How do I get sessions working with Node.
js,
[email protected] and mongodb? I'm now trying to use connect-mongo like this:
var config = require('../config'),
express = require('express'),
MongoStore = require('connect-mongo'),
server = express.createServer();
server.configure(function() {
server.use(express.logger());
server.use(express.methodOverride());
server.use(express.static(config.staticPath));
server.use(express.bodyParser());
server.use(express.cookieParser());
server.use(express.session({
store: new MongoStore({
db: config.db
}),
secret: config.salt
}));
});
server.configure('development', function() {
server.use(express.errorHandler({
dumpExceptions: true,
showStack: true
}));
});
server.configure('production', function() {
server.use(express.errorHandler());
});
server.set('views', __dirname + '/../views');
server.set('view engine', 'jade');
server.listen(config.port);
I'm then, in a server.get callback trying to use
req.session.
test = 'hello';
to store that value in the session, but it's not stored between the requests.
It probobly takes something more that this to store session values, how? Is there a better documented module than connect-mongo?
