Provides a TypeORM store for storing and retrieving a session.

Requirements

This package requires:

Install

npm i nestjs-session-store

Usage

Create User and Session entities

TypeormStore requires User and Session entities. Create classes for these:

import { UserEntity } from 'nestjs-session-store';

@Entity()
export class User implements UserEntity {
    ...
}

import { SessionEntity } from 'nestjs-session-store';

@Entity()
export class Session implements SessionEntity {
    ...
}

Create TypeormStore instance in a function in main.ts and call it in bootstrap.

Import TypeormStore, instantiate and bootstrap it.

import { TypeormStore } from 'nestjs-session-store';

async function bootstrap() {
...
    setupSession(app);

    await app.listen(3000);
}

function setupSession(app) {
    const configService = new ConfigService();
    const serverConfig = configService.getConfig('server');
    app.use(cookieParser(serverConfig.secretSession));

    const expires = new Date(
        new Date().getTime() +
        Number(serverConfig.expiryDays) * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000, // 24 hrs * 60 min * 60 sec * 1000 ms
    );

    const cookie = {
        maxAge: Number(serverConfig.cookieMaxAge),
        httpOnly: false,
        secure: true,
        expires,
    };

    if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production') cookie.secure = false;

    const sessionConfig = {
        name: serverConfig.sessionName,
        secret: serverConfig.secretSession,
        store: new TypeormStore({
        sessionService: getRepository(Session),
        userService: getRepository(User),
        }),
        cookie,
        saveUninitialized: false,
        resave: false,
        // unset: 'destroy'
    };

    app.use(expressSession(sessionConfig));
    app.use(passport.initialize());
    app.use(passport.session());
}
