I’m creating a web application using the MERN stack for which I want to implement google OAuth and session and I’m using ‘express-session’ and ‘passport.js’ for this. Everything seems to be working as expected but I’m getting an error: req.isAuthenticated isn't function. Also, the value of req.user is "undefined" but, the cookie is being generated and successfully stored in MongoDB. I’m new to node and passport so I’m not able to figure out the problem. Also, solutions to previously asked questions on this same error aren’t working for me.
This is the error
(node:10481) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: req.isAuthenticated is not a function

>Solution :
Middlewares orders is important. Put the .use(passport...) before the .use(router...)
