How to forgot password using Mern stack with cloudinary cloud storage?

Introduction
In this blog post, we'll walk through the process of setting up a "Forgot Password" feature using the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React, Node.js) with Next.js. We'll cover everything from setting up the backend with Node.js and Express to building the frontend with Next.js. By the end, you'll have a comprehensive understanding of how to implement a secure and user-friendly password reset functionality.

Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of JavaScript and React.
Understanding of Node.js and Express.js.
Familiarity with MongoDB and Mongoose.
Experience with Next.js.
Step 1: Setting Up the Backend
1.1. Initialize the Node.js Project
Create a new directory for your project and initialize a Node.js project:

mkdir mern-password-reset
cd mern-password-reset
npm init -y

Copy after login

1.2. Install Dependencies
Install the necessary dependencies:

npm install express mongoose bcryptjs jsonwebtoken nodemailer dotenv

Copy after login

express: Web framework for Node.js.
mongoose: MongoDB object modeling tool.
bcryptjs: Library to hash passwords.
jsonwebtoken: For generating and verifying JWT tokens.
nodemailer: For sending emails.
dotenv: To manage environment variables.

1.3. Set Up Environment Variables
Create a .env file in the root of your project to store your environment variables:

PORT=5000
MONGO_URI=your_mongodb_connection_string
JWT_SECRET=your_jwt_secret
EMAIL_USER=your_email@example.com
EMAIL_PASS=your_email_password

Copy after login

1.4. Set Up the Express Server
Create a server.js file and set up the basic Express server:

const express = require('express');
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const dotenv = require('dotenv');

const app = express();

dotenv.config();

const port = process.env.PORT || 5001;

//middlewares
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
app.use(cors());

mongoose.connect(process.env.MONGO_URI, {
  useNewUrlParser: true,
  useUnifiedTopology: true,
});

app.listen(port, () => {
  console.log(`Server is running on http://localhost:${port}`);
});

Copy after login

1.5. Create User Model
Create a models directory and add a User.js file for the User model:

const mongoose = require("mongoose");

const userSchema = new mongoose.Schema(
  {
    firstName: { type: String, require: true },
    lastName: { type: String, require: true },
    email: { type: String, require: true, unique: true },
    password: { type: String, require: true },
    mobileNo: { type: String, require: true },
    image: { type: String, default: "" },
    dob: { type: String, require: true },
  },
  { timestamps: true }
);

const User = mongoose.model("user", userSchema);

module.exports = User;

Copy after login

1.6. Create Auth Routes
Create a routes directory and add an auth.js file for authentication routes:

const express = require("express");
const {
  register,
  login,
  requestPasswordResetController,
  resetPasswordController,
} = require("../controllers/user");

const router = express.Router();

router.post("/login", login);
router.post("/requestPasswordReset", requestPasswordResetController);
router.post("/resetPassword", resetPasswordController);

module.exports = router;

Copy after login

1.7. Add Cloudinary for Profile Picture Upload
Install the necessary dependencies for Cloudinary:

npm install cloudinary multer multer-storage-cloudinary

Copy after login

cloudinary: Cloud-based image and video management.
multer: Middleware for handling multipart/form-data.
multer-storage-cloudinary: Integration between multer and cloudinary.

1.8. Configure Cloudinary
Create a config directory and add a cloudinaryConfig.js file:

const cloudinary = require('cloudinary').v2;
const { CloudinaryStorage } = require('multer-storage-cloudinary');

cloudinary.config({
  cloud_name: process.env.CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME,
  api_key: process.env.CLOUDINARY_API_KEY,
  api_secret: process.env.CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET,
});

const storage = new CloudinaryStorage({
  cloudinary,
  params: {
    folder: 'profile_pics',
    allowedFormats: ['jpg', 'png'],
  },
});

module.exports = { cloudinary, storage };

Copy after login

Update your .env file to include Cloudinary configuration:

CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME=your_cloud_name
CLOUDINARY_API_KEY=your_api_key
CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET=your_api_secret

Copy after login

1.9. Define Token Schema
Create a models directory and add a tokenSchema.js file:

const mongoose = require("mongoose");

const tokenSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  userId: { type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId, require: true, ref: "User" },
  token: { type: String, require: true },
  createdAt: { type: Date, default: Date.now, expires: 3600 },
});

const Token = mongoose.model("Token", tokenSchema);

module.exports = Token;

