Express JS Save Session on Restart

Question

I am trying to restart and maintain a session using nodemon, but when I restart, the session is destroyed .. I wonder if there is a way to continue living with nodemon or another node js library session.

scripts ": {//" Start ":" node./bin/www "" start ":" nodemon./bin/www "}

thank you for your time

Answer 1

To save a session, there are two approaches:

• Use some persistent storage

• Use JSON Tokens

To implement a persistent session, you can use the MongoDB session store or the Redis session store.

If you want to use redis, use the connect-redis npm package. If you want to use MongoDb as a session repository, use the connect-mongo npm package

There are several settings that you need to make in the app.js / server.js application. In one of my demos, I use the Redis Session store with PassportJS, if you are looking for an example, feel free to look here .

If you want to use JSON tags for websites , many different implementations are available. I am using jsonwebtoken . I implemented this using PassportJS, ExpressJS and AngularJS in front of End. For example, look here . Tokens are encoded and stored in the local storage of the browser using a secret key.

I would suggest you go for JSON tokens, read it in detail, because this is how most major web applications develop. Let me know if you need more help.

Your session is good only until the process disappears. Then it is destroyed. You should use a persistent storage engine or a simple solution:

It may not be a good long-term solution, but it will help you get started.
