The flash messages are passed to the view layer to be used in the subsequent request. Also we should store a copy on the session object, so that they can be accessed programmatically.

🚨 You need to enable Continuous Integration on all branches of this repository. 🚨

To enable Greenkeeper, you need to make sure that a commit status is reported on all branches. This is required by Greenkeeper because we are using your CI build statuses to figure out when to notify you about breaking changes.

Since we did not receive a CI status on the greenkeeper/initial branch, we assume that you still need to configure it.

If you have already set up a CI for this repository, you might need to check your configuration. Make sure it will run on all new branches. If you don’t want it to run on every branch, you can whitelist branches starting with greenkeeper/.

We recommend using Travis CI, but Greenkeeper will work with every other CI service as well.

Once you have installed CI on this repository, you’ll need to re-trigger Greenkeeper’s initial Pull Request. To do this, please delete the greenkeeper/initial branch in this repository, and then remove and re-add this repository to the Greenkeeper integration’s white list on Github. You'll find this list on your repo or organiszation’s settings page, under Installed GitHub Apps.

... or at least allow to trigger session creation manually.

Why this feature is required (specific use-cases will be appreciated)?

I don't want to create a session for every visitors of my website and I don't want to create a session on every routes either.

Have you tried any other work arounds?

I read the doc and didn't see a satisfying workaround.

Are you willing to work on it with little guidance?

Yes.

Package version

1.0.28

Node.js and npm version

node v10.15.3 and npm 6.4.1

Sample Code (to reproduce the issue)

You only need these two methods on a controller to test it:

async test({ session }){
    const ObjectId = require('bson').ObjectId
    const id = new ObjectId('5c55d6cab44b5f6c2dc33544')
    session.put('test', id)

    return (id instanceof ObjectId)
  }

  async test2({ session }){
    const ObjectId = require('bson').ObjectId
    const idRecovered = session.get('test')
    const result = (idRecovered instanceof ObjectId)
    return result
  }

You will see as the test method returns true and the test2 returns false as the object store maps the ObjectId to ObjectId instead of ObjectID

The bson library exports ObjectId and ObjectID but the first one is just an alias to ObjectID.

I think you have addressed this problem in the last commit:
f713199

Could you please release a new version with this?

We are implementing a social login and we always end up logged with the first user in the mongo collection because of this (I don't know why as not be detecting the ObjectId correctly it returns all documents).

When installing fullstack-app I just got an error from adonis-session requiring missing bson dependency.
Adding it to main package.json fixed the issue.

Great work on the framework. <3

Hi there,

I'm using AdonisJs version 4.1 but I faced with a problem on storing session.
I've atmost 650k unique visitor per month but the size of sessions directory has grown up to 16GB which is a little bit weird.

Is there someone who has had such problem?
Why does the size of sessions directory has grow in such way?

Any help will be appreciated.
Best regards.

Node.js and npm version

v16.14.2

Sample Code (to reproduce the issue)

Following the session docs here: https://docs.adonisjs.com/guides/session

I've set up config/session.ts for cookie storage:

import Env from "@ioc:Adonis/Core/Env";
import { sessionConfig } from "@adonisjs/session/build/config";

export default sessionConfig({
  enabled: true,
  driver: Env.get("SESSION_DRIVER"),
  cookieName: "adonis-session",
  clearWithBrowser: false,
  age: "2h",
  cookie: {
    path: "/",
    httpOnly: true,
    sameSite: false,
  },
  file: {},
  redisConnection: "local",
});

and set the following in .env:

SESSION_DRIVER=cookie

I'm trying to use the session in routes, as described in the docs:

Route.get("/", async ({ session }) => {
  session.put("test", "hmm");
  return { hello: "world" };
});

session is highlighted as a problem in VS Code, with the error message "Property session does not exist on type HttpContextContract" — and requesting the / route in my browser shows that session is not defined.

Are the docs up to date? Is my SESSION_DRIVER correct? How do I access and modify the session?

Hi there,

I'm using AdonisJs version 4.1 but I faced with a problem when making requests from mobile app to my api.
When making request it will create a new session file for each new request.

Example:
Fetching categories in the home screen of app will create a new session file. When clicking on category it will fetch the products for that category and this request will create also a new session file.

Is there a way to create only one session file for making the request from mobile app?

Any help will be appreciated.
Best regards.

it would be a great feature to have an expires value that can be used with the put function. As maybe you want to store something on the session but it isn't required for a long period of time, and thus it will help prevent the session data building up.

Yes you could use redis directly, but this would be easier when wanting to store something on a specific session.

Not giving any error.
Could you help me, please?

BONUS (a sample repo to reproduce the issue)

Join a team to work on a Project. After setting up and installing everything, I try to run the server but keep getting this error.

UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: RuntimeException: E_RUNTIME_ERROR: Session store is not initiated yet. Make sure that you have included the session middleware inside the list of global middleware.

And the session is already included global middleware.
