How to login user in NodeJs?

Compare the user entered password against the password that you have saved in database (hashed version). If they both match, you can login user.

// routes/auth
router.post("/login", auth.login);

// controllers/auth
export const login = async (req, res) => {
  try {
    const { email, password } = req.body;
    // 1. find user by email
    const user = await User.findOne({ email });
    if (!user) {
      return res.json({ error: "Please register first" });
    }
    // 2. compare password
    const match = await comparePassword(password, user.password);
    if (!match) {
      return res.json({
        error: "Wrong password",
      });
    }
    // 3. create jwt tokens
    const token = jwt.sign({ _id: user._id }, config.JWT_SECRET, {
      expiresIn: "1d",
    });
    const refreshToken = jwt.sign({ _id: user._id }, config.JWT_SECRET, {
      expiresIn: "30d",
    });
    // 4. send user and token as response excluding password
    user.password = undefined;
    user.resetCode = undefined;

    res.json({
      user,
      token,
      refreshToken,
    });
  } catch (err) {
    console.log(err);
    res.json({ error: "Something went wrong. Try again." });
  }
};
