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 can handle the session in two-way.

1. Using express-session
2. Using JWT web token and handle own session(Token Based Session handling).

I think token based session handling is more important rather than using express-session. You will get a problem when you scale your server and also a problem some single device login situation.
