MySQL Session Store for Connect and Express
===========================================
This session store makes use of the db-mysql package. It will create a table called '_mysql_session_store' in your database and store the sessions there.
Usage:
npm install mysql-session-store
var MySQLSessionStore = require ("mysql-session-store");
new MySQLSessionStore(connect, options);
The options are passed to db-mysql for connection creation. Please refer to their docs for these. There is a cleanup process that runs every minute to remove old sessions. This can be changed to a more suitable type by using the *checkUpInterval* option - it's in milliseconds. Set it to -1 to not remove old sessions.
Example:
var express = require("express"),
app = express.createServer(),
MySQLSessionStore = require ("mysql-session-store");
app.use(express.session({
store: new MySQLSessionStore(express, {
user: '<database username>',
password: '<database password>',
database: '<database name>',
hostname: '<server hostname>'
}),
secret: '<secret cookie>',
cookie: { maxAge: 4 * 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000 } // 4 weeks
}));
