In express.js it's simple to find the user's information. You can get this by calling req.user to get the user object, and from that, use req.user.id to get the user ID.

For example, you can use the following:

router.get('/user', function(req, res){
  var user_id = req.user.id
});

You will populate the user_id variable with the user id.

Its easy to get the logged in user using Passport.

Since you are using express framework, you can get the logged in user object from express middle ware.

If user is logged in, then you can get the current user in every express routing methods using the following property:

req.user

Do a console.log of it and see what all details you need to fetch from user.

Heres a local signup strategy I use for signing users up, creating a user object and adding it to the users collection in my mongoDB using mongoose.

var LocalStrategy = require('passport-local').Strategy,
User = require('mongoose').model('User')

module.exports = function(passport){

passport.use('local-signup', new LocalStrategy(function(username, password, done){
    User.findOne({username: username}, function(err, user){
        if(err) { return done(err) }
        if(user) { return done(null, false) }
        else {
            var newUser = new User()
            newUser.username = username
            newUser.password = newUser.generateHash(password)
            newUser.downloads = []
            newPassword = []

            newUser.save(function(err){
                if(err) { throw err }
                return done(null, newUser)
            })
        }
    })
}))
}

If you want to add the user to the database for the session user you probably need to do something like this:

var newUser = req.user
newUser.save(....

Hope it helps.
