const redis = new Redis(); 

const manager = new SessionManager(redis, {
    namespace: 'myapp',
    additionalFields: ['groupId'],
    ttl: 120 // Default Time-To-Live value in seconds: 120 seconds
  });

const app = express();
 
app.get('/login', async function (req, res) {
  const userName = req.query.userName;
  const pass = req.query.password;
  //...Login application logic here
  
  const session = await sm.create(userName, {
      ttl: 240, // You can overwrite ttl value per session
      groupId: 111 // You can store additional values
  }); 
  res.send('Your session id is '+session.sessionId);
});

app.get('/killSession/:sessionid', async function (req, res) {
  await sm.kill(req.params.sessionid); 
  res.send('Session ' + req.params.sessionid + ' is closed');
});

app.get('/killUser/:userId', async function (req, res) {
  await sm.killUser(req.params.userId); 
  res.send('All sessions for user "' + req.params.userId +'" are closed.');
})
 
app.listen(3000);
