Link cats with users

[felixchristo]

How to maintain session with this so that each user can maintain their own data

[DavideViolante]

The session of the login is already mantained with the token in localstorage. Each user that login have its own token.

Yes sir, But the data of one user is visible to other. How to show the data which is related to that particular user alone

[DavideViolante]

But the data of one user is visible to other

What do you mean? Tell me what you need to do in details.

[felixchristo]

If X login and Enter details and then Y login, Y able to see X's details and X able to see Y's details.

Are you talking about the cat data? Add user id to each cat and amend the queries to filter data unique to each user?

I think I need to edit base.js for that?

[felixchristo]

If you could do that and update it, It will be very useful to all and the project will look meaningful

[dougal83]

I think this would be a good challenge to learn for you as this project is a starter to build on.Base.js would be a good start. When personalising the cat data that is held in the database, you might want to consider whether you actually need a database? Local storage would be an option.

The user data is private, the cat page and data is visible to all users, including the guests. I though about the cats as the "products" that can be seen by everyone. Currently there is no association between users and cats, since this is just a starter project and is meant to be simple.
If you want to create a link between them, you should edit the user schema as follows:
cats: [{ type: Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'Cat' }]
The important word here to note is ref. This creates a reference between User schema and Cat schema. So each user in this way will have an array of cats, their cats.
You can find some tutorials online about this topic, search for "mongoose ref"

I am just getting this
"_id" : ObjectId("5a446ab43533970b8489e1ac"),
"username" : "Chris",
"email" : "fel@gmail.com",
"password" : "$2a$10$ogerY6OiCRKy9TjPYERaOugUJeqelBl.yToJ4ZBX3ac2MVZQpsKOu",
"role" : "user",
"cats" : [ ],
"__v" : 0

If I do cats: [{ type: Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'Cat' }] in user.js

[DavideViolante]

It's not that simple, I just gave you an hint. Every time you do the add new cat you should update the cats array of the user that added that cat.

Still I couldn't do this :(
