@aex/session

Generic Node.js Session

This package is created for Aex, but it is useful for Node.js http callback.

Install

npm install @aex/session
# or
yarn add @aex/session

Usage

MemoryStore

import { MemoryStore, Cookie } from "@aex/session";
import * as http from "http";
const store = new MemoryStore();
const cookie = new Cookie(store);
const scope: any = {};
const server = http
  .createServer(function (req: any, res: any) {
    cookie.parse(req, res, scope).then(() => {
      scope.session.user = "alice";
      res.write("Hello World!");
      res.end();
    });
  })
  .listen(port);

RedisStore

RedisStore uses node-redis and takes exactly what createClient takes which described here;

import { RedisStore, Cookie } from "@aex/session";
import * as http from "http";
const store = new RedisStore();
const cookie = new Cookie(store);
const scope: any = {};
const server = http
  .createServer(function (req: any, res: any) {
    cookie.parse(req, res, scope).then(() => {
      scope.session.user = "alice";
      res.write("Hello World!");
      res.end();
    });
  })
  .listen(port);

scope is optional. If scope is not provided, session will be attached to req, make sure session is request specific even scope can be global.
