I write a code something like this
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var session = require('express-session');
var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');
app.use(cookieParser());
app.use(session({ secret: makerandstr() }))
// ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ this function generate random string
//other node.js setting including fs, body-parser
app.post('/api/v1/login', function(req, res) {
var users = readdata("users");
var sess = req.session;
if (users[req.body.username]) {
if (users[req.body.username].pwd == req.body.password) {
req.session.destroy();
sess.login = true;
sess.username = req.body.username;
sess.role = users[req.body.username].role;
res.redirect(302, '/testsess');
}
} else {
req.session.destroy();
sess.login = false;
sess.loginerror = "User authorize failed";
res.redirect(302, '/login')
}
});
With the above code I tried to clear the data of previous session using req.session.destroy(); function but it seems like you can't store data after you destroy it.
