Quickstart

Installing the client library

npm install nodejs-cosmosdbtable-session

Using the client library

const { TableClient, AzureNamedKeyCredential } = require('@azure/data-tables');
const express = require('express');
const session = require('express-session');
const app = express();

const { CosmosDbTableStore } = require('nodejs-cosmosdbtable-session');

const tableName = `SessionTable`;

// See authenticationMethods of @azure/data-tables for other options of creating a new client
let options: TableServiceClientOptions = {};
const client = TableClient.fromConnectionString(env.ACCOUNT_CONNECTION_STRING, tableName, options);

app.use(
  session({
    store: new CosmosDbTableStore({
      tableClient: client,
    }),
    secret: 'my-secret',
    resave: false,
    saveUninitialized: true,
  })
);

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
  if (!req.session.views) {
    req.session.views = 0;
  }
  const views = req.session.views++;
  res.send(`Views ${views}`);
});

app.listen(4830, () => {
  console.log('Example app listening on port 4830!');
});

Supported Node.js Versions

Our client libraries follow the Node.js release schedule. Libraries are compatible with all current active and maintenance versions of Node.js. If you are using an end-of-life version of Node.js, we recommend that you update as soon as possible to an actively supported LTS version.

Versioning

This library follows Semantic Versioning.

This library is considered to be stable. The code surface will not change in backwards-incompatible ways unless absolutely necessary (e.g. because of critical security issues) or with an extensive deprecation period. Issues and requests against stable libraries are addressed with the highest priority.
