Mongoose "Create" method - Is there no callback? (Using passport and angular) - angularjs

Question

I am using mongoose to create a user object on register. This works fine and any errors are returned as expected.
However, I want to log the user on right after they register (so registering logs you on if there are no errors).
I have the following for the register.
register_controller:
$scope.submitRegister = function() {
AuthenticationService.register(this.details).success(function() {
$log.debug('/POST to /api/register worked');
});
}
services.js:
.service('AuthenticationService', function($http, $timeout, $q, $session, $flash) {
...
this.register = function(details) {
var register = $http.post('/api/register', details);
register.success(function() {
console.log("User added fine");
}).error(function() {
console.log("error!!!");
});
return register;
};
...
users.js:
app.post('/api/register', authentication.register);
passport's authenticate.js:
module.exports = {
...
register: function(req, res){
var User = require('./controllers/api/login_api');
User.create({name: req.body.name, email: req.body.email, password: req.body.password}, function(err){
if (err) {
console.log(err);
return;
}
console.log("User added");
return res.send(200);
});
},
...
The error is reported back fine, no troubles, but I would have thought it would report something else back (like the created object?) which I could use down the line so my register_controller can have in the success function(object) {... login(object);...}.
Is this a limitation in the .create method or am I missing something obvious?
Thank you.

Two things to change in your server code:
passport's authenticate.js:
module.exports = {
...
register: function(req, res){
var User = require('./controllers/api/login_api');
User.create({name: req.body.name, email: req.body.email, password: req.body.password}, function(err, user){
if (err) {
console.log(err);
return;
}
console.log("User added");
return res.send(200, user);
});
},
...
I've added user to your callback Mongoose model.create api - return the created object to the CB
And to change the catch in your client:
.service('AuthenticationService', function($http, $timeout, $q, $session, $flash) {
...
this.register = function(details) {
var register = $http.post('/api/register', details);
register.success(function(user) {
console.log(user);
}).error(function() {
console.log("error!!!");
});
return register;
};
...
Now you can do with the created user object whatever you need
