#connect-parse

This is a simple session store for connect using Parse.

It uses the parse npm module, which you are probably using already as a data storage for your project.

Installation

$ npm install connect-parse

Options

A Parse client is required. An existing client can be passed directly using the client option or created for you using parseAppId and parseJavascriptKey options.

• client An existing, initialised Parse client created using parse npm module;
• parseAppId, parseJavascriptKey your Parse Application ID and JavaScript key. Could be omitted if initialised Parse client is passed via client option;

The following additional params may be included:

• ttl Session TTL (Time to live) expiration in seconds. Defaults to cookie.maxAge if set, or to 86400 seconds (1 day);
• parseClassName Class name to store sessions in Parse. Defaults to Session.

Usage

We pass express-session to required connect-parse module exports in order to extend default connect session.Store:

var session = require('express-session');
var ParseStore = require('connect-parse')(session);

var Parse = require('parse').Parse;
Parse.initialize('PARSE_APPLICATION_ID', 'PARSE_JAVASCRIPT_KEY');

app.use(session({
  secret: process.env.SESSION_SECRET,
  store: new ParseStore({
    client: Parse
  }),
  resave: true,
  saveUninitialized: true
}));
