nestjs-cookie-session
Idiomatic Cookie Session Module for NestJS. Built on top of cookie-session 😎
This module implements a session with storing data directly in Cookie
.
If you want to store data in one of external stores and passing ID of session to client via Cookie
/Set-Cookie
headers, you can look at nestjs-session.
Example
Register module:
// app.module.ts
import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import {
NestCookieSessionOptions,
CookieSessionModule,
} from 'nestjs-cookie-session';
import { ViewsController } from './views.controller';
@Module({
imports: [
// sync params:
CookieSessionModule.forRoot({
session: { secret: 'keyboard cat' },
}),
// or async:
CookieSessionModule.forRootAsync({
imports: [ConfigModule],
inject: [Config],
// TIP: to get autocomplete in return object
// add `NestCookieSessionOptions` here ↓↓↓
useFactory: async (config: Config): Promise<NestCookieSessionOptions> => {
return {
session: { secret: config.secret },
};
},
}),
],
controllers: [ViewsController],
})
export class AppModule {}
Use in controllers with NestJS built-in Session
decorator:
// views.controller.ts
import { Controller, Get, Session } from '@nestjs/common';
@Controller('views')
export class ViewsController {
@Get()
getViews(@Session() session: { views?: number }) {
session.views = (session.views || 0) + 1;
return session.views;
}
}

API
CookieSessionModule
CookieSessionModule
class has two static methods, that returns DynamicModule
, that you need to import:
-
CookieSessionModule.forRoot
for sync configuration without dependencies -
CookieSessionModule.forRootAsync
for sync/async configuration with dependencies
CookieSessionModule.forRoot
Accept NestCookieSessionOptions
. Returns NestJS DynamicModule
for import.
CookieSessionModule.forRootAsync
Accept NestCookieSessionAsyncOptions
. Returns NestJS DynamicModule
for import.
NestCookieSessionOptions
NestCookieSessionOptions
is the interface of all options, has next properties:
-
session
- required - cookie-session options. -
forRoutes
- optional - same as NestJS built-inMiddlewareConfigProxy['forRoutes']
See examples in official docs. Specify routes, that should have access to session. IfforRoutes
andexclude
will not be set, then sessions will be set to all routes. -
exclude
- optional - same as NestJS built-inMiddlewareConfigProxy['exclude']
See examples in official docs. Specify routes, that should not have access to session. IfforRoutes
andexclude
will not be set, then sessions will be set to all routes.
NestCookieSessionAsyncOptions
NestCookieSessionOptions
is the interface of options to create cookie session module, that depends on other modules, has next properties:
-
imports
- optional - modules, that cookie session module depends on. See official docs. -
inject
- optional - providers fromimports
-property modules, that will be passed as arguments touseFactory
method. -
useFactory
- required - method, that returnsNestCookieSessionOptions
.
Migration
v2
cookie-session
and @types/cookie-session
are moved to peer dependencies, so you can update them independently.
