Description

Now that we can ensure the user accessing the /profile is authenticated, we can use the information contained in 'req.user' on our page!

Go ahead and pass the object containing the variable username equaling req.user.username into the render method of the profile view. Then go to your profile.pug view and add the line h2.center#welcome Welcome, #{username}! creating the h2 element with the class 'center' and id 'welcome' containing the text 'Welcome, ' and the username!

Also in the profile, add a link to /logout. That route will host the logic to unauthenticate a user. a(href='/logout') Logout

Submit your page when you think you've got it right. If you're running into errors, you can check out the project completed up to this point here.

Instructions

Tests

tests:
  - text: You should correctly add a Pug render variable to /profile.
    testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url')+ '/_api/server.js') .then(data => { assert.match(data, /username:( |)req.user.username/gi, 'You should be passing the variable username with req.user.username into the render function of the profile page'); }, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.statusText); })
