How to set property to req.session

I am newby in node.js and sessions and I have problem is setting properties to sesssion ! I try to add property to session and save it in db but I get error

here is my codes : app.js : ( main js file )

const store = new MongoDBStore({
    uri : 'mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/OnLineShop',
    collection : 'session'
})

// routes :
app.use(shopRoutes)
app.use('/admin', adminRoutes)
app.use(authroutes)


// session : 
app.use(session(
    {
        secret : 'secret key' , 
        resave : false , 
        saveUninitialized : false , 
        store : store
    }
))

and here is my authentication handler I named it auth.js :

 // rout handler for post login requst : 
    module.exports.postLogin = (req , res)=>{
        // session : 
        req.session.isLoggedIn = true 
        res.redirect('/')

To resolve the issue please change the order of your code from,

// routes :
app.use(shopRoutes)
app.use('/admin', adminRoutes)
app.use(authroutes)


// session : 
app.use(session(
    {
        secret : 'secret key' , 
        resave : false , 
        saveUninitialized : false , 
        store : strore
    }
))

to

// session : 
app.use(session(
    {
        secret : 'secret key' , 
        resave : false , 
        saveUninitialized : false , 
        store : strore
    }
))

// routes :
app.use(shopRoutes)
app.use('/admin', adminRoutes)
app.use(authroutes)
