This module provides a session store for connect which uses leveldb and is heavily based on the connect-redis module.
npm install connect-leveldb
dbAn existing dbdbLocationThe location of the database to open / create.ttlSession time to live (TTL) in seconds.prefixKey prefix defaults to "sess:"
Very simple to setup.
var connect = require('connect')
var LeveldbStore = require('connect-leveldb')(connect)
connect()
.use(connect.session({ store: new LeveldbStore(options), secret: 'keyboard cat' }))
Express 3.x users
var express = require('express');
var LeveldbStore = require('connect-leveldb')(express);
var app = express();
app.use(express.cookieParser());
app.use(express.session({ store: new LeveldbStore({ dbLocation: __dirname + '/db' }), secret: 'keyboard cat' }));
With Sublevel you need to specify the value encoding:
var express = require('express');
var LevelUp = require('level');
var Sublevel = require('level-sublevel');
var LeveldbStore = require('connect-leveldb')(express);
var db = Sublevel(LevelUp(__dirname + '/db'));
var sessions = db.sublevel('sessions', { valueEncoding: 'json' });
This module uses a lazy deletion model which means it will only clean up sessions IF a user access the site after they expire. It is primarily designed for use on sites with users who regularly revisit the site for updates.
