Discussion on: Setting Up Sessions with NestJS, Passport, and Redis

[khaled al hamwie]

hi nice blog thank you for the effort
I would like to point to that the code inside the app.module in the source need to be changed to

// src/app.module.ts

import { Inject, Logger, MiddlewareConsumer, Module, NestModule } from '@nestjs/common';
// used to be import * as  RedisStore from 'connect-redis';
import  RedisStore from 'connect-redis';
import * as session from 'express-session';
import * as passport from 'passport';

import { AppController } from './app.controller';
import { AppService } from './app.service';
import { AuthModule } from './auth';
import { REDIS, RedisModule } from './redis';

@Module({
  imports: [AuthModule, RedisModule],
  providers: [AppService, Logger],
  controllers: [AppController],
})
export class AppModule implements NestModule {
  constructor(@Inject(REDIS) private readonly redis: RedisClient) {}
  configure(consumer: MiddlewareConsumer) {
    consumer
      .apply(
        session({
// used to be new (RedisStore(session))({ client: this.redis, logErrors: true }),
          store: new RedisStore({ client: this.redis }),
          saveUninitialized: false,
          secret: 'sup3rs3cr3t',
          resave: false,
          cookie: {
            sameSite: true,
            httpOnly: false,
            maxAge: 60000,
          },
        }),
        passport.initialize(),
        passport.session(),
      )
      .forRoutes('*');
  }
}

and you also need to remove the package @types/connect-redis and the legacy option in redis.module.ts in the Redius.createClient check the git hub link bellow
