I am implementing a system where session data is stored in the cookie. This system doesn't require a memorystore or redis support which makes it attractive. However, I am confused on which middleware to add.
Should I add the default cookieSession() which comes bundled with connect or the third party connect-cookie-session.
Oh and I am running the latest node version(0.8.16) and express version(3.0.0)
connect-cookie-session didn't have any commits for more than a year. That's a good indicator of an abandoned project, especially since there still are two open issues on the issue tracker (meaning it's not inactive because there's nothing that can be done better). It also has 2 pull requests pending acceptation for some time now.
I'd go with the default one.
