I (@DaAwesomeP) now help maintain koa/koa-redis.

Redis store-based session middleware for Koa. This version adds the keySchema option to use a prefix on Redis keys. It also adds hiredis and puid.

Forked from koa-session-redis. Based on koa-session.

$ npm install koa-session-redis3

When it installs it should also include hiredis, which is a native module. If it fails to build, then no worries (it is only a speed improvement), as it will fall back to the JavaScript parser.

var session = require('koa-session-redis3');
var koa = require('koa');
var app = koa();
app.keys = ['some secret hurr'];
app.use(session({
    store: {
      host: process.env.SESSION_PORT_6379_TCP_ADDR || '127.0.0.1',
      port: process.env.SESSION_PORT_6379_TCP_PORT || 6379,
      ttl: 3600,
      keySchema: 'your:schema'
    },
  },
));
app.use(function *(){
  var n = this.session.views || 0;
  this.session.views = ++n;
  this.body = n + ' views';
});
app.listen(3000);
console.log('listening on port 3000');

This module provides "guest" sessions, meaning any visitor will have a session, authenticated or not. If a session is new a Set-Cookie will be produced regardless of populating the session.

The cookie name is controlled by the key option, which defaults to "koa:sess". All other options are passed to ctx.cookies.get() and ctx.cookies.set() allowing you to control security, domain, path, and signing among other settings.

Returns true if the session is new.

To destroy a session simply set it to null:

this.session = null;
