Step 4: Add password

Let's add a password field to the User model.

password: {
  type: String,
  required: true,
}

We can put more restrictions here like a minimum length. However, we will leave it at that. In fact, we should not store the password in the database. It is not a good practice! Instead, we should encode the password and store the code. We will explore this option shortly!

Let's upate the User.test.js as follows:

• Everywhere that we call User.create, we must pass a password to it! Example:

  const name = faker.name.fullName();
  const email = faker.internet.email();
  const password = faker.internet.password();
  const user = await User.create({ name, email, password });
  

• We need tests for cases where the password is null, undefined, empty, etc. Example:

  it("test password is null", async () => {
    try {
      const name = faker.name.fullName();
      const email = faker.internet.email();
      const password = null;
      await User.create({ name, email, password });
    } catch (err) {
      expect(err).toBeDefined();
    }
  });