Copy after login

1.10. Implement Auth Service
Create a services directory and add an authService.js file:

const Token = require("../models/tokenSchema");
const User = require("../models/userSchema");
const crypto = require("crypto");
const bcrypt = require("bcryptjs");
const sendEmail = require("../config/sendEmail");

const requestPasswordReset = async (email) => {
  try {
    const user = await User.findOne({ email });

    if (!user) {
      throw new Error("User doesn't exist");
    }
    const name = `${user.firstName} ${user.lastName}`;

    let token = await Token.findOne({ userId: user._id });
    if (token) await token.deleteOne();
    let resetToken = crypto.randomBytes(32).toString("hex");
    const salt = await bcrypt.genSalt(10);
    const hash = await bcrypt.hash(resetToken, salt);

    const newToken = await Token.create({
      userId: user._id,
      token: hash,
      createdAt: Date.now(),
    });

    const link = `${process.env.CLIENT_URL}/forgot-password/reset?token=${resetToken}&id=${user._id}`;
    const htmlContent = `
      <h1>Hi, ${name}</h1>
      <p>You requested to reset your password.</p>
      <p>Please, click the link below to reset your password.</p>
      <a href="${link}">Reset Password</a>`;
    sendEmail(`${email}`, "Request to reset password", htmlContent);
    return link;
  } catch (error) {
    console.log(error.message);
  }
};

const resetPassword = async (userId, token, password) => {
  try {
    let passwordResetToken = await Token.findOne({ userId });
    if (!passwordResetToken) {
      throw new Error("Invalid or expired password reset token");
    }

    const isValid = await bcrypt.compare(token, passwordResetToken.token);

    if (!isValid) {
      throw new Error("Invalid or expired password reset token");
    }

    const salt = await bcrypt.genSalt(10);
    const hash = await bcrypt.hash(password, salt);

    await User.updateOne(
      { _id: userId },
      { $set: { password: hash } },
      { new: true }
    );

    const user = await User.findById({ _id: userId });
    const name = `${user.firstName} ${user.lastName}`;

    const htmlContent = `<h1>Hi, ${name}</h1>
      <p>Your password reset successfully.</p>`;

    sendEmail(user.email, "Password Reset Successfully", htmlContent);
    await passwordResetToken.deleteOne();
    return "Password Reset Successfully";
  } catch (error) {
    console.log(error.message);
  }
};

module.exports = { requestPasswordReset, resetPassword };

Copy after login

requestPasswordReset(email): Generates a password reset token, saves it in the database, and sends an email to the user with the reset link.
resetPassword(userId, token, password): Verifies the token, hashes the new password, updates the user's password in the database, and sends a confirmation email.

1.11. Implementing User Controller
Create a controllers directory and add a userController.js file:

const User = require("../models/userSchema");
const bcrypt = require("bcryptjs");
const generateToken = require("../config/generateToken");
const { requestPasswordReset, resetPassword } = require("../services/authService");
const Token = require("../models/tokenSchema");
const cloudinary = require("cloudinary").v2;

const register = async (req, res) => {
  try {
    const {
      firstName,
      lastName,
      email,
      password,
      confirmPassword,
      mobileNo,
      dob,
    } = req.body;

    const salt = await bcrypt.genSalt(10);
    const hashedPassword = await bcrypt.hash(password, salt);

    const image = req.file.path;
    const imagePublicId = req.file.filename;
    const emailExist = await User.findOne({ email });

    if (emailExist) {
      await cloudinary.uploader.destroy(imagePublicId);
      res.status(409).send({ message: "User with this email already exists" });
    }

    if (password != confirmPassword) {
      await cloudinary.uploader.destroy(imagePublicId);
      res
        .status(400)
        .send({ message: "Password and Confirm password did not match" });
    }

    if (!emailExist && password === confirmPassword) {
      const newUser = await User.create({
        firstName: firstName,
        lastName: lastName,
        email: email,
        password: hashedPassword,
        mobileNo: mobileNo,
        dob: dob,
        image: image,
      });
      res.send({
        firstName: firstName,
        lastName: lastName,
        email: email,
        password: hashedPassword,
        mobileNo: mobileNo,
        dob: dob,
        token: generateToken(newUser._id),
      });
    }
  } catch (error) {
    if (req.file && req.file.filename) {
      await cloudinary.uploader.destroy(req.file.filename);
    }
    console.log(error);
  }
};

const login = async (req, res) => {
  try {
    const { email, password } = req.body;

    const user = await User.findOne({ email });

    if (!user) {
      res.status(404).send({ message: "Email id is wrong" });
    }

    if (user) {
      const validPassword = await bcrypt.compare(password, user.password);

      if (!validPassword) {
        res.status(401).send({ message: "Password is wrong" });
      } else {
        res.status(200).send({
          user: user,
          token: generateToken(user._id),
        });
      }
    }
  } catch (error) {
    console.log(error);
  }
};

const requestPasswordResetController = async (req, res) => {
  try {
    const email = req.body.email;
    const user = await User.findOne({ email });

    if (!user) {
      res.status(404).send({ message: "User not found" });
    }

    const requestPasswordResetService = await requestPasswordReset(email);

