mongoose-express-session-beta v0.0.6

Mongoose Store

A simple http://www.senchalabs.org/connect/session.html#exports.Store implementation using http://mongoosejs.com/ to persist to a https://www.mongodb.org/ data store.

Usage

var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var Store = require('express-session').Store;
var MongooseStore = require('mongoose-express-session')(Store);

var thirtyDaysToSecs = 2592000

app.use(require('express-session')({
    secret: 'keyboard cat',
    resave: false,
    rolling: false,
    saveUninitialized: true,
    store: new MongooseStore({
        /* configuration */
        connection: 'mongodb://localhost/connect-sessions',
	    mongoose: mongoose,
	    sessionLifespan: thirtyDaysToSecs,
	    modelName: 'Session'
    })
}));

The configuration properties require one of:

• connection as an already connected mongoose instance:

    var mongoose = require('mongoose');
    mongoose.connect('http://server/db');
    new MongooseStore({connection: mongoose});

• mongoose instance and a connection string

    var mongoose = require('mongoose');
    new MongooseStore({connection: 'http://server/sessions', mongoose: mongoose});

• mongoose as an already connected mongoose instance without the connection string

    var mongoose = require('mongoose');
    mongoose.connect('http://server/db');
    new MongooseStore({mongoose: mongoose});

When just supplying mongoose, the default connection string mongodb://localhost/connect-sessions will be used, allowing for connecting the session model without impacting the application database.

• store instead of passing the Store constructor up-front, it can also be passed into the configuration

    var MongooseStore = require('mongoose-express-session')();
    var mongooseStore = new MongooseStore({
        mongoose: mongoose,
        store: require('express-session').Store
    });

These are optional properties of configuration

• sessionLifespan as an expiry of session on the store

If it doesn't given as a configuration, the default number 60 * 20 will be used.

• modelName as an name of model where Session will be stored.

If it doesn't given as a configuration, the default string Session will be used.
