Getting data in an Angular Component (Profile page)

Question

I'm working on a MEAN Stack application. I have made authentication and authorization using jWt and it works like a charm. The problem that I'm facing is how to get the user data in the Profile page component. I'm thinking about several options:

• First, sending the email from the Login component to the Dashboard and then pass it to Profile . It will be easy from then to send a get request to get the user with the email.
• Second, I don't know if it possible but I'm thinking of using the jwt I'm returning to the user to get his data since I created it with the provided email in Login

This is how I created the jwt token:

login: async (data, model) => {
    try {
        /** 
         * Fetch the admin from the Database
         */
        const adminData = await baseRepository.findOne({ email: data.email }, model);
        /** 
         * Check if an admin with that email exists
         */
        if (!adminData) {
            return (400, { message: "ADMIN NOT FOUND" })
        } else {
            /** 
             * Compare the input password with the hashed password in the database
             */
            const admin = { email: adminData.email }
            if (await bcrypt.compare(data.password, adminData.password)) {
                /** 
                 * Create a jwt Token and send it back to the client
                 */
                const accessToken = jwt.sign(admin, process.env.ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET)
                return ({ status: 200, accessToken: accessToken })
            }
            return ({ status: 401, accessToken: null })
        }
    }

    catch (err) {
        throw err
    }
}

That's the method from the repository that I'm using to handle the request in the controller this way:

login: async (req, res) => {

    try {
        console.log("yo")
        const { status, accessToken } = await authRepository.login(req.body, Admin)
        if (status == 400) {
            res.status(400).json({ message: "ADMIN NOT FOUND" })
        } else if (status == 401) {
            res.status(401).json({ message: "WRONG PASSWORD" })
        }
        res.status(200).json({ accessToken: accessToken })
    }
    catch (e) {
        res.status(400).send({ error: e })
    }

}

And these are the libraries I'm using:

const bcrypt = require("bcrypt");
const jwt = require("jsonwebtoken");

Answer 1

The response of the login service need to be the profile info
