Connect Redis

connect-redis is a Redis session store backed by node_redis, and is insanely fast :).

Installation

Via git:

$ git clone git://github.com/visionmedia/connect-redis.git ~/.node_libraries/connect-redis

via npm:

$ npm install connect-redis

Options

• maxAge Sets key via the EXPIRE command (also the session's cookie)
• host Redis server hostname
• port Redis server portno
• ... Remaining options passed to the redis createClient() method.

Example

var connect = require('connect')
      , RedisStore = require('connect-redis');

connect.createServer(
  connect.bodyDecoder(), // Always before the session
  connect.cookieDecoder(),
  // 5 minutes
  connect.session({ store: new RedisStore({ maxAge: 300000 }) })
);

Warning

If you use the bodyDecoder middleware, place it before the session one!
