Is it necessary to call socket.request.session.reload() if express-session is being used?

In developing a web application, I have integrated express and socket.io to enhance its functionality. One of the challenges I encountered is accessing the most updated version of express-session in socket.io without having to use 

socket.request.session.reload(()=>{})
. Is there another method to achieve this seamlessly?

I attempted using Redisstore as a store for express session by implementing the code 

store: new Redisstore({client: redisclient})
, but it did not yield the expected results. Could there be a different approach that I missed?

Furthermore, I am looking for suggestions on how to avoid race conditions when socket.io and express are simultaneously manipulating or utilizing data, leading to synchronization issues during reloads. Any insights on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Answer №1

While it may not be the perfect solution, I stumbled upon a solid method: Utilize redisjson as the storage solution, enabling the ability to modify specific parts of the data asynchronously. This approach significantly reduced the time required to save the session (from 8-12 to 6-8 ms), although these timing estimates are not completely precise due to limited testing. Moreover, it streamlined the process of saving individual data components efficiently within just 2ms, minimizing the risk of collisions and performance issues.
