+
+## Installation
+
+This is a [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) module available through the
+[npm registry](https://www.npmjs.com/). Installation is done using the
+[`npm install` command](https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/installing-npm-packages-locally):
+
+```sh
+$ npm install express-session
+```
+
+## API
+
+```js
+var session = require('express-session')
+```
+
+### session(options)
+
+Create a session middleware with the given `options`.
+
+**Note** Session data is _not_ saved in the cookie itself, just the session ID.
+Session data is stored server-side.
+
+**Note** Since version 1.5.0, the [`cookie-parser` middleware](https://www.npmjs.com/package/cookie-parser)
+no longer needs to be used for this module to work. This module now directly reads
+and writes cookies on `req`/`res`. Using `cookie-parser` may result in issues
+if the `secret` is not the same between this module and `cookie-parser`.
+
+**Warning** The default server-side session storage, `MemoryStore`, is _purposely_
+not designed for a production environment. It will leak memory under most
+conditions, does not scale past a single process, and is meant for debugging and
+developing.
+
+For a list of stores, see [compatible session stores](#compatible-session-stores).
+
+#### Options
+
+`express-session` accepts these properties in the options object.
+
+##### cookie
+
+Settings object for the session ID cookie. The default value is
+`{ path: '/', httpOnly: true, secure: false, maxAge: null }`.
+
+In addition to providing a static object, you can also pass a callback function to dynamically generate the cookie options for each request. The callback receives the `req` object as its argument and should return an object containing the cookie settings.
+
+```js
+var app = express()
+app.use(session({
+  secret: 'keyboard cat',
+  resave: false,
+  saveUninitialized: true,
+  cookie: function(req) {
+    var match = req.url.match(/^\/([^/]+)/);
+    return {
+      path: match ? '/' + match[1] : '/',
+      httpOnly: true,
+      secure: req.secure || false,
+      maxAge: 60000
+    }
+  }
+}))
+```
+
+The following are options that can be set in this object.
+
+##### cookie.domain
+
+Specifies the value for the `Domain` `Set-Cookie` attribute. By default, no domain
+is set, and most clients will consider the cookie to apply to only the current
+domain.
+
+##### cookie.expires
+
+Specifies the `Date` object to be the value for the `Expires` `Set-Cookie` attribute.
+By default, no expiration is set, and most clients will consider this a
+"non-persistent cookie" and will delete it on a condition like exiting a web browser
+application.
+
+**Note** If both `expires` and `maxAge` are set in the options, then the last one
+defined in the object is what is used.
+
+**Note** The `expires` option should not be set directly; instead only use the `maxAge`
+option.
+
+##### cookie.httpOnly
+
+Specifies the `boolean` value for the `HttpOnly` `Set-Cookie` attribute. When truthy,
+the `HttpOnly` attribute is set, otherwise it is not. By default, the `HttpOnly`
+attribute is set.
+
+**Note** be careful when setting this to `true`, as compliant clients will not allow
+client-side JavaScript to see the cookie in `document.cookie`.
+
+##### cookie.maxAge
+
+Specifies the `number` (in milliseconds) to use when calculating the `Expires`
+`Set-Cookie` attribute. This is done by taking the current server time and adding
+`maxAge` milliseconds to the value to calculate an `Expires` datetime. By default,
+no maximum age is set.
+
+**Note** If both `expires` and `maxAge` are set in the options, then the last one
+defined in the object is what is used.
+
+##### cookie.partitioned
+
+Specifies the `boolean` value for the [`Partitioned` `Set-Cookie`](rfc-cutler-httpbis-partitioned-cookies)
+attribute. When truthy, the `Partitioned` attribute is set, otherwise it is not.
+By default, the `Partitioned` attribute is not set.
+
+**Note** This is an attribute that has not yet been fully standardized, and may
+change in the future. This also means many clients may ignore this attribute until
+they understand it.
+
+More information about can be found in [the proposal](https://github.com/privacycg/CHIPS).
+
+##### cookie.path
+
+Specifies the value for the `Path` `Set-Cookie`. By default, this is set to `'/'`, which
+is the root path of the domain.
+
+##### cookie.priority
+
+Specifies the `string` to be the value for the [`Priority` `Set-Cookie` attribute][rfc-west-cookie-priority-00-4.1].
