ciaranj / express-session-mongodb Goto Github PK

Hi,

I didn't know where to put this (Github confuses me) so I have put it here. In your code you have:

createSessionFromDocument: function(doc) {
var session= new Session.Base(doc.id.toHexString());
//TODO: do a proper deep merge.
for(var prop in doc) {
var val= doc[prop]
// Fixup the 64bit+ numbers
if( val["low"] && val["high"] ) session[prop]=val.toNumber()
else session[prop]=val;
}
return session;
},

But I'm not sure what the heigh and low values actually do and are there for and what the Base function does. I was hoping you could explain what they do. Thanks :)

Hi,

I tried to install the tarball both over http and via file itself. I'm gonna post this on npm's issues next.

I'm a node.js and npm noob so far so go easy. I wasn't sure if the problem was in the tar or npm.

Thanks!
Paul

npm not ok

self.session["something"] = "thething";

how do I kill that session later?
I tried
self.session.destroy;
self.session.destroy(self.session["sid"]);

Hi, I have recently changed my app to use the new express version, however as I was using this as a plugin. As it is using connect middleware now I am not sure how the file needs to be adjusted to work on the new express. Can this be adjusted to accommodate the new code easily?

I get the this error when I'm trying to use this ?

Id cannot be longer than 12 bytes

I guess it's because express's session id's are 28 bytes long when in hex ?
