koa-session Build Status

THIS MODULE RENAMED TO KOA-GENERIC-SESSION IN NPM.

session middlewares fro koa, easy use with custom stores such as redis, supports defer session getter.

This middleware will only set a cookie when a session is manually set. Each time the session is modified (and only when the is session modified), it will reset the cookie and session.

You can use the rolling sessions that will reset the cookie and session for every request which touch the session.

NPM

Usage

Example

 
var koa = require('koa');
var session = require('koa-sess');
var RedisStore = require('koa-redis');
 
var app = koa();
app.keys = ['keys', 'keykeys'];
app.use(session({
  store: new RedisStore()
}));
 
app.use(function *() {
  switch (this.path) {
  case '/get':
    get.call(this);
    break;
  case '/remove':
    remove.call(this);
    break;
  }
});
 
function get() {
  var session = this.session;
  session.count = session.count || 0;
  session.count++;
  this.body = session.count;
}
 
function remove() {
  this.session = null;
  this.body = 0;
}
 
app.listen(8080);
  • After adding session middleware, you can use this.session to set or get the sessions.
  • Setting this.session = null; will destroy this session.
  • Altering this.session.cookie changes the cookie options of this user. Also you can use the cookie options in session the store. Use for example cookie.maxage as the session store's ttl.

Options

 *`defer`: defers get session, only generate a session when you use it through `var session = yield this.session;`, defaults to `false`
 *`key`: cookie name defaulting to `koa.sid`
 *`prefix`: session prefix for store, defaulting to `koa:sess:`
 *`store`: session store instance
 *`cookie`: session cookie settings, defaults to
    {path: '/', httpOnly: true, maxage: null, rewrite: true, signed: true}
 * `rolling`: rolling session, always reset the cookie and sessions, defaults to `false`
 * `genSid`: default sid was generated by [uid2](https://github.com/coreh/uid2), you can pass a function to replace it
  • Store can be any Object that has the methods set, get, destroy like MemoryStore.
  • cookie defaulting to
{
  path: '/',
  httpOnly: true,
  maxage: null,
  rewrite: true,
  signed: true
}

For a full list of cookie options see jed/cookies.

Session Store

You can use any other store to replace the default MemoryStore, it just needs to follow this api:

  • get(sid): get session object by sid
  • set(sid, sess, ttl): set session object for sid, with a ttl (in ms)
  • destroy(sid): destory session for sid

the api needs to return a Promise, Thunk or generator.

And use these events to report the store's status.

  • connect
  • disconnect

You can use koa-redis to store your session data with redis.
