Express.js sessions reset at server restart

I am using the express-session package with a custom MongoDB based session store, but for some reason the sessions are deleted everytime I stop and re-run the script.

From looking at the database I can see that the sessions are saved.

Any ideas?

You can use connect-mongo for storing sessions in database so that it would persist even after restarting the node server.

Here is an example on how you can use it. Example is from its Readme.

var session    = require('express-session');
var MongoStore = require('connect-mongo')(session);

app.use(session({
    secret: settings.cookie_secret,
    store: new MongoStore({
      db : settings.db,
    })
  }));
