5895f70cf9fc0f352b528e65 | Set up Passport | 2 |
Description
"passport": "^0.3.2"
In addition, add Express-session as a dependency now as well. Express-session has a ton of advanced features you can use but for now we're just going to use the basics! "express-session": "^1.15.0"
You will need to set up the session settings now and initialize Passport. Be sure to first create the variables 'session' and 'passport' to require 'express-session' and 'passport' respectively.
To set up your express app to use use the session we'll define just a few basic options. Be sure to add 'SESSION_SECRET' to your .env file and give it a random value. This is used to compute the hash used to encrypt your cookie!
app.use(session({ secret: process.env.SESSION_SECRET, resave: true, saveUninitialized: true, }));As well you can go ahead and tell your express app to use 'passport.initialize()' and 'passport.session()'. (For example,
app.use(passport.initialize());
)
