express-session-with-placeholder v0.0.4

express-session-with-placeholder

Simple fork of express-session which adds a placeholder in the cookie in order to store additional information you do not want to store server-side.

Installation

This is a Node.js module available through the npm registry. Installation is done using the npm install command:

$ npm install express-session-with-placeholder

Usage

You can use this package as the real express-session. To use the placeholder just store your data in req.placeholder.

app.post('/sign-in', (req, res) => {
  // ...

  req.placeholder = 'foo';
  res.end();
});

Your placeholder is now stored in req.placeholder if the cookie is correctly set.

app.get('/bar', (req, res) => {
  if (res.placeholder !== 'foo') {
    return res.status(403).end();
  }
  return res.end('bar');
});
