Support for multiple user types by Passport-local mongoose node.js

Question

I wanted two types of users logging in (User, Client). How exactly can I create localStrategies, serialize and deserialize user for both types in my app.js I have two separa

Answer 1

you need to create two strategy and edit your serialize and deserialize function for support multiple formats When you call authenticate() you can specify startegy name

for example In middleware

exports.authenticateUserA = function (req, res, next) {
    console.log('authenticateA', req.body.hostname)
    passport.authenticate('loginA', {failureRedirect: '/login-fail',successRedirect: "/home"}, function (err, player, info) {}})

In passport-config.js

  passport.serializeUser(function (user, done) {
     console.log('deserialize user ')
     if (typeof user.mac_address == 'undefined') {

      user.data_type = 'userTypeA'
      done(null, user);
     } else{
        user.data_type = 'userTypeB'
        done(null, user);
    }

    });
