# Connect Session Firestore
[](https://travis-ci.org/benweier/connect-session-firestore)
[](https://codecov.io/gh/benweier/connect-session-firestore)
[](https://greenkeeper.io/)
`connect-session-firestore` is a Connect/Express compatible session store backed by the [Firebase SDK](https://firebase.google.com/docs/admin/setup).
## Installation
`firebase-admin` must be added as a peer dependency, or you're gonna have a bad time.
$ npm install firebase-admin connect-session-firestore --save
## Options
- `database` A pre-initialized Firebase Cloud Firestore app.
- `sessions` (optional) A document reference string for session storage. (defaults to "sessions")
- `reapInterval` (optional) How often expired sessions should be cleaned up (defaults to 21600000) (6 hours in milliseconds)
- `reapCallback` (optional) A callback function to execute whenever a session clean up occurs
## Usage
Initialize `firebase-admin` database and pass the instance to `FirestoreStore`. Connecting to the database requires a credential cert via a JSON file from the [Firebase IAM & Admin Console](https://console.firebase.google.com/iam-admin/projects).
* [Connect](http://senchalabs.github.io/connect)
```js
const connect = require('connect');
const FirestoreStore = require('connect-session-firestore')(connect);
const firebase = require('firebase-admin');
const ref = firebase.initializeApp({
credential: firebase.credential.cert('path/to/serviceAccountCredentials.json'),
databaseURL: 'https://databaseName.firebaseio.com'
});
connect()
.use(connect.cookieParser())
.use(connect.session({
store: new FirestoreStore({
database: ref.firestore()
}),
secret: 'keyboard cat'
}));
```
* [Express](http://expressjs.com)
**NOTE:** In Express 4 `express-session` must be passed to the function `connect-session-firestore` exports in order to extend `express-session.Store`:
```js
const express = require('express');
const session = require('express-session');
const FirestoreStore = require('connect-session-firestore')(session);
const firebase = require('firebase-admin');
const ref = firebase.initializeApp({
credential: firebase.credential.cert('path/to/serviceAccountCredentials.json'),
databaseURL: 'https://databaseName.firebaseio.com'
});
express()
.use(session({
store: new FirestoreStore({
database: ref.firestore()
}),
secret: 'keyboard cat'
resave: true,
saveUninitialized: true
}));
```
## Tests
To run tests against `connect-session-firestore` you will need your own Firebase Database app available.
Checkout the repo locally and create two files in the project root:
- .env
- serviceAccountCredentials.json
With the content:
*.env*
```
FIREBASE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT=./serviceAccountCredentials.json
FIREBASE_DATABASE_URL=https://[databaseName].firebaseio.com
```
*serviceAccountCredentials.json*
```
