Schema method returns 'undefined'

[OKNoah]

Here is the method:

User.methods.verifyPassword = function verifyPassword ( password ) {
  return bcrypt.compare( password, this.password )
}

Here it is used in the controller.

export function* login () {
  let self = this

  const user = yield User.findOne({ email: this.request.body.email }).exec()

  if ( user.verifyPassword(this.request.body.password) ) {
    this.status = 200
    this.body = {
      token: user.token
    }
  } else {
    this.status = 500
    this.body = "Problem signing in."
  }
}

I'm not sure what bcrypt library you're using but doesn't the compare method take a callback as the third parameter (although I'm surprised it doesn't scream at you for not providing it)? There might be a synchronous version (compareSync) but ideally you should thunkify the async variant and yield in the controller.

@jiripospisil is right, bcrypt.compare() is async.
