Adding Sign Up
So far, only users created with the create-user
script can log in and publish stories. In this section you will add a new API endpoint for users to sign up with the registration page.
API endpoint | Method | Description |
---|---|---|
/api/auth/signup | POST | Registers a new user. An email and a password are expected in the request body. |
Open the auth.controller.ts
file and add a new route.
import { Context, hashPassword, HttpResponseNoContent, HttpResponseOK, HttpResponseUnauthorized, Post, Session, ValidateBody, verifyPassword } from '@foal/core';
import { User } from '../../entities';
const credentialsSchema = {
// ...
};
export class AuthController {
// login...
// logout...
@Post('/signup')
@ValidateBody(credentialsSchema)
async signup(ctx: Context<User|undefined, Session>) {
const email = ctx.request.body.email;
const password = ctx.request.body.password;
const user = new User();
user.email = email;
user.avatar = '';
user.name = 'Unknown';
user.password = await hashPassword(password);
await user.save();
ctx.session.setUser(user);
ctx.user = user;
return new HttpResponseOK({
id: user.id,
name: user.name,
});
}
}
If you go the sign up page, you should now be able to register as a new user.
