Connect-mongodb NPM

connect-mongodb

connect-mongodb is a mongoDB session store backed by node-mongodb-native.

Originally written by dvv

Version 1.*

This version is not compatible with 0.* versions. Now you must pass a mongodb connection, or server configuration. On updating, i recomment to delete your current sessions collection data.

Installation

via npm:

$ npm install connect-mongodb

Options

To start connect-mongodb, you have to pass instances of select node-mongodb-native classes, thus permitting the usage of existing connections or server configurations.

Using an existing connection:

db Existing connection/database reference (instance of mongodb.Db)

Or with a server configuration:

server_config Existing server configuration (may be an instance of either mongodb.Server, mongodb.ServerPair, mongodb.ServerCluster, mongodb.ReplSetServers) - review node-mongodb-native docs.

Other options:

collection MongoDB collection to host sessions. 'sessions' by default
reapInterval ms to check expired sessions to remove on db
username To authenticate your db connection
password To authenticate your db connection

Example

You have a complete example on example/index.js.

var connect = require('connect')
  , Db = require('mongodb').Db
  , Server = require('mongodb').Server
  , server_config = new Server('localhost', 27017, {auto_reconnect: true, native_parser: true})
  , db = new Db('test', server_config, {})
  , mongoStore = require('connect-mongodb');

connect.createServer(
  connect.bodyParser(),
  connect.cookieParser(),
  connect.session({
    cookie: {maxAge: 60000 * 20} // 20 minutes
  , secret: 'foo'
  , store: new mongoStore({db: db})
  })
);
