Adding config and passport files

As mentioned earlier, let's create a config file:

1. Inside server/config, create a file called config.js and place the following code in it:

         // Database URL 
         module.exports = { 
             // Connect with MongoDB on local machine 
             'url' : 'mongodb://localhost/mvc-app' 
         }; 
   

2. Create a new file on server/config and name it passport.js. Add the following content:

         // load passport module 
         var LocalStrategy    = require('passport-local').Strategy; 
         // load up the user model 
         var User = require('../models/users'); 
    
         module.exports = function(passport) { 
             // passport init setup 
             // serialize the user for the session 
             passport.serializeUser(function(user, done) { 
                 done(null, user.id); 
             }); 
             //       deserialize the user 
             passport.deserializeUser(function(id, done) { 
                 User.findById(id, function(err, user) { 
                     done(err, user); 
                 }); 
             }); 
             // using local strategy 
             passport.use('local-login', new LocalStrategy({ 
                 // change default username and password, to email 
                 //and password 
                 usernameField : 'email', 
                 passwordField : 'password', 
                 passReqToCallback : true 
             }, 
             function(req, email, password, done) { 
                 if (email) 
                 // format to lower-case 
                 email = email.toLowerCase(); 
                 // process asynchronous 
                 process.nextTick(function() { 
                     User.findOne({ 'local.email' :  email }, 
                      function(err, user)
                   { 
                     // if errors 
                    if (err) 
                      return done(err); 
                    // check errors and bring the messages 
                    if (!user) 
                      return done(null, false, req.flash('loginMessage',
                      'No user found.')); 
                   if (!user.validPassword(password)) 
                     return done(null, false, req.flash('loginMessage',
                     'Wohh! Wrong password.')); 
                   // everything ok, get user 
                   else 
                     return done(null, user); 
                   }); 
                 }); 
              })); 
             // Signup local strategy 
             passport.use('local-signup', new LocalStrategy({ 
                 // change default username and password, to email and 
                //  password 
                 usernameField : 'email', 
                 passwordField : 'password', 
                 passReqToCallback : true 
             }, 
             function(req, email, password, done) { 
                 if (email) 
                 // format to lower-case 
                 email = email.toLowerCase(); 
                 // asynchronous 
                 process.nextTick(function() { 
                     // if the user is not already logged in: 
                     if (!req.user) { 
                         User.findOne({ 'local.email' :  email },
                          function(err,user) { 
                     // if errors 
                     if (err) 
                       return done(err); 
                     // check email 
                     if (user) { 
                       return done(null, false, req.flash('signupMessage',
                        'Wohh! the email is already taken.')); 
                     }
                     else { 
                       // create the user 
                         var newUser = new User(); 
                         // Get user name from req.body 
                         newUser.local.name = req.body.name; 
                         newUser.local.email = email; 
                         newUser.local.password =
                          newUser.generateHash(password); 
                         // save data 
                        newUser.save(function(err) { 
                      if (err) 
                        throw err; 
                        return done(null, newUser); 
                       }); 
                      } 
                   }); 
                  } else { 
                    return done(null, req.user); 
                  }         }); 
             })); 
         }; 
   

   Note that in the fourth line, we are importing a file called models; we will create this file using Mongoose.
