Document session configuration and how to undo keys "higher" up about meddleware HOT 7 CLOSED

You can disable middleware with the enabled key in your config.

// dev.json
{
    "middleware": {
        "session": {
            "enabled": false
        }
    }
}

To me that implies that session handling is disabled, which isn't what I wanted (from reading this: #20)

Speaking to Max elsewhere. The concern is regarding passing configuration into a session handler.

There are two approaches to solving this problem. The first and most concise approach is to write a lib that configures your session store, and then configure it with meddleware like any other middleware. Erik wrote an example of this using redis as the backing db.

The second (more manual) approach would be to leverage meddleware's event system to listen for a particular middleware loading (as in your example, middleware:after:cookieParser). Event listeners are called with an object containing your app instance and your config, so you could app.use and config.get to your heart's content.

Highly recommend the former approach to the latter since meddleware provides you with all the necessary facilities.

Not much activity since September (save updating the link) so I'll take that as this being resolved. Closing.
