How to store data from session using Express-session

Question

Here is my function:

exports.dashboard = function(req, res ,next) {


console.log(req.session);
var userForCheck =  req.session.user_name;
console.log(user);
}

in my console screen it's printed out req.session like this :

Sess {
 cookie:
  { path: '/',
   _expires: 2018-11-16T03:18:31.896Z,
   originalMaxAge: 59999,
  httpOnly: true }
user: { user_name: 'given001', password: '123' } }

but the user variable is

 undefinded

how can i store user_name in userForCheck variable without undefined?

Answer 1

Actually it should be like,

var userForCheck =  req.session.user.user_name;

Hope this helps!
