MySession

Handler for multiple client sessions

How It Works

1. Build a session container by calculated client key.
2. Restore data previously stored.
3. Auto-remove expired sessions.

Usage

JS Applications

Session control for webapps.

1. Install by npm:

   $ npm install mysession

Config

MySession handle coocies, exiperd sessions, etc.

1. session.open():

    const session = require("mysession"); //session handler
   
    // Settings
    session.open({
        cookieName: "SESSION", //name cookie
        maxage: 1000 * 60 * 60 //1h in miliseconds
    });

2. session.init():

    const url = require("url"); //url parser
    const http = require("http"); //http server
    const session = require("mysession"); //session handler
   
    const server = http.createServer(function(req, res) {
        let parts = url.parse(req.url.toLowerCase(), true); //parse url
        let pathname = parts.pathname; //https://example.org/abc/xyz?123 = /abc/xyz
        //Static request => res.end()
        if (pathname.indexOf("/favicon.ico") > -1)
            return res.end(); //ignore icon request
   
        session.init(req, res);
        console.log(req.session);
        res.end(JSON.stringify(req.session), "application/json", () => {
            console.log(">", req.url, req.method, (Date.now() - req.session.mtime) + " ms");
        });
    });

3. session.close():

    const url = require("url"); //url parser
    const http = require("http"); //http server
    const session = require("mysession"); //session handler
   
    //create server instance
    const server = http.createServer(function(req, res) {
        let parts = url.parse(req.url.toLowerCase(), true); //parse url
        let pathname = parts.pathname; //https://example.org/abc/xyz?123 = /abc/xyz
        //Static request => res.end()
        if (pathname.indexOf("/favicon.ico") > -1)
            return res.end(); //ignore icon request
   
        session.init(req, res);
        console.log(req.session);
        res.end(JSON.stringify(req.session), "application/json", () => {
            console.log(">", req.url, req.method, (Date.now() - req.session.mtime) + " ms");
        });
    });
   
    //capture Node.js Signals and Events
    function fnExit(signal) { //exit handler
        console.log("------------------");
        console.log("> Received [" + signal + "].");
        session.close();
        server.close();
        console.log("> Http server closed.");
        console.log("> " + (new Date()));
        process.exit(0);
    };
    server.on("close", fnExit); //close server event
    process.on("exit", function() { fnExit("exit"); }); //common exit signal
    process.on("SIGHUP", function() { fnExit("SIGHUP"); }); //generated on Windows when the console window is closed
    process.on("SIGINT", function() { fnExit("SIGINT"); }); //Press Ctrl-C / Ctrl-D keys to exit
    process.on("SIGTERM", function() { fnExit("SIGTERM"); }); //kill the server using command kill [PID_number] or killall node
    process.stdin.on("data", function(data) { (data == "exit\n") && fnExit("exit"); }); //console exit
   
    //start http and https server
    let port = process.env.port || 3000;
    server.listen(port, "localhost");

4. Complete session example:

    const url = require("url"); //url parser
    const http = require("http"); //http server
    const session = require("mysession"); //session handler
   
    // Settings
    session.open({
        cookieName: "SESSION", //name cookie
        maxage: 1000 * 60 * 60 //1h in miliseconds
    });
   
    //create server instance
    const server = http.createServer(function(req, res) {
        let parts = url.parse(req.url.toLowerCase(), true); //parse url
        let pathname = parts.pathname; //https://example.org/abc/xyz?123 = /abc/xyz
        //Static request => res.end()
        if (pathname.indexOf("/favicon.ico") > -1)
            return res.end(); //ignore icon request
   
        session.init(req, res);
        console.log(req.session);
        res.end(JSON.stringify(req.session), "application/json", () => {
            console.log(">", req.url, req.method, (Date.now() - req.session.mtime) + " ms");
        });
    });
   
    //capture Node.js Signals and Events
    function fnExit(signal) { //exit handler
        console.log("------------------");
        console.log("> Received [" + signal + "].");
        session.close();
        server.close();
        console.log("> Http server closed.");
        console.log("> " + (new Date()));
        process.exit(0);
    };
    server.on("close", fnExit); //close server event
    process.on("exit", function() { fnExit("exit"); }); //common exit signal
    process.on("SIGHUP", function() { fnExit("SIGHUP"); }); //generated on Windows when the console window is closed
    process.on("SIGINT", function() { fnExit("SIGINT"); }); //Press Ctrl-C / Ctrl-D keys to exit
    process.on("SIGTERM", function() { fnExit("SIGTERM"); }); //kill the server using command kill [PID_number] or killall node
    process.stdin.on("data", function(data) { (data == "exit\n") && fnExit("exit"); }); //console exit
   
    //start http and https server
    let port = process.env.port || 3000;
    server.listen(port, "localhost");
