How can I maintain my SESSIONS in Node JS ? E.g I want to store UserID in SESSION using Node Js. How can I do that in Node JS ? And can I use that Node JS SESSION in PHP too ?

I want

php $_SESSION['user'] = $userId; ?>

In Node Js.

First install session

npm install express-session --save

initialization Session on your server page

var express     =   require('express');

var session     =   require('express-session');

var app         =   express();

app.use(session({secret: 'ssshhhhh',saveUninitialized: true,resave: true}));

store session

sess=req.session;

var user_id=1;

sess.user_id=user_id;

Access Session

sess=req.session;

sess.user_id
