Err

Answer 1

I had this problem as well, with a returned user from mongoose, just add toJSON() or toObject() will fix the issue, but what happens if your user is not always coming from mongoose?

You will get a

user.toJson/user.ToObject is not a function

if you try to do this on a plain object.

If your user is coming from different sources and you don't know if it will be a plain object or not, you can solve it like this:

JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(user));
