how to set individual session maxAge in express?
Problem
I understand that you can set the Maxage when starting up the app as follows:
connect.session({ secret: 'keyboard cat', cookie: { maxAge: 60000 }})
However, i would like to implement something along the lines of "remember me" setting, how would i go about doing that?
Thanks a lot :)

Solution
You can set either expires
or maxAge
on the individual cookie belonging to the current user:
// This user should log in again after restarting the browser
req.session.cookie.expires = false;
// This user won't have to log in for a year
req.session.cookie.maxAge = 365 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
See connect session documentation.
