Question

I am developing an application with Express. I am using memory to store sessions at the moment. However, I would like to store them in mongodb.

I know I can just develop a store (it’s just 5 functions). However, I was wondering: is there a good library to do that? I installed connect-mongodb, but apart from the fact that it has ancient versions of connect, bson, mongodb etc. as dependencies… I was wondering what the “current” established way to do this was.

I just found connect-mongo too (just to add to the mix).

Hints?

I touched on this in an answer to your other question, but older versions of dependencies don’t necessarily mean a module is broken; if the module works with your version of MongoDB and has its own tests that pass, it’s very likely it’s fine (though it is sometimes worth determining if old versions of modules it depends on had dangerous bugs).

If you decide you don’t want to use the module due to the outdated dependencies, you might also look into other modules that are more up to date; at a glance, connect-mongodb might be a candidate.
