Passport Local.js with email instead of username

I am using passport-local to authenticate users. However, I am using email and password to login instead of the default username.

How do I change my configuration to change username to email in passport.authenticate?

Here is my LocalStrategy code:

const strategy = new LocalStrategy(userSchema.authenticate() )
passport.use(strategy);

Here is my signup code:

app.post('/signup', async function (req, res) {

  const email = req.body.email;
  const password = req.body.password;
  const passwordretype = req.body.passwordretype
  const name = req.body.name
  if (password.length < 5) {

    return res.render('signup', { error: "Your Password must be at least 5 characters in length" })

  }
  if (password !== passwordretype) {
    return res.render('signup', { error: "Your Passwords must match" })

  }
  if (password.length > 40) {
    return res.render('signup', { error: "Your Password must be under 40 characters in length" })

  }

  if (name.length > 50) {
    return res.render('signup', { error: "Your Name must be under 50 characters in length" })

  }
  const doc = await userSchema.findOne({ email: email })
  if (doc) {
    return res.render('signup', { error: "This email is already in use with the sign up method: " + doc.method })
  }


  const randomnum = String(Math.floor(Math.random() * 10000))
  const username1 = name.split(' ').join('')
  const username = username1.concat(randomnum)

    userSchema.register(
      new userSchema({ 
        email: email,
        method: 'email',
        credits: 0,
        totalearned: 0,
        totalspent: 0,
        purchases: [],
        currentlysolving: null,
        solved: [],
        posted: [],
        currentposted: [],
        level: 0,
        username: username,
        feescollected:0,
        }), req.body.password, function (err, user) {
          
        if (err) {
          return res.render('signup', { error: err })
        } else {
          req.login(user, (er) =>  {
            if (er) {
              return res.render('signup', { error: err })
            }
            else {
              res.redirect('/')
            }
        });
    }
      }
    )

  


});

And finally, here is the login code that is not allowing email

app.post('/login', function (req, res) {
  //
 
  const state = req.query.state
  const email = req.body.email;
  const password = req.body.password;
//      
passport.authenticate("local", function (err, user, info) {
  if (err) {
    return res.render('login', { error: err, state: state })  }
  else {
      if (!user) {
        return res.render('login', { error: `The email or password entered is incorrect`, state: state })  
      }
      else {
          const token = jwt.sign({ userId: user._id, email: user.email }, secretkey, { expiresIn: "24h" });
          res.json({ success: true, message: "Authentication successful", token: token });
      }
  }
})(req, res);



})

How do I fix this? Thank you

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE".
