connect-ioredis-store

A session store for express-session using ioredis.

Why?

connect-redis recently dropped support for ioredis and now only works with the official node redis client. If you're still using ioredis and want to keep using it, this library is for you. It's designed to be an almost drop-in replacement for connect-redis.

Installation

npm install connect-ioredis-store express-session ioredis

Usage

import session from "express-session";
import { Redis } from "ioredis";
import { IORedisStore } from "connect-ioredis-store";

const redis = new Redis();

app.use(
  session({
    store: new IORedisStore({
      client: redis,
      prefix: "myapp:"
    }),
    secret: "your-secret-key",
    resave: false,
    saveUninitialized: false
  })
);

Options

• client (required): Your ioredis client instance
• prefix: Key prefix in Redis (default: "sess:")
• ttl: Session TTL in seconds (default: 86400 - 24 hours). Can be a number or a function that returns a number based on the session data
• serializer: Custom serializer (default: JSON). Must have stringify and parse methods
• disable_touch: Disable touch (default: false)
• disable_ttl: Disable TTL expiration (default: false)
• scan_count: Count option for Redis SCAN command (default: 100)

Limitations

• No Redis Cluster support yet - Currently only works with standalone Redis instances. Cluster support is planned for a future release.
