Maintain session on two routers

  • 772

I have 2 routers, for the example

router1 

app.post('/consultas', function (req, res) {

    req.session.nombre = 'administrador';
   console.log('prueba',req.session.nombre); // ahi la session se guarda bien
});

router2

router.get('/', function (req, res) {
    console.log('recuperar session   ', req.session);// sale undefined
}

How can I get the session on both routers?

javascript

  1. Seeing your logic you could save the session in a middleware and in the two routes apply the middleware already created there you will obtain the saved data of the user so you can put your middleware in your route

    function mymiddleware(req,res,next){
  req.session.nombre='MiNOMBRE';
}

    req.session.name here all requests that use this middleware will have access to req.session.name

    app.get('/miroute1',mymiddleware,(req,res) => {
      console.log(req.session.nombre);
         }
app.get('/miroute2',mymiddleware,(req,res) => {
      console.log(req.session.nombre);
         }

    a little more explained here

    I solved it with cookieSession

    app.set('trust proxy', 1);
app.use(cookieSession({
                    name: 'session'
                    , secret: randomstring.generate()
                    , httpOnly: true
                    , maxAge: 30 * 60 * 1000
                    , secure: false
                    , overwrite: false
              }));


app.use('/', routes);
app.use('/session', session);

    Note : It must be in that order for the routes to get the session from the server.

    The use can be used like this (it is not necessary middlewares), saving in the session variable

    app.post('/consultas', function (req, res) {

    req.session.nombre = 'administrador';
   console.log('prueba',req.session.nombre); // ahi la session se guarda bien
});

    and in the other routes the session variable is available to use