+
+  - `'low'` will set the `Priority` attribute to `Low`.
+  - `'medium'` will set the `Priority` attribute to `Medium`, the default priority when not set.
+  - `'high'` will set the `Priority` attribute to `High`.
+
+More information about the different priority levels can be found in
+[the specification][rfc-west-cookie-priority-00-4.1].
+
+**Note** This is an attribute that has not yet been fully standardized, and may change in the future.
+This also means many clients may ignore this attribute until they understand it.
+
+##### cookie.sameSite
+
+Specifies the `boolean` or `string` to be the value for the `SameSite` `Set-Cookie` attribute.
+By default, this is `false`.
+
+  - `true` will set the `SameSite` attribute to `Strict` for strict same site enforcement.
+  - `false` will not set the `SameSite` attribute.
+  - `'lax'` will set the `SameSite` attribute to `Lax` for lax same site enforcement.
+  - `'none'` will set the `SameSite` attribute to `None` for an explicit cross-site cookie.
+  - `'strict'` will set the `SameSite` attribute to `Strict` for strict same site enforcement.
+  - `'auto'` will set the `SameSite` attribute to `None` for secure connections and `Lax` for non-secure connections.
+
+More information about the different enforcement levels can be found in
+[the specification][rfc-6265bis-03-4.1.2.7].
+
+**Note** This is an attribute that has not yet been fully standardized, and may change in
+the future. This also means many clients may ignore this attribute until they understand it.
+
+**Note** There is a [draft spec](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-west-cookie-incrementalism-01)
+that requires that the `Secure` attribute be set to `true` when the `SameSite` attribute has been
+set to `'none'`. Some web browsers or other clients may be adopting this specification.
+
+The `cookie.sameSite` option can also be set to the special value `'auto'` to have
+this setting automatically match the determined security of the connection. When the connection
+is secure (HTTPS), the `SameSite` attribute will be set to `None` to enable cross-site usage.
+When the connection is not secure (HTTP), the `SameSite` attribute will be set to `Lax` for
+better security while maintaining functionality. This is useful when the Express `"trust proxy"`
+setting is properly setup to simplify development vs production configuration, particularly
+for SAML authentication scenarios.
+
+##### cookie.secure
+
+Specifies the `boolean` value for the `Secure` `Set-Cookie` attribute. When truthy,
+the `Secure` attribute is set, otherwise it is not. By default, the `Secure`
+attribute is not set.
+
+**Note** be careful when setting this to `true`, as compliant clients will not send
+the cookie back to the server in the future if the browser does not have an HTTPS
+connection.
+
+Please note that `secure: true` is a **recommended** option. However, it requires
+an https-enabled website, i.e., HTTPS is necessary for secure cookies. If `secure`
+is set, and you access your site over HTTP, the cookie will not be set. If you
+have your node.js behind a proxy and are using `secure: true`, you need to set
+"trust proxy" in express:
+
+```js
+var app = express()
+app.set('trust proxy', 1) // trust first proxy
+app.use(session({
+  secret: 'keyboard cat',
+  resave: false,
+  saveUninitialized: true,
+  cookie: { secure: true }
+}))
+```
+
+For using secure cookies in production, but allowing for testing in development,
+the following is an example of enabling this setup based on `NODE_ENV` in express:
+
+```js
+var app = express()
+var sess = {
+  secret: 'keyboard cat',
+  cookie: {}
+}
+
+if (app.get('env') === 'production') {
+  app.set('trust proxy', 1) // trust first proxy
+  sess.cookie.secure = true // serve secure cookies
+}
+
+app.use(session(sess))
+```
+
+The `cookie.secure` option can also be set to the special value `'auto'` to have
+this setting automatically match the determined security of the connection. Be
+careful when using this setting if the site is available both as HTTP and HTTPS,
+as once the cookie is set on HTTPS, it will no longer be visible over HTTP. This
+is useful when the Express `"trust proxy"` setting is properly setup to simplify
+development vs production configuration.
+
+##### genid
+
+Function to call to generate a new session ID. Provide a function that returns
+a string that will be used as a session ID. The function is given `req` as the
+first argument if you want to use some value attached to `req` when generating
+the ID.
