require("./startup/passport/passport-setup")();
require("./startup/logging")();
require("./startup/validation")();
//require("./startup/db")();
require("./startup/prod")(app);
require("./routes/index")(app);

app.use(
  session({
    secret: 'keyboard cat',//process.env.SESSION_KEY,// Used to compute a hash
    resave: false,
    saveUninitialized: false,
    store: new MongoStore({ mongooseConnection: mongoose.connection }),// Store session on DB
  })

After: Correct

app.use(
  session({

    store: new MongoStore({ mongooseConnection: mongoose.connection }),// Store session on DB
  })
);

require("./startup/cors")(app);
require("./startup/passport/passport-setup")();
require("./startup/logging")();
require("./startup/validation")();
//require("./startup/db")();
require("./startup/prod")(app);
require("./routes/index")(app);
