Hello everyone! Can somebody help me understanding the following… Why is it that: mydata = %{id: user.id, email: user.email, username: user.username} IO.inspect mydata jwt = %{data: mydata, sub: user.id} results in iex(1)> %{email: "maria@hello.com", id: 4, username: "maria"} while: mydata = …

@NobbZ , @hauleth My actual problem that led me to debugging that is the following line: https://github.com/greyhwndz/library_api/blob/master/lib/library_api_web/controllers/session_controller.ex#L12 should return me a token after Postman POST { "email": "juan@hello.com", "password": "asdf" } t…

This is neither minimal nor verifiable example. I still do not get where you put that inspect nor what are the types you are inspecting.

Am sorry @hauleth for being a newbie. I guess I will try to re-create a new thread and re-phrase my problem. Thanks for the guidance

@benwilson512 , @NobbZ , @hauleth I have the following code in lib/library_api/library.ex ... def get_user_by_email!(email), do: Repo.get_by!(User, email: email) ... and in my SessionController lib/library_api_web/controllers/session_controller.ex defmodule LibraryApiWeb.SessionController do u…

get_user_by_email! returns a %LibraryApi.Library.User{} not {:ok, %LibraryApi.Library.User{}}, so your case in your controller doesn’t match. Also, you probably know this, but never store user passwords in the database unhashed.

I understand about the password but it is being hashed somewhere but did not include it coz my problem was the exception being thrown. What is the best way to match it @benwilson512 ?

Well, let’s think about the control flow you might want. get_user_by_email! uses Repo.get_by!. What happens if it doesn’t return any records? It raises an exception. This means that you’d need to handle it with try / catch in your controller, but this probably isn’t what you want. So I’d get rid of …
