Retrieving connection pool from Knex (to share it with express-mysql-session)

Question

I've got knex configured to use MySQL with pooling:

var knex = require("knex")({
    client: "mysql",
    connection: {
        host: ...,
        user: ...,
        password: ...,
        database: ...
    },
    pool: {
        min: 0,
        max: 20
    }
});

I'm also using express-session and I'm planning on a switch to express-mysql-session for the store.

So, I want to use the connection pool that knex creates, so I can use the same pool for all DB access.

Is there any way to get a connection pool from knex that I can pass to the MySQL session store constructor? Or some other way to use the same pool for everything?

Answer 1

It's not possible, I filed a feature request at https://github.com/tgriesser/knex/issues/1824 .

A suggestion given there for my particular use case was to perhaps create an express-knex-session module, which I am going to do as soon as I can. I will update this with a link when I do.
