Connect-session-mongo NPM

MongoDB Session Storage for Connect Middleware

This module is an addon for Connect Middleware that adds a new Session Storage device.

Install

npm install connect-session-mongo

Usage

The standard usage, is to just pass an instantiated MongoStore instance to the session plugin.

var connect = require('connect'),
    MongoStore = require('connect-session-mongo');

var app = connect.createServer();

app.configure(function(){
    app.use(connect.cookieDecoder());
    app.use(connect.session({ store: new MongoStore() }));
    app.use(app.router);
});

You can also pass several options to the constructor to tweak your session store:

db - The name of the db to use, defaults to: connect-sessions
ip - The IP address of the server to connect to, defaults to: 127.0.0.1
port - The Port to connect to, defaults to: 27017
collection - The collection to save its data to, defaults to: sessions
server - A custom mongo Server instance (this overides db, ip & port)
url - A url to use for Db.connect style database connections (this overrides db, ip, port & server)

An optional callback function(err, connectedDb) can also be passed to the constructor after the options.
