). Both returns a promise. One can do without .exec() or .execPopulate() but then has to pass a callback in populate.

Resolve: Uncaught TypeError: firebase.database is not a function

If you are getting the error: Uncaught TypeError: firebase.database is not a function Resolve it by including firebase-database.js in your html page as follows: <!-- The core Firebase JS SDK is always required and must be listed first --> <script defer src = "https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/6.2.4/firebase-app.js" ></script> <script defer src = "https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/3.1.0/firebase-database.js" ></script> That is it. Let me know if this was helpful.
