Q&A

You should use express middleware body-parser to parse your request into req.body, and your server just receive the email only.

(req, res) => {
  const { email } = req.body;
};

Error Handle: If your undefined or null, you can receive the The email shouldn't be empty. response.

• resetPasswordToken middleware request body ?

You should use express middleware body-parser to parse your request into req.body, and your server just receive the email only.

(req, res) => {
  const { token } = req.body;
};

• how to set AWS credentials ?

See the aws credentials setting document.

always in ~/.aws/credentials

[default]
aws_access_key_id = your_key_id
aws_secret_access_key = your_access_key

• how to connection redis ?

When you use local or test env, you can just use default host redis:localhost:6379, or you can set your own redis host enviroment.
