So if any client side storage like cookie and any persistent database are not allowed to be used. How would you persist data from user input in a Node.js server? array is not an option as users should only see their own input. I thought of using session(express-session), but it essentially uses cookies correct?

You can probably use local storage.
This package seems interesting: node-localstorage

  • hmm thanks but i dont think client side storage is an option. – shangsunset Dec 18 '16 at 19:18
  • Glad to help. So maybe storing data in a text file on the server? And you know, cookies are client side too... I suggest you to make your question more clear with some more explanations of what you try to achiev. – TGrif Dec 18 '16 at 19:36
  • thanks. I thought about using file but how would you keep a user's data associated to themselves? if user A types 'Hello A', only user A can see 'Hello A'. – shangsunset Dec 19 '16 at 02:25
  • You could use JSON to store and structure your data. Just a simple function may parse it and find your user. – TGrif Dec 19 '16 at 08:36