+
+The default value is a function which uses the `uid-safe` library to generate IDs.
+
+**NOTE** be careful to generate unique IDs so your sessions do not conflict.
+
+```js
+app.use(session({
+  genid: function(req) {
+    return genuuid() // use UUIDs for session IDs
+  },
+  secret: 'keyboard cat'
+}))
+```
+
+##### name
+
+The name of the session ID cookie to set in the response (and read from in the
+request).
+
+The default value is `'connect.sid'`.
+
+**Note** if you have multiple apps running on the same hostname (this is just
+the name, i.e. `localhost` or `127.0.0.1`; different schemes and ports do not
+name a different hostname), then you need to separate the session cookies from
+each other. The simplest method is to simply set different `name`s per app.
+
+##### proxy
+
+Trust the reverse proxy when setting secure cookies (via the "X-Forwarded-Proto"
+header).
+
+The default value is `undefined`.
+
+  - `true` The "X-Forwarded-Proto" header will be used.
+  - `false` All headers are ignored and the connection is considered secure only
+    if there is a direct TLS/SSL connection.
+  - `undefined` Uses the "trust proxy" setting from express
+
+##### resave
+
+Forces the session to be saved back to the session store, even if the session
+was never modified during the request. Depending on your store this may be
+necessary, but it can also create race conditions where a client makes two
+parallel requests to your server and changes made to the session in one
+request may get overwritten when the other request ends, even if it made no
+changes (this behavior also depends on what store you're using).
+
+The default value is `true`, but using the default has been deprecated,
+as the default will change in the future. Please research into this setting
+and choose what is appropriate to your use-case. Typically, you'll want
+`false`.
+
+How do I know if this is necessary for my store? The best way to know is to
+check with your store if it implements the `touch` method. If it does, then
+you can safely set `resave: false`. If it does not implement the `touch`
+method and your store sets an expiration date on stored sessions, then you
+likely need `resave: true`.
+
+##### rolling
+
+Force the session identifier cookie to be set on every response. The expiration
+is reset to the original [`maxAge`](#cookiemaxage), resetting the expiration
+countdown.
+
+The default value is `false`.
+
+With this enabled, the session identifier cookie will expire in
+[`maxAge`](#cookiemaxage) since the last response was sent instead of in
+[`maxAge`](#cookiemaxage) since the session was last modified by the server.
+
+This is typically used in conjunction with short, non-session-length
+[`maxAge`](#cookiemaxage) values to provide a quick timeout of the session data
+with reduced potential of it occurring during on going server interactions.
+
+**Note** When this option is set to `true` but the `saveUninitialized` option is
+set to `false`, the cookie will not be set on a response with an uninitialized
+session. This option only modifies the behavior when an existing session was
+loaded for the request.
+
+##### saveUninitialized
+
+Forces a session that is "uninitialized" to be saved to the store. A session is
+uninitialized when it is new but not modified. Choosing `false` is useful for
+implementing login sessions, reducing server storage usage, or complying with
+laws that require permission before setting a cookie. Choosing `false` will also
+help with race conditions where a client makes multiple parallel requests
+without a session.
+
+The default value is `true`, but using the default has been deprecated, as the
+default will change in the future. Please research into this setting and
+choose what is appropriate to your use-case.
+
+**Note** if you are using Session in conjunction with PassportJS, Passport
+will add an empty Passport object to the session for use after a user is
+authenticated, which will be treated as a modification to the session, causing
+it to be saved. *This has been fixed in PassportJS 0.3.0*
+
+##### secret
+
+**Required option**
+
+This is the secret used to sign the session ID cookie. The secret can be any type
+of value that is supported by Node.js `crypto.createHmac` (like a string or a
+`Buffer`). This can be either a single secret, or an array of multiple secrets. If
+an array of secrets is provided, only the first element will be used to sign the
+session ID cookie, while all the elements will be considered when verifying the
+signature in requests. The secret itself should be not easily parsed by a human and
+would best be a random set of characters. A best practice may include:
+
+  - The use of environment variables to store the secret, ensuring the secret itself
+    does not exist in your repository.
+  - Periodic updates of the secret, while ensuring the previous secret is in the
+    array.
+
+Using a secret that cannot be guessed will reduce the ability to hijack a session to
+only guessing the session ID (as determined by the `genid` option).
