Using email as username - problems with Password Recovery tutorial

I have created an app that writes the user's email into the username field in my user's database. No issues there... However, when I built password recovery features into my app based on this tutorial:
http://devcenter.appery.io/tutorials/...
I cannot get my service request to find the user when sending an email address as the value for 'username'.
I get the following response:
{
"message":"User not found"
}
When I create a username in the database that is a non-email string (i.e. "johndoe"), and re-test the service, the user is identified and the recovery code is sent out by email via SendGrid as intended.
Any ideas?

Haven't set up the mapping yet. I'm using the test feature in the service settings.

Hi Thomas,
Please use following line of JS code in where clause:
pre
"where": '{"username": "' + encodeURIComponent(username) + '"}'
/pre
So the username should be urlEncoded.
Regards.

Did you mean
"where": '{"username": "' + encodeURI(username) + '"}'
instead of
"where": '{"username": "' + encodeURIComponent(username) + '"}' ?
encodeURI appears to work!
Regards,
Thomas

Hello
Code: Select all
I have the same problem but I do not know where to put the above code. I do not have a where field. I am mapping to a username field like the tutorial says. If i past your code into the js in mapping I get a error with the code.
I need to use a email as a username.
Thank You
Vinny

Add a request parameter for the service by the name of "where"

Hello!
1) Please add a database service called query
2) Open it and you will see where parameter
or
1) open a database collection
2) click on FIND button
3) create service with all the settings for this request type
4) add where parameter manually (click add in the request tab of a service)

The database service works fine with a username that is not an e-mail.
example vinny
The database service does not work if I use and e-mail
example a href="mailto:vinny20@gmail.com" rel="nofollow"vinny20@gmail.com/a
The server side script works fine if I use an e-mail directly in the code
I tried the where parameter and yuri code but It does not work.
Here is my where ( iam mapping from username to where)
here is my console
Any ideas?
