I am trying to use a session to hold a set of data for a user. How do I tie one user to one session? Or does it not work like that? Essentially, how do I make sure one client instance, has one set of session data? I am using React and Node. So far this is my code:
main.ts
app.use(
session({
secret: 'secret',
resave: false,
saveUninitialized: false,
}),
);
.service.ts
public async getCachedSelectedClient(
session: Record<string, any>,
): Promise<string | undefined> {
const { cachedClientId } = session;
this.logger.log('cached client id', cachedClientId);
return cachedClientId;
}
public async setCachedSelectedClient({
session,
cachedClientId,
}): Promise<void> {
if (!cachedClientId) {
return this.logger.log('No cachedClientId provided');
}
session.cachedClientId = cachedClientId;
this.logger.log('set cached client response', cachedClientId);
}
If I use postman I get the data I set, but when I try getting the data with swagger, I don’t get any data. Does this mean it’s already somehow tied to one request origin point?

So turns out express-session uses cookies to connect the client to the session. Simple and works out of the box afaik
