Express: session store, query session key Redis

app.use(express.session({
      store: new RedisStore({
        host: 'localhost',
        port: 6379,
        db: 0,
        pass: 'RedisPASS'
      }),
      secret: '1234567890QWERTY'
    }));

The above creates a session store in Redis. But the entry of session data is in some random key like sess:0t-8-qJG5s0e3w4oGhBjxgAH. What is best way to get the key of the session established?

This should do the trick:

var key = req.sessionStore.prefix + req.sessionID;

(obviously you need to run this code in a middleware or a route handler)

If you want to use a different prefix than sess do it like this:

app.use(express.session({
      store: new RedisStore({
        host: 'localhost',
        port: 6379,
        db: 0,
        pass: 'RedisPASS',
        prefix: 'mycustomprefix'
      }),
      secret: '1234567890QWERTY'
}));
