connect-mongolotion

MongoDB session store for Connect (NOW WITH MORE LOTION FOR EASIER INSERTION)

This is forked from connect-mongo; all the swearing is my own. Please don't complain to Casey if you're offended. Unless he offended you. Then complain to him. I'm not bothering to maintain the tests. Fuck programming.

Installation

connect-mongolotion will just fucking work, unlike you, you lazy shit.

via npm:

npm install connect-mongolotion

Options

The options are the same as those for the second parameter of mongoskin.db, except that we pull out the url and defaultValidityPeriod parameters for quite predictable purposes.

Example

var connect = require("connect"),
    MongoStore = require("connect-mongolotion");
 
app.use(express.session({
  secret: settings.cookie_secret,
  store: new MongoStore({
    url: "localhost:12345/mydatabase",
  }),
}));

Removing expired sessions

connect-mongolotion uses MongoDB's TTL collection feature (2.2+) to have mongod automatically remove expired sessions. (mongod runs this check every minute.)

Note: By connect/express's default, session cookies are set to expire when the user closes their browser (maxAge: null). In accordance with standard industry practices, connect-mongolotion will set these sessions to expire two weeks from their last "set". You can override this behavior by manually setting the maxAge for your cookies -- just keep in mind that any value less than 60 seconds is pointless, as mongod will only delete expired documents in a TTL collection every minute.
