This package adds support for sessions to the Curveball framework. The session store is backed by Redis, therefore having an accessable Redis server is a prerequisite.
npm install @curveball/session-redis
import session from '@curveball/session';
import { RedisStore } from '@curveball/session-redis';
app.use(session({
store: new RedisStore(),
});
This will add the redis session store to curveball. Using the redis store without any options will attempt to connect to a local Redis server using default connection details.
Here is another example with more options:
import session from '@curveball/session';
import RedisStore from '@curveball/session-redis';
app.use(session({
store: new RedisStore({
prefix: 'mysess',
clientOptions: {
url: 'redis://username:password@host:port/',
},
}),
cookieName: 'MY_SESSION',
expiry: 7200
});
clientOptions
is the set of options for the Redis client. The list of
available clientOptions
can be found on the NodeRedis/node_redis
repository.
Instead of passing clientOptions
, it's also possible to pass a fully setup
isntance of RedisClient. This can be useful if the same connection should be
re-used by a different part of your application:
import session from '@curveball/session';
import RedisStore from '@curveball/session-redis';
import { createClient } from 'redis';
const redis = createClient('redis://localhost');
app.use(session({
store: new RedisStore({
prefix: 'mysess',
client: redis
})
cookieName: 'MY_SESSION',
expiry: 7200
});
