connect-sequelize

Connect Session Store for Sequelize

connect-sequelize is a SQL session store using Sequelize.

IMPORTANT

NOTE this module was in large part derived from Michael Weibel's "connect-session-sequelize" unfortunately there were a few gotchas that needed to be worked out, along with a need to be able to pass any Model options as you would normally with Sequelize. Hence the original module was modified to suit those needs.

With that said big thanks to Michael Weibel for the awesome work would be appropriate!

It is important to note that the signature is slightly different. see below.

connect-sequelize takes three arguments.

• db the sequelize connection.
• options an object containing any model options (optional).
• modelName the name of the model. (optional).

Installation

$ npm install connect-sequelize

Requirements

Express 4.x or greater.

Options

see Sequelize Docs all Model define options are available. for example you may wish to specify the tableName explicitly or change updatedAt and createdAt, a brief example below.

NOTE the default table name is the model name if provided or "Session". If you wish to have the table name be something other than the provided model name or session, you can specify as described below. This is useful if you wanted your model name to be "Session" but you have some convention for your table names such as express_session.

{
    updatedAt: 'modifiedAt'
    tableName: 'Session' // creates table exactly as specified.
    freezeTableName: true // prevents table name from being pluralized.
}

In addition you can specify a 'callback' in options that takes a function with one argument ("error"). The callback is triggered when database model was synchronized with the database.

Usage

With connect

var connect = require('connect')
    // for express, just call it with 'require('express-session').Store
    SequelizeStore = require('connect-sequelize')(connect.session.Store);
 
connect().use(connect.session({
    store: new SequelizeStore(db, options, modelName),
    secret: 'CHANGEME'
}));

With express 4:

// load dependencies
var express = require('express'),
    Sequelize = require('sequelize'),
    cookieParser = require('cookie-parser'),
    session = require('express-session');
 
// initalize sequelize with session store
var SequelizeStore = require('connect-sequelize')(session),
    modelName = 'Session',
    options = {
        // our options if any. see above for example.
    };
 
// create database, ensure 'sqlite3' in your package.json
var db = new Sequelize(
    "database",
    "username",
    "password", {
        "dialect": "sqlite",
        "storage": "./session.sqlite"
});
 
// configure express
var app = express()
app.use(cookieParser())
app.use(session({
  secret: 'keyboard cat',
  store: new SequelizeStore(db, options, modelName),
  proxy: true // if you do SSL outside of node.
}));
// continue as normal
