Connect Session Store using Sequelize

Build Status

connect-session-sequelize is a SQL session store using Sequelize.js.

Installation

Please note that the most recent version requires express 4. If you use express 3 you should install version 0.0.5 and follow the instructions in the previous README.

$ npm install connect-session-sequelize

Options

  • db a successfully connected Sequelize instance
  • table (optional) a table/model which has already been imported to your Sequelize instance, this can be used if you want to use a specific table in your db

Usage

With connect

var connect = require('connect')
    // for express, just call it with 'require('express-session').Store'
    , SequelizeStore = require('connect-session-sequelize')(connect.session.Store);
 
connect().use(connect.session({
    store: new SequelizeStore(options)
    , secret: 'CHANGEME'
}));

With express 4:

 
// load dependencies
var express = require('express')
var Sequelize = require('sequelize')
var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser')
var session = require('express-session');
 
// initalize sequelize with session store
var SequelizeStore = require('connect-session-sequelize')(session.Store);
 
// create database, ensure 'sqlite3' in your package.json
var sequelize = new Sequelize(
"database",
"username",
"password", {
    "dialect": "sqlite",
    "storage": "./session.sqlite"
});
 
// configure express
var app = express()
app.use(cookieParser())
app.use(session({
  secret: 'keyboard cat',
  store: new SequelizeStore({
    db: sequelize
  }),
  proxy: true // if you do SSL outside of node.
}))
// continue as normal

SequelizeStore.sync() - will run a sequelize sync() operation on the model for an initialized SequelizeStore object. Use this if you would like the the db table to be created for you.

Session expiry

Session records are automatically expired and removed from the database on an interval. The cookie.expires property is used to set session expiry time. If that property doesn't exist, a default expiry of 24 hours is used. Expired session are removed from the database every 15 minutes by default. That interval as well as the default expiry time can be set as store options:

new SequelizeStore({
  ...
  checkExpirationInterval: 15 * 60 * 1000, // The interval at which to cleanup expired sessions in milliseconds.
  expiration: 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000  // The maximum age (in milliseconds) of a valid session.
});
