I have a simple nodejs/express application by this example. In that view there is checking everyauth.loggedIn variable, but in my application I don't use everyauth module I use the following code instead:

req.session.auth = user;

How can I get access to req.session.auth in a view in this case?

You'll need to use a dynamicHelper to expose anything in the session object (or the session object itself). You can do something like this in your app.js:

app.dynamicHelpers({
  auth: function(req, res){
    return req.session.auth;
  }
});

Then in your views, you will have an auth variable that points to the session object. For example:

You are logged in as
