express-session-sequelize

Express session store using Sequelize to persist session data.


Usage

The session store must first be initialized by passing in expressSession.Store

``javascript
const expressSession = require('express-session');
const SessionStore = require('express-session-sequelize')(expressSession.Store);
`

Then the session store instance can be created by using new SessionStore(options)

`javascript
const express = require('express');
const cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');
const expressSession = require('express-session');
const SessionStore = require('express-session-sequelize')(expressSession.Store);

const Sequelize = require('sequelize');
const myDatabase = new Sequelize('database', 'username', 'password', {
host: 'localhost',
dialect: 'mysql',
});

const sequelizeSessionStore = new SessionStore({
db: myDatabase,
});

const app = express();

app.use(cookieParser());
app.use(expressSession({
secret: 'keep it secret, keep it safe.',
store: sequelizeSessionStore,
resave: false,
saveUninitialized: false,
}));
`

Options

Full list of options that can be passed in while instanciating the session store.

`javascript
const options = {
db, // Valid Sequelize instance **required
checkExpirationInterval, // How often expired sessions are purged in milliseconds. (Default: 15 minutes)
expiration, // How long until inactive sessions expire in milliseconds. (Default: 24 hours)
};
