使用node.js客户端会话而不使用express

Question

I'm trying to get client-sessions to work without using express but I'm not sure if I'm porting the example correctly.

var sessionOptions = { cookieName: 'mySession', secret: 'blargadeeblargblarg', duration: 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000, activeDuration: 1000 * 60 * 5 }; var session = new SESSION(request, response, {}, sessionOptions);

When I run this client-sessions complains

cannot set up sessions without a secret or encryptionKey/signatureKey pair

Does client-sessions need express to work?

Answer 1

From https://github.com/mozilla/node-client-sessions :

client-sessions is connect middleware

So while it might not need express , it needs connect to work as per the docs.

The specific error though, is because you aren't using the library correctly. You need to configure a session before using it.

var sessions = require("client-sessions");

var session = sessions({
  cookieName: 'mySession',
  secret: 'blargadeeblargblarg', 
  duration: 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000, 
  activeDuration: 1000 * 60 * 5
});

// then inside route handler..
session(req, res, function(){ console.log('done!'); });
