Question

I was trying to create a custom save method so as not to store user passwords as plain text. But it seems whatever I do to change the value of this.values doesn’t have any effect. This is my sequelize model:

module.exports= function (sequelize, DataTypes){
return sequelize.define("Users",{
    username: DataTypes.STRING,
    password: DataTypes.STRING,
    first_name: DataTypes.STRING,
    last_name: DataTypes.STRING,
    email: DataTypes.STRING,
    is_admin: DataTypes.BOOLEAN,
    active: DataTypes.BOOLEAN
},{  instanceMethods: {
    user_save: function(){
        if(this.isNewRecord){
            var salt = 'blahblahblah';
            var key128Bits = CyrptoJS.PBKDF2(this.values.password, salt, { keySize: 128/32 });
            delete this.values.password;
            this.values.password = key128Bits.toString()
            console.log('new record ' + key128Bits.toString())
        }
        console.log(this.values)
        this.save();
        return
    }}
  }
);};

the first log statement confirms that the code inside the if isNewRecord is running, and generating a hash, the second log statement and the output indicate that the properties of this remain unchanged from their original values. Does anyone know why this is or how I can fix the problem?

I could do this immediately after a post request but I’d rather do it this way if possible.

set this.password instead of this.values.password
