koa-session-mongo

 

MongoDB storage layer for Koa session middleware. Based on connect-mongo.

Installation

``bash
npm install koa-session-mongo
`

Usage

`js
var session = require('koa-session-store');
var mongoStore = require('koa-session-mongo');
var koa = require('koa');

var app = koa();

app.keys = ['some secret key']; // needed for cookie-signing

app.use(session({
store: mongoStore.create({
db: 'database_name'
})
}));

app.use(function *(){
var n = this.session.views || 0;
this.session.views = ++n;
this.body = n + ' views';
});

app.listen(3000);
console.log('listening on port 3000');
`

If you wish to specify host, port, etc:

`js
mongoStore.create({
host: 'mongo.hostname.com',
port: 48473,
db: 'database_name',
username: 'admin',
password: 'password',
})
`

Or you can pass in connection parameters as a URL string:

`js
mongoStore.create({
url: 'mongodb://user:pass@host:port/database_name/collection_name'
})
`

Or you can use an existing node-mongo-native db object:

`js
var mongo = require('mongodb');

var db = new mongo.Db("database_name", new mongo.Server('host', port, {}), { w: 1 });

mongoStore.create({
db: dbConn,
collection: 'sessions',
username: 'admin',
password: 'password'
})
`

Or you can use an existing Mongoose connection:

`js
var mongoose = require('mongoose');

mongoose.connect(...);

var store = mongoStore.create({
mongoose: mongoose.connection
})
`

Options

The following configuration options are available for the create() call:

* db String or Object - db name or instantiated node-mongo-native db object.
* collection String - collection name. Default is _sessions_.
* host String server hostname. Default is _127.0.0.1_.
* port Number - server port. Default is _27017_.
* username String - username. Default is _null_.
* password String - password. Default is _null_.
* auto_reconnect Boolean - gets passed to the node-mongo-native constructor as the same option. Default is _false_.
* ssl Boolean - use ssl to connect to the server. Default is _false_.
* expirationTime Number - time-to-live (TTL) in seconds for any given session data - MongoDB will auto-delete data which hasn't been updated for this amount of time. Default is 2 weeks.
* url String - connection URL of the form mongodb://user:pass@host:port/database/collection. If provided then this will take precedence over other options except mongoose.
mongoose Object - a Mongoose connection, use* mongoose.connection to get the connection out of an existing Mongoose object. If provided then this will take precedence over other options.

Cleaning up

You can close all connections made through the storage layer using:

`js
var Promise = require('bluebird');
var mongoStore = require('koa-session-mongo');

...

Promise.spawn(function() {
mongoStore.closeConnections();
});
