'session' is undefined when using express / redis for session store

Question

I\'m trying to use redis for sessions in my express app.

I do the following:

var express = require(\'express\');
var RedisStore = require(\'connect-r         


        

Answer 1

Sessions won't work unless you have these 3 in this order:

app.use(express.cookieParser());
app.use(express.session());
app.use(app.router);

I'm not sure if router is mandatory to use sessions, but it breaks them if it's placed before them.
