Usage

For a list of valid connectOptions, see the typings for rethinkdb-ts. Additionally, you can pass an already existing store via the 2nd paramater.

// If you're using TS/ESM
import { RethinkDBStore } from "session-rethinkdb-ts";
import express from "express";
import session from "express-session";

// ...or if you're not, use this instead!
// const { RethinkDBStore } = require("session-rethinkdb-ts");
// const express = require("express");
// const session = require("express-session");

const app = express();

// Creates the store
const store = new RethinkDBStore({
  // RethinkDB connection options.
  connectOptions: {
    db: "db",
  },
  sessionTable: "session", // RethinkDB table to store session info to. Defaults to "session".
  sessionTimeout: 86400000, // How long a session ID is valid for. Defaults to 1 day.
  flushTimeout: 60000, // How long to wait before flushing data. Defaults to 1 minute.
});

// Uses express session with the store
// Valid options: https://github.com/expressjs/session#sessionoptions
app.use(session({
  store: store,
  saveUninitialized: false,
}));

// The rest of your Express server code...
