Example of using bcrypt with mongoose middleware to enforce password hashing with bcrypt on save.

mongoose.model('User', UserSchema);

ohhh, that's my ignorance. I didn't notice that. I am just learning nodejs

thank you for a prompt response

@exlane, here is the code with async/await

UserSchema.pre('save', async function(next) {                                                                                                                                        
    if(this.password) {                                                                                                                                                        
        var salt = await bcrypt.genSaltSync(10)                                                                                                                                     
        this.password  = await bcrypt.hashSync(this.password, salt)                                                                                                                
    }                                                                                                                                                                          
    next()                                                                                                                                                                     
}) 

All this code is incorrect... you must test if the password was modified before hashing it, or you will double hash it...

userSchema.pre('save', async function(next){

if(this.isModified('password')) this.password = await bcrypt.hash(this.password, 12)

next()

})

myoussef3030 thanks for the great snippet works perfectly.

userSchema.pre('save', async function (next) {
const user = this;
if (user.isModified('password')) {
user.password = await bcrypt.hash(user.password, 8)
}
next()
})
for a readability we can also user variable like this

For anybody who might need this for readability and clarity, better to use "isModified" so that when the password is updated, we don't have to re-hash again multiple times.

userSchema.pre("save", async function(next){
if(this.isModified("password")){
this.password = await bcrypt.hash(this.password, 8)
}
next();
});
