Sessions in Node JS

Question

How can I maintain my SESSIONS in Node JS ? E.g I want to store UserID in SESSION using Node Js. How can I do that in Node JS ? And can I use that Node JS SESSION in PHP too

Answer 1

You could use express-session middleware. Combine it with connect-redis or connect-mongo to store your sessions inside a database and save memory if memory is valuable to you (like in a cloud setup).

https://www.npmjs.com/package/express-sessions

If you store it in say mongodb , use php mongo driver to pick it up from there.
