Node.js和Mongoose中基于角色的登录

Question

I have an application with 2 roles, a User and a Photographer . the difference between these 2 models is a isAdmin field in User and a Photo[ ] in Photographer and a order[ ] in User . But I need only one login for both of them! Clearly, need different views and routs for them! how can I do this? If any guide, I would be appreciated! Thanks a lot!

The schemas are as below:

var userSchema = new Schema({
    //some other fields, the same with photographer
    isAdmin: { type: Boolean, default: false },
    orders: [{
        price: { type: Number, default: 0 }
        },
        {timestamps: true}
    ]
});

var photographerSchema = new Schema({
    //some other fields, the same with user
    photos: [{
        title: { type: String, default: '' },
        path: { type: String },
        price: { type: Number, default: 0 },
        isAppoved: { type: Boolean, default: false },
        },
    {timestamps: true}
    ]
});

You should rethink your architecture. Better solution would be to have 1 User model and 2 profile submodels. User model would contain the type of the user and fetch profile info(writer_profile/user_profile) from the submodels.

If you won't refactor, this will turn in to a mess pretty fast. Think about it, what happens when a User and a Writer registers with the same credentials? You will need to check that too.
