How to store data from session using Express-session












0















Here is my function:



exports.dashboard = function(req, res ,next) {





console.log(req.session);

var userForCheck =  req.session.user_name;

console.log(user);

}


in my console screen it's printed out req.session like this :



Sess {

 cookie:

  { path: '/',

   _expires: 2018-11-16T03:18:31.896Z,

   originalMaxAge: 59999,

  httpOnly: true }

user: { user_name: 'given001', password: '123' } }


but the user variable is



 undefinded


how can i store user_name in userForCheck variable without undefined?






node.js express session

  • in your code, user will always be undefined, because you never assign it. Try: var user = req.session.user and then console.log(user). From there you can use user like console.log(user.user_name)
