🛠 Usage Example

import express from "express";
import { drizzle } from "drizzle-orm/libsql";
import * as schema from "./src/schema";
import { createClient } from "@libsql/client";
import session from "express-session";
import { DrizzleSessionStore } from "drizzle-session-store";
import 'dotenv/config';

const client = createClient({
  url: process.env.DB_FILE_NAME!,
});

const db = drizzle({ client, schema });

const app = express();

app.use(session({
  secret: 'keyboard cat',
  resave: false,
  saveUninitialized: true,
  store: new DrizzleSessionStore(db, schema.sqliteSessionTable),
  // cookie: { secure: true } // Optional: enable for HTTPS
}));

app.get("/", (req, res) => {
  req.session.user = "Mohamed";
  res.send("Session set!");
});

app.listen(3000, () => console.log("Server running on http://localhost:3000"));
