Session is not defined in Express

I've included the cookie-parser before the session (not sure if needed with the current versions), imported express-session as visible. If I change session to express.session on line 8 I get a deprecation error (not warning).

var express = require('express'),
    cookieParser = require('cookie-parser'),
    expressSession = require('express-session'),
    port = process.env.PORT || 3000;

app = express();

app.use(cookieParser());
app.use(session({
    secret: "yadayada",
    resave: true,
    saveUninitialized: true
}));

app.get('/', function (req, res) {
    console.log(req.session);
    console.log(req.cookies);
});

app.listen(port);

same question...... but https://github.com/expressjs/session?_ga=1.45435812.1066105876.1451139756

app.use(session({
  genid: function(req) {
    return genuuid() // use UUIDs for session IDs
  },
  secret: 'keyboard cat'
}))

session is not defined on line 9 because you have it declared as expressSession at the top i.e. 

expressSession = require('express-session')

Either rename the declaration to session or update line 9 to call expressSession i.e.

app.use(expressSession({ ... }));
