req.user = []

[GabrielLeonte]

I have this code: `// load all the things we need const passport = require('passport'); const LocalStrategy = require('passport-local').Strategy; const fs = require('fs'); var sqlite3 = require('sqlite3').verbose(); const bcrypt = require('bcrypt-nodejs'); const db = require('./database'); const settings = require('./settings'); var database; database = new sqlite3.Database(settings.dbName);

//Check if database exists or not. If it not exist it will create one.

if (fs.existsSync(settings.dbName)) {} else { db.Init();

}

// expose this function to our app using module.exports module.exports = function (passport) {

// =========================================================================
// passport session setup ==================================================
// =========================================================================
// required for persistent login sessions
// passport needs ability to serialize and unserialize users out of session
passport.serializeUser(function (user, done) {
    done(null, user);
});

// used to deserialize the user
passport.deserializeUser(function (id, done) {
    database.all("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ? ", [id], function (err, rows) {

                return Math.floor(Math.random() * Math.floor(max));
            }
            // find a user whose email is the same as the forms email

                    var newUserMysql = {
                        username: username,
                        email: req.body.email,
                        id: Math.floor(new Date() / 1000) + getRandomInt(Math.floor(new Date() / 1000)),

                // all is well, return successful user
                return done(null, rows[0]);
            });
        })
);

};`

When i log in and try to get req.user.username or id i get in console.log that [] Some help please?

[GabrielLeonte]

app.post('/login', passport.authenticate('local-login', { successRedirect: '/dashboard', // redirect to the secure profile section failureRedirect: '/login' // redirect back to the signup page if there is an error }), function (req, res) { console.log("hello"); if (req.body.remember) { req.session.cookie.maxAge = 1000 60 3; } else { req.session.cookie.expires = false; } res.redirect('/'); }); app.get('/dashboard', isLoggedIn, async function (req, res) {

    // render the page and pass in any flash data if it exists
    res.render('dashboard', {
        user: req.user
    });
})

And this is from routes

Solved. passport.serializeUser(function (user, done) { done(null, user.id); });
