Connect-Hermod

Hermod Store for Express-session

An extension for Node.js applications that allows storage of express-sessions on a Hermod In-Memory DBMS.

Installation

npm i connect-hermod

How to set up

// Requiring package  
const session = require("express-session")
const HermodStore = require("connect-hermod")(session)

// Session setup  
app.use(session({
  secret: 'aye',
  resave: false,
  store: new HermodStore({ server: *hostname*, deltoken: *token*, dbname: *dbname* })
  saveUninitialized: false,
  cookie: { secure: true }
}))

Where:

• hostname has to be changed to the correct hostname available to the node.js instance to connect to the Hermod server which must be available on port 2088
• token must be the same that was set in the host configuration files
• *dbname is the name of the table that does or will hold all the sessions data in the Host
