Adding additional fields to passport.js local strategy

Question

By default, passport.js only accepts username and password in its middleware.

How do I add a third field? In my case, I need username, email, and password.

Very simple, you just need to add req parameter and set passReqToCallback to true

passport.use('loginpassport', new LocalStrategy({
   usernameField: 'uname',
   passwordField: 'upass',
   passReqToCallback: true
   }, function (req, username, password, done) {
        var something = req.body.xxxxx;
   }));
