Error implementing "connect-mongo"

Of course, this is how I got in db.js: const mongoose = require('mongoose') const User = require('./users');

// mongodb connection mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/StartPitch', {useMongoClient: true}); mongoose.set('debug', true); var db = mongoose.connection; // mongodb error db.on('error', console.error.bind(console, 'connection error:'));

db.once('open', function() { console.log('Connected to mongoDB') });

module.exports = db;

And here is what I got in app.js:

var express = require('express'); var path = require('path'); var favicon = require('serve-favicon'); var logger = require('morgan'); var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser'); var bodyParser = require('body-parser'); var db = require('./app_server/models/db'); var session = require('express-session'); var index = require('./app_server/routes/index'); var MongoStore = require('connect-mongo')(session); var app = express();

// use sessions for tracking app.use(session({ secret: 'Hine lo yanum velo yishan', resave: true, saveUninitialized: false, store: new MongoStore({ mongooseConnection: db }) }))

// make user ID available in templates app.use(function (req, res, next) { res.locals.currentUser = req.session.userId; next(); })

// view engine setup app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'app_server', 'views')); app.set('view engine', 'ejs');

ETC..

and in the shell here is what i got:

module.js:557 throw err; ^

npm install connect-mongodb-session --save

try running this in your terminal

I try it and the error doesn't appear anymore. Thanks for that. However when I logged in and I check in the database the collections I still have 'users' only.

Here is the new code: var express = require('express'); var path = require('path'); var favicon = require('serve-favicon'); var logger = require('morgan'); var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser'); var bodyParser = require('body-parser'); var db = require('./app_server/models/db'); var session = require('express-session'); var index = require('./app_server/routes/index'); var MongoDBStore = require('connect-mongodb-session')(session); var app = express();

// use sessions for tracking app.use(session({ secret: 'This is a secret', resave: true, saveUninitialized: false, store: new MongoDBStore({ mongooseConnection: db }) }))

For your info all other features were working perfectly.

Hi Simon! Your code worked so far? May be upgrade the version of npm and mongo-session.

Try it add semicolon after the app.use(session({}))

I think I found it. Check you code in app.js. The order is wrong first step //mongodb connect, second step //use sessions for tracking logins. Please fixed in your the code. Your code is working now?
