koa-session-ioredis

Redis storage for koa session middleware/cache using ioredis.

Installation

npm i koa-session-ioredis ioredis --save

Usage

koa-session-ioredis works with koa-generic-session (a generic session middleware for koa).

Example

var session = require('koa-generic-session');
var redisStore = require('koa-session-ioredis');
var koa = require('koa');

var app = koa();
app.keys = ['keys', 'keykeys'];
app.use(session({
  store: redisStore({
    // Options specified here
  })
}));

app.use(function *() {
  switch (this.path) {
  case '/get':
    get.call(this);
    break;
  case '/remove':
    remove.call(this);
    break;
  case '/regenerate':
    yield regenerate.call(this);
    break;
  }
});

function get() {
  var session = this.session;
  session.count = session.count || 0;
  session.count++;
  this.body = session.count;
}

function remove() {
  this.session = null;
  this.body = 0;
}

function *regenerate() {
  get.call(this);
  yield this.regenerateSession();
  get.call(this);
}

app.listen(8080);

Options

• all ioredis options
• Useful things include host, port, and path to the server. Defaults to 127.0.0.1:6379
• client (object) - supply your own client, all other options are ignored unless duplicate is also supplied
• duplicate (boolean) - When true, it will run client.duplicate(options) on the supplied client and use all other options supplied. This is useful if you want to select a different DB for sessions but also want to base from the same client object.

Events

See the ioredis docs for more info.

• ready
• connect
• reconnecting
• error
• end
• close
• idle

API

These are some the funcitons that koa-generic-session uses that you can use manually. You will need to inintialize differently than the example above:

var session = require('koa-generic-session');
var redisStore = require('koa-session-ioredis')({
  // Options specified here
});
var app = require('koa')();

app.keys = ['keys', 'keykeys'];
app.use(session({
  store: redisStore
}));

module([options])

Initialize the Redis connection with the optionally provided options (see above). The variable session below references this.

session.get(sid)

Generator that gets a session by ID. Returns parsed JSON is exists, null if it does not exist, and nothing upon error.

session.set(sid, sess, ttl)

Generator that sets a JSON session by ID with an optional time-to-live (ttl) in milliseconds. Yields ioredis's client.set() or client.setex().

session.destroy(sid)

Generator that destroys a session (removes it from Redis) by ID. Yields ioredis's client.del().

session.quit()

Generator that stops a Redis session after everything in the queue has completed. Yields ioredis's client.quit().

session.end()

Alias to session.quit(). It is not safe to use the real end function, as it cuts of the queue.

session.status

String giving the connection status updated using client.status after any of the events above is fired.

• connecting
• connect
• ready
• reconnecting
• end
• monitoring

session.client

Direct access to the ioredis client.

Benchmark

Server	Transaction rate	Response time

Testing

1. Start a Redis server on localhost:6379. You can use redis-windows if you are on Windows or just want a quick VM-based server.
2. Clone the repository and run npm i in it (Windows should work fine).
3. If you want to see debug output, turn on the prompt's DEBUG flag.
4. Run npm test to run the tests and generate coverage. To run the tests without generating coverage, run npm run-script test-only.
