Sessions
The ctrl.activateSessions method and the related util-sessions-local Foxx service have been replaced with the Foxx sessions middleware. It is no longer possible to use the built-in session storage but you can simply pass in any document collection directly.
Old:
const localSessions = applicationContext.dependencies.localSessions;
const sessionStorage = localSessions.sessionStorage;
ctrl.activateSessions({
sessionStorage: sessionStorage,
cookie: {secret: 'keyboardcat'}
});
ctrl.destroySession('/logout', function (req, res) {
res.json({message: 'Goodbye!'});
});
New:
const sessionMiddleware = require('@arangodb/foxx/sessions');
const cookieTransport = require('@arangodb/foxx/sessions/transports/cookie');
router.use(sessionMiddleware({
storage: module.context.collection('sessions'),
transport: cookieTransport('keyboardcat')
}));
router.post('/logout', function (req, res) {
req.sessionStorage.clear(req.session);
res.json({message: 'Goodbye!'});
});
