asyncData get profile from db - mongodb

Question

So i want to fetch from db using asyncdata and axios, Here's the code, The problem is that no request is sent, And i'm wondering if someone can help me catch the error.
async asyncData({ $axios, store }) {
try {
let profile = await $axios.$get('/profile', store.state.auth.id)
return { profile }
} catch (error) {
console.log(error.message)
}
},
router.get('/profile', async (req, res) => {
const { userId } = req.body
try {
const profileUser = await User.findById(userId)
res.send(profileUser)
} catch (e) {
console.log(e)
res.status(400).json(e.message)
}
})

You may need to modify your route to the following, if you want to pass the id as parameter
router.get('/profile/:id', async (req, res) => {
const { userId } = req.params.id;
try {
const profileUser = await User.findById(userId)
res.send(profileUser)
} catch (e) {
console.log(e)
res.status(400).json(e.message)
}
})
and add profile id as route parameter
async asyncData({ $axios, store }) {
try {
let profile = await $axios.get('/profile/{profile_id_here}')
return { profile }
} catch (error) {
console.log(error.message)
}
}
Otherwise, if you want to get the id of the authenticated user (may be resolved from a Bearer token), it needs to be set to the request object in you authentication middleware.
In your authentication middleware,
const user = await _authService.validateFromToken(bearerToken);
if (user) {
req.user = user;
}
then you can access authenticated user as,
router.get('/profile', async (req, res) => {
const { userId } = req.user._id;
try {
const profileUser = await User.findById(userId)
res.send(profileUser)
} catch (e) {
console.log(e)
res.status(400).json(e.message)
}
})
