Problem
The pattern I used in the
schema
instance infreecodecamp-points.service.js
was wrong.I used
\w
because I thought usernames could only have letters, numbers, hyphens and underscores. I wasn't aware they could have plus until now. ThenallowAndStripUnknownKeys
kicked off and removed the properties that didn't match the pattern defined, including usernames with a+
in it.Solution
I stole the pattern used to validate usernames from the official freeCodeCamp repository this time, so it should match this time.
Now it handles
+
symbols correctly.
