Nodejs中的会话管理

Question

I am beginner of NodeJS.And just started a simple project where I need a session management concept. So How to manage the session in NodeJS application.

In my project there is two file:- app.js and routes.js.

So where we add the session and how to add ??

app.js file :-

 var express = require('express'), app = express(), path = require('path'); app.set('views', path.join(__dirname , 'views')); app.engine('html', require('hogan-express')); app.set('view engine', 'html'); app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname,'public'))); require('./routes/routes.js')(express,app); app.listen (3000 , function(){ console.log("working on the Port 3000"); }); 

and routes.js file :-

 module.exports = function(express, app){ var router = express.Router(); router.get('/', function(req , res , next){ res.render('index',{title: 'Welcome'}); }); }

For the session management we need a middleware 'cookie-parser'.Previously it is the part of express but after express 4.0 and later it is a separate module.

So to access the cookie parser we need to install in our project as :

npm install cookie-parser --save

Then add this into your app.js file as :

 var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser'); app.use(cookieParser()); 

Then we reqired session module. So first of all install the session module by :

npm install express-session --save

Then to enable the session. we add below code in app.js file.

 app.use(session({secret:config.sessionSecret, saveUninitialized : true, resave : true})); 

Then come to the routes.js file :-

Let us suppose there is a session variable favColor. Now using session set the color and get in the other page. the code is look like :-

 router.get('/setColor', function(req , res , next){ req.session.favColor = 'Red'; res.send('Setting favourite color ...!'); }); router.get('/getColor', function(req , res , next){ res.send('Favourite Color : ' + (req.session.favColor == undefined?"NOT FOUND":req.session.favColor)); }); 

This is all about the session management.We can also learn more about the session :- This Reference

我不建议您尝试建立自己的会话并改用https://github.com/expressjs/session ，它可以很好地表达。

An update on 2019, using express-session 1.15.6 (From 1.5 there's no need to use cookie-parser , session can read and write the cookie directly.)

In app.js:

const app = express()
const session = require('express-session');
const options = {
  name: 'foo', // Default is connect.sid
  store: this.store, // Default is memoryStore, which is for dev only. Setup redis or memcached for prod
  secret: 'bar', // Required, used to sign session id cookie
  saveUninitialized: true, // Forces a session that is "uninitialized" to be saved to the store
  resave: false, //Forces the session to be saved back to the session store
  rolling: true //Force a session identifier cookie to be set on every response
};
// Session method will return a middleware function.
const middleware = session(options);
// Now we can make use of session in all the requests
app.use(middleware)

In routes.js or in any handler file created for specific route:

handler1(req, res, next) {
  req.session.someField = 'foo';
  // Use save method to update the store immediately, if there's other AJAX call pending. 
  req.session.save();
}

handler2(req, res, next) {
  console.log(req.session.someField); 
}

handler3(req, res, next) {
  // we use delete operator here.
  delete req.session.someField; 
}
