conditional beforeUpdate in sails

Question

I need to encrypt the password only if some criteria is fullfilled.

beforeUpdate: function (value, cb) {
User.findOne(value.id)
  .exec(function (err, originalUser) {
    if (err || !originalUser) {
      return cb();
    }
    //encrypt the password only if the password is not previously encrypted
    if (value.password != originalUser.password) {
       //encrypt the Pwd
    } else {
      cb();
    }
  });

} The problem is that, the value object only contains the update params, how can I get the whole user object in the value object?

Answer 1

After the update of async, this method does not work anymore.

You can not get the whole object inside beforeUpdate. You can try this to get the id. var id= this.update.arguments[0]
