Node js ignoring unbundled middleware

I have some issue with middleware that is no longer budnled with NODE.js I made just like here:

Node js Error: Most middleware (like session) is no longer bundled with Express and must be installed separately

But i still got the same error: "Most middleware bla bla bla..."

var express = require('express');
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var path = require('path');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var config = require('config');
var session = require('express-session');

var app = express();
var IS_DEV = (app.get('env') === 'development');
var MongoStore = require('connect-mongo')(express);

app.use(session({
  secret: config.get('session:secret'),
  key: config.get('session:key'),
  cookie: config.get('session:cookie'),
  store: new MongoStore({mongoose_connection: mongoose.connection})
}));

Package installed and i see it in node_modules folder. And i don't see any errors like: session is undefined What i did wrong?

Btw same going on with express-error-handler package

  • windows 8.1
  • node 4.4.0
  • mongodb 3.2.4
  • npm 2.14.20
  • express 4.13.4

Solution

  • Since you're using Express 4, the setup for connect-mongo is incorrect.

    It should be:

    var session = require('express-session');
...
var MongoStore = require('connect-mongo')(session);
                                          ^^^^^^^ not `express`

    See the documentation.
