How to end a session in ExpressJS

Question

I feel like this has to be buried somewhere in the documentation, but I can\'t find it.

How do you close or end or kill (whatever) a session in ExpressJS?

Answer 1

The question didn't clarify what type of session store was being used. Both answers seem to be correct.

For cookie based sessions:

From http://expressjs.com/api.html#cookieSession

req.session = null // Deletes the cookie.

For Redis, etc based sessions:

req.session.destroy // Deletes the session in the database.
