I have been trying to use the connect-flash middleware for messages but it doesnt seem to be working. I get the following error: ReferenceError: /Users/zc/Documents/tutorials/node-auth/views/addstudent.ejs:14 12|
Add a new Student
13| >> 14|Welcome: <%= user.local.name %>

app.post('/addstudent', isLoggedIn, function(req, res){
console.log(req.body.selectoptions);
var studentDetails = {};
var newStudent = new Student(studentDetails);
newStudent.save(function(err, student){
if (err) throw err;
console.log(student);
res.render('student', {
user: req.user
});
});
});
I am using ejs for the templating. I'm not sure why I'm getting user not defined, even after passing it along as an object when rendering student view.
