Express Session RethinkDB

RethinkDB session store for Express 4.x

Installation

npm install express-session-rethinkdb --save

Getting started

Note that you must already have Express Session already installed (npm install express-session --save). Also this specific package uses rethinkdbdash driver which has more advanced features. See rethinkdbdash

var express = require('express');
var cookie = require('cookie-parser');
var session = require('express-session');
var RDBStore = require('express-session-rethinkdb')(session);

var app = express();
var rdbStore = new RDBStore({
  connectOptions: {
    servers: [
      { host: '192.168.0.100', port: 28015 },
      { host: '192.168.0.101', port: 28015 },
      { host: '192.168.0.102', port: 28015 }
    ],
    db: 'test',
    discovery: false,
    pool: false,
    buffer: 50,
    max: 1000,
    timeout: 20,
    timeoutError: 1000
  },
  table: 'session',
  sessionTimeout: 86400000,
  flushInterval: 60000,
  debug: false
});

app.use(cookie());
app.use(session({
  key: 'sid',
  secret: 'my5uperSEC537(key)!',
  cookie: { maxAge: 860000 },
  store: rdbStore
}));

// the rest of your server code..

###With rethinkdbdash connection

var express = require('express');
var cookie = require('cookie-parser');
var session = require('express-session');
var RDBStore = require('express-session-rethinkdb')(session);
var rethinkdb = require('rethinkdbdash');

var r = new rethinkdb({db: "test"}) //normal rethinkdbdash connection can be used across your project
var app = express();
var rdbStore = new RDBStore({
  connection: r,
  table: 'session',
  sessionTimeout: 86400000,
  flushInterval: 60000,
  debug: false
});

app.use(cookie());
app.use(session({
  key: 'sid',
  secret: 'my5uperSEC537(key)!',
  cookie: { maxAge: 860000 },
  store: rdbStore
}));

// the rest of your server code..

###With Thinky

var express = require('express');
var cookie = require('cookie-parser');
var session = require('express-session');
var RDBStore = require('express-session-rethinkdb')(session);
var thinky = require('thinky')({db: "test"}); 

var app = express();
var rdbStore = new RDBStore({
  connection: thinky.r,
  table: 'session',
  sessionTimeout: 86400000,
  flushInterval: 60000,
  debug: false
});

app.use(cookie());
app.use(session({
  key: 'sid',
  secret: 'my5uperSEC537(key)!',
  cookie: { maxAge: 860000 },
  store: rdbStore
}));

// the rest of your server code..

##Constructor options

###connection rethinkdbdash connection instance. See RethinkDB's doc Also see rethinkdbdash

###connectOptions Options for connecting to the database server. (if connection is set connectOptions will be ignored) See RethinkDB's doc Also see rethinkdbdash

###table Name of the table in which session data will be stored. Default: 'session'

###sessionTimeout If you do not set cookie.maxAge in session middleware, sessions will last until the user closes their browser. However we cannot keep the session data infinitely (for size and security reasons). In this case, this setting defines the maximum length of a session, even if the user does not close their browser. Default: 86400000 1 day

###flushInterval RethinkDB does not yet provide an expiration function ( like SETEX for Redis ), so we have to remove the old expired sessions from the database intermittently. This is the time interval in milliseconds between flushing of expired sessions. Default: 60000 60 seconds

###debug If debug is enabled, this middleware will start using console.log() to print debug type messages for session get, set, and destroy. These are currently mostly geared toward the memory caching. It takes a true or false value. Default: false
