Simple Impl of Server with Session - ON HIATUS

Last updated: 20/12/2021
Tech: TS + Express + express-session + connect-mongo (for session store)

Run

• npm i
• npm run build
• npm start

Notes

• Code structure
  • /config: vars for server, mongodb options, express-session options and a method to connect to Mongo
  • /middlewares: contains logic code to handle respective routes
  • /routes: simple routes for testing
  • /utils: just a way to inject props to req.session without declare merge
    • See this

Manual test - 20/12/2021

• session obj is saved and can be seen at Mongo Atlas
  • can save custom props inside the session obj, e.g: {"cookie":{"originalMaxAge":29999,"expires":"2021-12-20T20:29:09.328Z","secure":false,"httpOnly":false,"path":"/","sameSite":"lax"},"userId":"1"}
  • session is auto del based on connect-mongo using TTL ?
• client receives a cookie contains sessionID
  • tested on Postman & a simple React form
  • if client cookie is decay, can see new cookie be updated
  • e.g: s%3A6c26jOB0_JNzfLvi8OU5QIUw-Yf4Of5L.BmmxNCpoBK1b1hG4M7lZXmlYzuGMQ8XXiL5hfka3tPA
• receives from client a HTTP req with the Set-Cookie header attri ?
  • use that to authN user to protected routes