    return res.status(200).send(requestPasswordResetService);
  } catch (error) {
    res.status(500).send({ message: error.message });
    console.log(error.message);
  }
};

const resetPasswordController = async (req, res) => {
  try {
    const userId = req.body.userId;
    const token = req.body.token;
    const password = req.body.password;

    let passwordResetToken = await Token.findOne({ userId });
    const resetPasswordService = await resetPassword(userId, token, password);

    if (!passwordResetToken) {
      res.status(404).send({ message: "Token not found or expired" });
    }
    return res.status(200).send(resetPasswordService);
  } catch (error) {
    console.log(error.message);
    return res.status(500).send({ message: error.message });
  }
};

module.exports = {
  register,
  login,
  requestPasswordResetController,
  resetPasswordController,
};

Input: Expects data from the request body (req.body) containing user information such as firstName, lastName, email, password, confirmPassword, mobileNo, dob, and optionally image (for profile picture).
Steps:
Hashes the password using bcrypt for security.
Checks if the email already exists in the database (User.findOne({ email })).
If the email exists, it responds with a 409 status (conflict).
If the passwords (password and confirmPassword) don't match, it responds with a 400 status (bad request).
If everything is valid, it creates a new User document in MongoDB using User.create() with hashed password and uploads the profile picture to Cloudinary.
Responds with a success message or user data along with a JWT token generated using generateToken(newUser._id).
login(req, res)
Handles user login authentication. Here's how it works:
Input: Expects email and password from the request body (req.body).
Steps:
Finds a user in the database by email (User.findOne({ email })).
If no user is found, responds with a 404 status (not found).
Compares the provided password with the stored hashed password using bcrypt.
If passwords match, generates a JWT token (generateToken(user._id)) and sends it along with the user data in the response.
If passwords don't match, responds with a 401 status (unauthorized).
requestPasswordResetController(req, res)
Initiates the password reset process for a user:
Input: Expects email from the request body (req.body).
Steps:
Finds a user in the database by email (User.findOne({ email })).
If no user is found, responds with a 404 status (not found).
Calls requestPasswordReset(email) from authService to initiate the password reset process.
Sends a response with the result of the password reset request.
1. resetPasswordController(req, res) Handles resetting a user's password:
Input: Expects userId, token, and password from the request body (req.body).
Steps:
Finds a password reset token for the user (Token.findOne({ userId })).
If no token is found, responds with a 404 status (not found).
Verifies the provided token against the stored hashed token using bcrypt.
If the token is valid, hashes the new password using bcrypt and updates the user's password in the database (User.updateOne()).
Sends a password reset confirmation email using sendEmail() and deletes the used password reset token (passwordResetToken.deleteOne()).
Responds with a success message.

1.12. Send Email Utility
Create a config directory and add a sendEmail.js file:

const nodemailer = require("nodemailer");

const sendEmail = async (email, subject, text) => {
  try {
    const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
      host: process.env.HOST,
      service: process.env.SERVICE,
      port: 465,
      secure: true,
      auth: {
        user: process.env.USER,
        pass: process.env.PASS,
      },
    });

    await transporter.sendMail({
      from: "Your App Name",
      to: email,
      subject: subject,
      html: text,
    });

    console.log("Email sent successfully");
  } catch (error) {
    console.log(error, "Email not sent");
  }
};

module.exports = sendEmail;

Copy after login

The sendEmail function integrates Nodemailer to handle email sending operations in your application. It's configured with SMTP settings using environment variables for security, sends HTML-formatted emails, and includes error handling to manage potential transmission issues effectively. This abstraction simplifies email-related tasks across your application, ensuring reliable communication with users.

1.13. Integrate Routes into the Server and cloudinary cloud image update
Update server.js to include the authentication routes:

const express = require("express");
const dotenv = require("dotenv");
const cors = require("cors");
const connectDB = require("./db/db");
const authRoutes = require("./routes/user");
const bodyParser = require("body-parser");
const multer = require("multer");
const { storage } = require("./config/storage");
const { register } = require("./controllers/user");
const employeeRoutes = require("./routes/employee");
const transactionRoutes = require("./routes/transaction");

const app = express();

dotenv.config();

const port = process.env.PORT || 5001;

//middlewares
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
app.use(cors());
const upload = multer({ storage });

//routes
app.use("/api/auth", authRoutes);

//routes with files

app.post("/api/auth/register", upload.single("file"), register);

mongoose.connect(process.env.MONGO_URI, {
  useNewUrlParser: true,
  useUnifiedTopology: true,
});

app.listen(port, () => {
  console.log(`Server is running on http://localhost:${port}`);
});

2.3. Create Pages and Components
Create pages and components for registration, login, forgot password, and reset password.

app/register/page.js

import Register from "@/components/Auth/Register";
import React from "react";

const page = () => {
  return (
    <div>