+
+Changing the secret value will invalidate all existing sessions. In order to rotate
+the secret without invalidating sessions, provide an array of secrets, with the new
+secret as first element of the array, and including previous secrets as the later
+elements.
+
+**Note** HMAC-256 is used to sign the session ID. For this reason, the secret should
+contain at least 32 bytes of entropy.
+
+##### store
+
+The session store instance, defaults to a new `MemoryStore` instance.
+
+##### unset
+
+Control the result of unsetting `req.session` (through `delete`, setting to `null`,
+etc.).
+
+The default value is `'keep'`.
+
+  - `'destroy'` The session will be destroyed (deleted) when the response ends.
+  - `'keep'` The session in the store will be kept, but modifications made during
+    the request are ignored and not saved.
+
+### req.session
+
+To store or access session data, simply use the request property `req.session`,
+which is (generally) serialized as JSON by the store, so nested objects
+are typically fine. For example below is a user-specific view counter:
+
+```js
+// Use the session middleware
+app.use(session({ secret: 'keyboard cat', cookie: { maxAge: 60000 }}))
+
+// Access the session as req.session
+app.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
+  if (req.session.views) {
+    req.session.views++
+    res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html')
+    res.write('<p>views: ' + req.session.views + '</p>')
+    res.write('<p>expires in: ' + (req.session.cookie.maxAge / 1000) + 's</p>')
+    res.end()
+  } else {
+    req.session.views = 1
+    res.end('welcome to the session demo. refresh!')
+  }
+})
+```
+
+#### Session.regenerate(callback)
+
+To regenerate the session simply invoke the method. Once complete,
+a new SID and `Session` instance will be initialized at `req.session`
+and the `callback` will be invoked.
+
+```js
+req.session.regenerate(function(err) {
+  // will have a new session here
+})
+```
+
+#### Session.destroy(callback)
+
+Destroys the session and will unset the `req.session` property.
+Once complete, the `callback` will be invoked.
+
+```js
+req.session.destroy(function(err) {
+  // cannot access session here
+})
+```
+
+#### Session.reload(callback)
+
+Reloads the session data from the store and re-populates the
+`req.session` object. Once complete, the `callback` will be invoked.
+
+```js
+req.session.reload(function(err) {
+  // session updated
+})
+```
+
+#### Session.save(callback)
+
+Save the session back to the store, replacing the contents on the store with the
+contents in memory (though a store may do something else--consult the store's
+documentation for exact behavior).
+
+This method is automatically called at the end of the HTTP response if the
+session data has been altered (though this behavior can be altered with various
+options in the middleware constructor). Because of this, typically this method
+does not need to be called.
+
+There are some cases where it is useful to call this method, for example,
+redirects, long-lived requests or in WebSockets.
+
+```js
+req.session.save(function(err) {
+  // session saved
+})
+```
+
+#### Session.touch()
+
+Updates the `.maxAge` property. Typically this is
+not necessary to call, as the session middleware does this for you.
+
+### req.session.id
+
+Each session has a unique ID associated with it. This property is an
+alias of [`req.sessionID`](#reqsessionid-1) and cannot be modified.
+It has been added to make the session ID accessible from the `session`
+object.
+
+### req.session.cookie
+
+Each session has a unique cookie object accompany it. This allows
+you to alter the session cookie per visitor. For example we can
+set `req.session.cookie.expires` to `false` to enable the cookie
+to remain for only the duration of the user-agent.
+
+#### Cookie.maxAge
+
+Alternatively `req.session.cookie.maxAge` will return the time
+remaining in milliseconds, which we may also re-assign a new value
+to adjust the `.expires` property appropriately. The following
+are essentially equivalent
+
+```js
+var hour = 3600000
+req.session.cookie.expires = new Date(Date.now() + hour)
+req.session.cookie.maxAge = hour
+```
+
+For example when `maxAge` is set to `60000` (one minute), and 30 seconds
+has elapsed it will return `30000` until the current request has completed,
+at which time `req.session.touch()` is called to reset
+`req.session.cookie.maxAge` to its original value.
+
+```js
+req.session.cookie.maxAge // => 30000
+```
+
+#### Cookie.originalMaxAge
+
+The `req.session.cookie.originalMaxAge` property returns the original
+`maxAge` (time-to-live), in milliseconds, of the session cookie.
