I am trying to use session in my app, to keep track on user log-in and more.
But...
When I tried using the simplest way, I kept getting the error :
Warning: connect.session() MemoryStore is not designed for a production environment, as it will leak memory, and will not scale past a single process.
There for, after much searching, I added the firebase-session functionality, but now, even though I get no error, nothing is saved in the session.
This is my code:
const functions = require('firebase-functions');
const express = require('express');
const session = require('express-session');
const FirebaseStore = require('connect-session-firebase')(session);
const firebase = require('firebase-admin');
const ref = firebase.initializeApp(
functions.config().firebase
);
const app = express();
app.use(session({
store: new FirebaseStore({
database: ref.database()
}),
secret: 'asdfasgbrwewet53hnhwetynsy',
resave: true,
saveUninitialized: true
}));
app.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
console.log(req.session);
req.session.username='rakafa';
res.send('Returning with some text');
});
app.get('/bar', function(req, res, next) {
console.log(req.session);
var someAttribute = req.session.username;
res.send(`This will print the attribute I set earlier: ${someAttribute}`);
});
exports.app = functions.https.onRequest(app);
This is what I did so far:
- My original example taht I used to start using session: session-express example
- I took the firebase part from npm: npm firebase-session
- Tried to use radis-store as a solution, didn't word: using radis-store solution
- Using session-store, gave me the same worning as using nothing.. npm session-store
- This question gave me the idea of using firebase-session database sessions explanations
- I saw this an example with cookies, but didn't understand, and didn't find another example cookie session
Just another word, I only just started learning Node.js, so please try using simple examples, so I would understand ;)
And please forgive my starte's mistakes
Please, HELP....
=== edit ===
According to orxelm's answer, I changed my ref to this:
const ref = firebase.initializeApp({
//admin.credential.cert(serviceAccount)
credential: firebase.credential.applicationDefault(),
databaseURL: "https://*****.firebaseio.com/"
});
But still, when I run the app, there is nothing in the session once I refresh the page.
sessions in the server ^^ I can see that the app created a lot of sessions in the server. but none of them have the information I added on the app, and since I use only one browser, there should only one session, am I wrong?
