express-session-rethinkdb-esm

RethinkDB database adapter for express-session middleware for ExpressJS.

Thank you to everyone writing express-session drivers out there for the boilerplate and inspiration.

Note: Sessions are not vacuumed by the adapter like some of the others out there (setInterval and friends). Pull requests welcome :)

Installation

npm install express-session-rethinkdb-esm --save

Constructor Options

client: Required -- RethinkDB import.

conn: Required -- RethinkDB database connection.

table: RethinkDB table to store sessions in (default: sessions).

ttl: Time in milliseconds to expire sessions (default: two weeks).

Usage

// rethinkdb
import r from 'rethinkdb'
const rc = await r.connect({ host })

// express
import express from 'express'
import session from 'express-session'
import _init_rdb_express_session_store from 'express-session-rethinkdb-esm'

const app = express()
const RethinkdbSessionStore = await _init_rdb_express_session_store({ session })

app.use( session({
    store: new RethinkdbSessionStore({ client: r, conn: rc })
})

Wait on Readiness

Using the ready property to wait for store initialization. Store will ensure the table table is created and has a secondary index for expires if not already.

// Thennable
rethinkdbSessionStoreInstance.ready.then( async () => {
    await rethinkdbSessionStoreInstance.vacuum()
})

// Async/Await
await rethinkdbSessionStoreInstance.ready
await rethinkdbSessionStoreInstance.vacuum()
