How to recreate Express Sessions

[Jordan]

I'm using Redis as my sessionstore.  Given only the session id, I'd like to create a session object, so that I can have the session object whilst using session.io.  But most importantly, I want this session object to update Redis when I make a change to it (just like how request.session behaves).

Is this possible?  I haven't gotten it to work :(

_testSession: (sStore, sId) ->

console.log 'called _testSession with session id: ' + sId

sStore.get sId, (error, session) ->

expressSession = new Session 

sessionId: sId

sessionStore: sStore

, session

expressSession.foo = 17

console.log 'set expressSession.foo to: ' + expressSession.foo

setTimeout (()->

sStore.get sId, (error, session) ->

console.log 'foo = ' + session.foo

), 1000

This prints:

called _testSession with session id: SikwJgH5CnDPE64FhmvVSaS3.eqy5UHIqIWY3QM3EFlIrFGvjU2dvjhPBBcWSl7LiAqc

set expressSession.foo to: 17

foo = undefined

Thanks so much!

Sorry, the code should read:

expressSession = new Session 

sessionID: sId

sessionStore: sStore

, session

expressSession.foo = 17

However, this still didn't change my output :(

Hrrm, looks like I'm forced to call expressSession.save().
