-------Testing withAuth-------------

This isn't working - user is passed to withAuth HOC on the serve not index.js page on the client right?

server.get('/', async (req, res) => { const user = await User.findOne({ slug: 'team-builder-book' }); app.render(req, res, '/', { user }); });

---------this below is working: -------------------- server.get('/', (req, res) => { User.findOne({ slug: 'team-builder-book' }).then((user) => { req.user = user; app.render(req, res, '/'); }); });

Please change it

@olumide025 Method User.findOne returns Promise. async/await is just syntactic sugar for Promise.then. Check up this section:

Please make sure that your database is connected to your server and that database contains User MongoDB document with slug: 'team-builder-book'.

@olumide025 I ran code and you are right about

req.user = user;

Because inside withAuth:

const user = ctx.req ? ctx.req.user && ctx.req.user.toObject() : globalUser;

Since on the server, I called app.render like this:

app.render(req, res, '/', { user });

I meant to define user inside withAuth HOC using ctx.query instead of ctx.req.user:

const user = ctx.query ? ctx.query.user && ctx.query.user.toObject() : globalUser;

In Chapter 2, indeed, I defined page's user as ctx.query.user. However, in Chapter 3, I am gonna fix Express route by using req.user = user like you suggested. Thank you so much!
