Session store

Problem with session

Session is created when a browser first reachs to a backend. And browser only gets the sessionID. Problem is that the default server-side session storage is a MoemoryStore. Means it is volatile. It will perish whenever the backend restart or the server dies. (Not designed for a product environment)

connect-mongo

Saves the session in the mongoDB.

1. Install connect-mongo package through terminal
   npm i connect-mongo
2. Import MongoStore in the server.js
   import MongoStore from "connect-mongo";
3. Write command lines on the app.use(session)

app.use(session({
    secret: "Hello",
    resave: true,
    saveUninitialized: true,
    store: MongoStore.create({mongoUrl: "mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/youtubeclone"}),
})
);

• This creates a sessions db in our MongoDB.
• When a browser interact with the backend, the sessionID given to the browser will be stored in the db.
