Node.js server restart drops the sessions

Question

I\'m having fully functional user signup/authentication system using express and connect middleware.

app.use(express.session({store: require(\'connect\').ses         


        

Answer 1

also, if you're using express, you need to provide a secret when telling the app to use the redis middleware.

so, follow Alfred's recipe above, but do the following...

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

app.use( express.cookieParser() );
app.use( express.session( { secret: "keyboard cat", store: new RedisStore }));
