This module is an addon for ExpressJS that adds a new Session Storage device.
npm install express-session-mongo
The standard usage, is to just pass an instantiated MongoStore instance to the session plugin.
var xp = require('express'),
MongoStore = require('express-session-mongo');
var app = xp.createServer();
app.configure(function(){
app.use(xp.cookieDecoder());
app.use(xp.session({ store: new MongoStore() }));
app.use(app.router);
});
You can also pass several options to the constructor to tweak your session store:
- db - The name of the db to use, defaults to:
express-sessions - ip - The IP address of the server to connect to, defaults to:
127.0.0.1 - port - The Port to connect to, defaults to:
27017 - collection - The collection to save it's data to, defaults to:
sessions - server - A custom mongo Server instance (this overides db, ip & port):
var CustomServer = new Server(123.456.789.1, 12345, { auto_reconnect: true }, {});
app.use(xp.session({ store: new MongoStore({ server: CustomServer }) }));Licensed under my standard BSD license.
