I am facing an issue with my current code implementation. Here is the snippet:
var express = require('express');
var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');
var http = require('http')
var app = express();
app.use(cookieParser());
var session = require('express-session');
app.use(session({
resave: false,
saveUninitialized: true,
secret: 'sdlfjljrowuroweu',
cookie: { secure: true }
}));
app.get('/test', test);
function test(req, res) {
var sess = req.session;
console.log('before', sess);
if (sess.views) {
sess.views++
req.session.save();
res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html')
res.write('<p>views: ' + sess.views + '</p>')
res.write('<p>expires in: ' + (sess.cookie.maxAge / 1000) + 's</p>')
res.end();
} else {
sess.views = 1;
req.session.save();
res.end('welcome to the session demo. refresh!')
}
console.log('after', sess);
return;
}
var server = http.createServer(app);
server.listen(8181);
Upon reloading the page, I am consistently receiving the view count as 0 message.
Whenever I check the console, it displays the following information each time:
before { cookie:
{ path: '/',
_expires: null,
originalMaxAge: null,
httpOnly: true,
secure: true } }
after { cookie:
{ path: '/',
_expires: null,
originalMaxAge: null,
httpOnly: true,
secure: true },
views: 1 }
It appears that the data is not getting saved at all.
