Solution : Implement the Serialization of a Passport User

You need to add a secret from a padlock icon present on the top left side. Add secret as below :

Summary

KEY : MONGO_URI

PASSWORD : mongodb+srv://Yb:1360@freecodecamp.80rlljl.mongodb.net/ORG?retryWrites=true&w=majority

server.js

'use strict';
require('dotenv').config();
const express = require('express');
const myDB = require('./connection');
const fccTesting = require('./freeCodeCamp/fcctesting.js');
const session = require('express-session');
const passport = require('passport');
const { ObjectID } = require('mongodb');
const LocalStrategy = require('passport-local');

const app = express();

app.set('view engine', 'pug');
app.set('views', './views/pug');

app.use(session({
  secret: process.env.SESSION_SECRET,
  resave: true,
  saveUninitialized: true,
  cookie: { secure: false }
}));

app.use(passport.initialize());
app.use(passport.session());

fccTesting(app); // For fCC testing purposes
app.use('/public', express.static(process.cwd() + '/public'));
app.use(express.json());
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: true }));

myDB(async client => {
  const myDataBase = await client.db('database').collection('users');

  app.route('/').get((req, res) => {
    res.render('index', {
      title: 'Connected to Database',
      message: 'Please log in'
    });
  });

  passport.use(new LocalStrategy((username, password, done) => {
    myDataBase.findOne({ username: username }, (err, user) => {
      console.log(`User ${username} attempted to log in.`);
      if (err) { return done(err); }
      if (!user) { return done(null, false); }
      if (password !== user.password) { return done(null, false); }
      return done(null, user);
    });
  }));

  passport.serializeUser((user, done) => {
    done(null, user._id);
  });
  
  passport.deserializeUser((id, done) => {
    myDataBase.findOne({ _id: new ObjectID(id) }, (err, doc) => {
      done(null, doc);
    });
  });

}).catch(e => {
  app.route('/').get((req, res) => {
    res.render('index', { title: e, message: 'Unable to connect to database' });
  });
});
  
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;
app.listen(PORT, () => {
  console.log(`Listening on port ${PORT}`);
});

Also, provide all of the necessary code to pass the challenge.

Also, when you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor ( </> ) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (’).
