cassandra-store

Implementation of the session storage in Apache Cassandra as express middleware.

Installation

$ npm install cassandra-store

Options

• contactPoints: [ "host1", "host2" ]
• keyspace: "tests"
• protocolOptions: JSON object { "port": 9042 }

For example:

{
    "contactPoints": [ "localhost" ],
    "keyspace": "tests",
    "protocolOptions": {
        "port": 9042
    },
    "authProvider": {
        "username": "",
        "password": ""
    }
}

Other options come from the Cassandra client driver directly (version 2.0). See: http://www.datastax.com/documentation/developer/nodejs-driver/2.0/nodejs-driver/

Configuring the database

To create the table in the Cassandra database, you need the execute the following CQL commands:

CREATE KEYSPACE tests
  WITH replication = {'class': 'SimpleStrategy', 'dataCenterName': 1};
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS sessions (
   sid text PRIMARY KEY,
   sobject text
);

Usage

Usage within express:

var session = require("express-session");
var CassandraStore = require("cassandra-store")(session);

app.use(session({
    store: new CassandraStore(options),
    ...
}));
