Package Exports

session-file-store

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (session-file-store) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Usage

Express or Connect integration

Due to express >= 4 changes, we need to pass express-session to the function session-file-store exports in order to extend session.Store:

var session = require('express-session');
var FileStore = require('session-file-store')(session);

app.use(session({
    store: new FileStore(options),
    secret: 'keyboard cat'
}));
