how to use connect-orientdb module with express


My goal is to connect my server code that its with nodejs and expressjs framework to my database that is with orientdb. first of all i wanted to store my sessions in database. but i had difficulty connecting my server to database.

the error that i get when i execute server.js:

  /Users/soroush/Desktop/nodeOrient/node_modules/connect-orientdb/lib/connect-orientdb.coffee:191
    })(connect.session.Store);
                      ^

TypeError: Cannot read property 'Store' of undefined
  at module.exports (/Users/soroush/Desktop/nodeOrient/node_modules/connect-orientdb/lib/connect-orientdb.coffee:22:46)

  at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:575:10)
  at startup (node.js:160:18)
  at node.js:449:3

and my server.js code is:

var express = require('express'),
    cs = require("coffee-script/register"),
    app = express(),
    path = require('path'),
    cookieParser = require('cookie-parser'),
    session = require('express-session'),
    config = require('./config/config.js'),
    orientDBStore = require('connect-orientdb')(session),
    OrientDB = require('orientjs'),
    orientDBConfig = {
        server : {
            host: "localhost",
            port:2424
        },
        db : {
            user_name: "admin",
            user_password: "admin"
        },
        database : "sessions",
        class_name : "sessions_class"
    },
    server  = OrientDB({
    hose : "localhost",
    port : "2424",
    username : "root",
    password : "root"
    })
    ;

app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'));
app.engine('html', require('hogan-express'));
app.set('view engine', 'html');
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname,'public' )));

app.use(cookieParser());

require('./routes/route.js')(express, app);

    app.use(session({
        secret:"mySecret",
        store: new orientDBStore(orientDBConfig)
    }));

app.listen(8000, function () {
    console.log("app is listening on port 8000");
})

my main problem is that the connect-orientdb was used when the session module was builtin in express, but now that session is a different module i have occurred to this problem.


Solution

  • Finally i found a solution for it if anyone faced this problem:

    var session = require('express-session'),
        OrientoStore = require('connect-oriento')(session);
    
    app.use(session({
            secret: 'SomeSecret',
            store: new OrientoStore({
                server: "host=localhost&port=2424&username=dev&password=dev&db=test"
            })
        }));
