Usage with express-session​

const express = require('express');
const session = require('express-session');
const app = express();

const server = require('http').createServer(app);
const io = require('socket.io')(server);

const sessionMiddleware = session({ secret: 'keyboard cat', cookie: { maxAge: 60000 }});
// register middleware in Express
app.use(sessionMiddleware);
// register middleware in Socket.IO
io.use((socket, next) => {
sessionMiddleware(socket.request, {}, next);
// sessionMiddleware(socket.request, socket.request.res, next); will not work with websocket-only
// connections, as 'socket.request.res' will be undefined in that case
});

io.on('connection', (socket) => {
const session = socket.request.session;
session.connections++;
session.save();
});

const port = process.env.PORT || 3000;
server.listen(port, () => console.log('server listening on port ' + port));
