Hey John, thanks for the article. Not much documentation is available for sessions using NestJS so this is article is pretty helpful. That said I did waste a little bit of time because executing app.use(passport.initialize()) would crash using your code sample. After some struggling, I figured out passport is imported incorrectly in your sample code. When importing passport in main.ts, the import should be import passport from 'passport'; instead import * as passport from 'passport';. If you import using the later statement, the initialize function is undefined. You may want to correct this to avoid headaches to developers using code samples from your article to get sessions to work with NestJS :)
I had the same problem using import * as passport from 'passport';
But if replace it with import passport from 'passport';, my app doesn't even boots. It says:
node:25616) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: Cannot read property 'initialize' of undefined

Hi!
I tried
import passport = require('passport');and it seems to work. I'll keep this way for now. Does anyone knows the correct import syntax ?
