Mongoose password hashing

Question

I am looking for a good way to save an Account to MongoDB using mongoose.

My problem is: The password is hashed asynchronously. A setter wont work here because it on

Answer 1

For those who are willing to use ES6+ syntax can use this -

const bcrypt = require('bcryptjs');
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const { isEmail } = require('validator');

const { Schema } = mongoose;
const SALT_WORK_FACTOR = 10;

const schema = new Schema({
  email: {
    type: String,
    required: true,
    validate: [isEmail, 'invalid email'],
    createIndexes: { unique: true },
  },
  password: { type: String, required: true },
});

schema.pre('save', async function save(next) {
  if (!this.isModified('password')) return next();
  try {
    const salt = await bcrypt.genSalt(SALT_WORK_FACTOR);
    this.password = await bcrypt.hash(this.password, salt);
    return next();
  } catch (err) {
    return next(err);
  }
});

schema.methods.validatePassword = async function validatePassword(data) {
  return bcrypt.compare(data, this.password);
};

const Model = mongoose.model('User', schema);

module.exports = Model;
