Why Koa ctx.body not working in if statement? about discussions HOT 3 OPEN

Setting ctx.body does not stop the function, like return would do.
What's probably happening is that you set ctx.body to be "user already exists", then later it will be overwritten with "user registered successfully".

try to add return ?

ctx.body = {
  exceptions: "",
  status: 200,
  error: false,
  message: "user already exists with this email",
};
return;

Maybe it's better to ask such questions on

PS. My advice is to add logging (to check all relevant conditions and values) to where the unexpected behavior occurs. That way you could narrow down the problem's cause.

E.g. after if(result.rows.length > 0){ you add console.log(result.rows.length), and so on.
