Usage

session-couchnode takes in Express Session

const session = require( 'express-session' );

    secret: 's3kr8T ',
    resave: false,
    store: couchbaseStore,
    saveUninitialized: false,
    cookie: { maxAge: 24*60*60*1000 } //stay open for 1 day of inactivity
}));

You may also wish to add logging for connecting

  if( e ) console.log( e );
  else console.log( "Couchbase Session store is ready for use" );
});

You may also wish to add logging for disconnecting

couchbaseStore.on( 'disconnect', function( e ) {
  if( e ){
    console.log( "An error occurred connecting to Couchbase Session Storage" );
    console.log( e );
  }
});