+
+### req.sessionID
+
+To get the ID of the loaded session, access the request property
+`req.sessionID`. This is simply a read-only value set when a session
+is loaded/created.
+
+## Session Store Implementation
+
+Every session store _must_ be an `EventEmitter` and implement specific
+methods. The following methods are the list of **required**, **recommended**,
+and **optional**.
+
+  * Required methods are ones that this module will always call on the store.
+  * Recommended methods are ones that this module will call on the store if
+    available.
+  * Optional methods are ones this module does not call at all, but helps
+    present uniform stores to users.
+
+For an example implementation view the [connect-redis](http://github.com/visionmedia/connect-redis) repo.
+
+### store.all(callback)
+
+**Optional**
+
+This optional method is used to get all sessions in the store as an array. The
+`callback` should be called as `callback(error, sessions)`.
+
+### store.destroy(sid, callback)
+
+**Required**
+
+This required method is used to destroy/delete a session from the store given
+a session ID (`sid`). The `callback` should be called as `callback(error)` once
+the session is destroyed.
+
+### store.clear(callback)
+
+**Optional**
+
+This optional method is used to delete all sessions from the store. The
+`callback` should be called as `callback(error)` once the store is cleared.
+
+### store.length(callback)
+
+**Optional**
+
+This optional method is used to get the count of all sessions in the store.
+The `callback` should be called as `callback(error, len)`.
+
+### store.get(sid, callback)
+
+**Required**
+
+This required method is used to get a session from the store given a session
+ID (`sid`). The `callback` should be called as `callback(error, session)`.
+
+The `session` argument should be a session if found, otherwise `null` or
+`undefined` if the session was not found (and there was no error). A special
+case is made when `error.code === 'ENOENT'` to act like `callback(null, null)`.
+
+### store.set(sid, session, callback)
+
+**Required**
+
+This required method is used to upsert a session into the store given a
+session ID (`sid`) and session (`session`) object. The callback should be
+called as `callback(error)` once the session has been set in the store.
+
+### store.touch(sid, session, callback)
+
+**Recommended**
+
+This recommended method is used to "touch" a given session given a
+session ID (`sid`) and session (`session`) object. The `callback` should be
+called as `callback(error)` once the session has been touched.
+
+This is primarily used when the store will automatically delete idle sessions
+and this method is used to signal to the store the given session is active,
+potentially resetting the idle timer.

+var express = require('express')
+var parseurl = require('parseurl')
+var session = require('express-session')
+
+var app = express()

+
+  // count the views
+  req.session.views[pathname] = (req.session.views[pathname] || 0) + 1
+
+  next()
+})
+
+app.get('/foo', function (req, res, next) {
+  res.send('you viewed this page ' + req.session.views['/foo'] + ' times')
+})
+
+app.get('/bar', function (req, res, next) {
+  res.send('you viewed this page ' + req.session.views['/bar'] + ' times')
+})
+
+app.listen(3000)
+```
+
+### User login
+
+A simple example using `express-session` to keep a user log in session.
+
+```js
+var escapeHtml = require('escape-html')
+var express = require('express')
+var session = require('express-session')
+
+var app = express()

+
+    // store user information in session, typically a user id
+    req.session.user = req.body.user
+
+    // save the session before redirection to ensure page
+    // load does not happen before session is saved
+    req.session.save(function (err) {
+      if (err) return next(err)
+      res.redirect('/')
+    })
+  })
+})
+
+app.get('/logout', function (req, res, next) {
+  // logout logic
+
+  // clear the user from the session object and save.
+  // this will ensure that re-using the old session id
+  // does not have a logged in user
+  req.session.user = null

+
+app.listen(3000)
+```
+
+## Debugging
+
+This module uses the [debug](https://www.npmjs.com/package/debug) module
+internally to log information about session operations.
+
+To see all the internal logs, set the `DEBUG` environment variable to
+`express-session` when launching your app (`npm start`, in this example):
+
+```sh
+$ DEBUG=express-session npm start
+```
+
+On Windows, use the corresponding command;
+
+```sh
+> set DEBUG=express-session & npm start
+```
