Express does not work

Question

Has session support been removed from express, or is there a new command? I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. This is the result of trying to use it.

Answer 1

Yes you are right. Many resellers have been removed from Express 4, including the session. Therefore, -s is no longer part of the express command. Here are some of the remote environments:

basicAuth()
bodyParser()
compress()
cookieParser()
cookieSession()
csrf()
directory()

Here is an example of how to add session support for expression 4 using a midseware cookie session:

var express = require('express');
var session = require('cookie-session');

var app = express();

app.use(session({
  keys: ['key1', 'key2'],
  secureProxy: true // if you do SSL outside of node
}));
