Bugs
- None identified in the code.
Optimizations
- Connection Handling: Ensure that the database connection is closed after it is used to prevent potential connection leaks.
- Password Comparison: The password comparison operation returns a boolean, thus you can return its result directly instead of using an
ifstatement. - Error Handling: Add try-catch blocks to handle any exceptions that might arise during database operations or bcrypt comparison.
Good points
- Async/Await Usage: The code effectively uses async/await for handling asynchronous operations, which is readable and efficient.
- Modularization: The code is neatly encapsulated into a function for reusability.
Summary
The code effectively queries a MongoDB database to validate a user's password using bcrypt for comparison. It uses async/await efficiently for asynchronous programming. While the code is functional, it lacks error handling and proper management of the database connection lifecycle. These optimizations, when applied, can help improve resource usage and error management.
