The session of my nodejs app is expiring every time I refresh the page, after login. It does work fine if I visit different pages but as soon as I refresh the page, the session ends. I've tried a couple of things but none of it seems to work. How can I keep it from expiring even after the page refresh? If I can store session in the database or someplace else to keep it from expiring.
Here are the files
