'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

Had the same problem, however it was caused by changes in the latest version of express.

You now need to pass express-session to the function connect-redis exports to extend session.Store:

var express = require('express');
var session = require('express-session')
var RedisStore = require('connect-redis')(session);
