Memcached session store forked from using connect-memcached, using memjs as the underlying memcached client.
This enables faster binary transport and authentication, which is needed to use the Memcachier service.
Many thanks to balor who wrote the original implementation - this module simply swaps out the memcached client.
via npm:
$ npm install connect-memjs
/**
* Module dependencies.
*/
var express = require('express')
, session = require('express-session')
, favicon = require('serve-favicon')
, logger = require('morgan')
, cookieParser = require('cookie-parser')
, http = require('http')
, app = express();
// pass the express to the connect memcached module
// allowing it to inherit from express.session.Store
var MemcachedStore = require('connect-memjs')(session);
app.use(favicon());
// request logging
app.use(logger());
// required to parse the session cookie
app.use(cookieParser());
// Populates:
// - req.session
// - req.sessionStore
// - req.sessionID (or req.session.id)
var store = new MemcachedStore({servers: ['127.0.0.1:1121'], username: 'liam', password: 'hunter2'});
app.use(session({
secret: 'CatOnTheKeyboard',
store:
}));
app.get('/', function(req, res){
if (req.session.views) {
++req.session.views;
} else {
req.session.views = 1;
}
res.send('Viewed <strong>' + req.session.views + '</strong> times.');
});
http.createServer(app).listen(3000, function(){
console.log('Express app started on port 3000');
});
- `servers` Memcached servers locations, as an array of strings.
- `username` An optional username to authenticate with
- `password` An optional password to authenticate with
- `prefix` An optional prefix for each memcache key, in case you are sharing
your memcached servers with something generating its own keys.
- ... Rest of given option will be passed directly to the node-memcached constructor.
