how to use Promise with express in node.js?
router.post('/Registration', function(req, res) {
return User
.findOne({ username: req.body.username })
.then((user) => {
if (user) {
return console.log({ msg:"Username already been taken" });
}
return console.log({ msg: "Username available." });
})
.catch((err)=>{
return console.error(err);
});
});
you can write a clean code like this. Promise is a global variable available you don't need to require it.
Try the following, and after please read the following document https://www.promisejs.org/ to understand how the promises work.
var Promise = require('promise');
router.post('/Registration',function(req,res,next) {
function username() {
console.log("agyaaa");
return new Promise(function(resolve,reject) {
User.findOne({"username":req.body.username}, function(err,user) {
if (err) {
reject(err)
} else {
console.log("yaha b agyaaa");
var errorsArr = [];
errorsArr.push({"msg":"Username already been taken."});
resolve(errorsArr);
}
});
});
}
username().then(function(data) {
console.log(data);
next();
});
});
You can have other errors also (or things that shouldn't be done that way). I'm only showing you the basic use of a Promise.
