===============
Implementation of the session storage in Apache Cassandra as express middleware.
Installation
------------
``
$ npm install --save cassandra-store
Usage
-----
Usage within express:
`
const session = require("express-session");
const CassandraStore = require("cassandra-store");
app.use(session({
store: new CassandraStore(options),
...
}));
`
Options
-------
`
{
table: "sessions",
client: null, // an existing cassandra client
clientOptions: { // more https://github.com/datastax/nodejs-driver
contactPoints: [ "localhost" ],
localDataCenter: 'datacenter1',
keyspace: "sessions_store"
}
};
Notes:
- If no options.client is supplied a new one is created using options.clientOptions
- If the client does not have a keyspace configured you must include it in the table name:
Configuring the database
------------------------
To create the table in the Cassandra database, you need the execute the following CQL commands:
`
DROP KEYSPACE IF EXISTS sessions_store;
CREATE KEYSPACE sessions_store WITH replication = {
'class': 'SimpleStrategy',
'replication_factor': '1'
};
CREATE TABLE sessions_store.sessions (
sid text,
session text,
PRIMARY KEY (sid)
) WITH default_time_to_live = 3600; // 1 hour
`
