Get user id socket.io, passport, koa

Question

I\'m using Koa, Passport.js and koa-session to authenticate users. So it basically looks like:

// session
var session = require(\'koa-session\');
app.keys = [con         


        

Answer 1

I used a regex to grab the userId and found then in my database. Not the cleanest approach but it works well. I'm just using koa-session-store as my session with passport js.

  var cookies = socket.request.headers.cookie;
  var regEx = /passport"\:\{"user"\:"(.+?)"\}/g
  var userIdMatches = regEx.exec(cookies);
