Use with fastify about connect-redis HOT 6 OPEN

Ended up writing a small store of my own, simply just set/get/delete the values in the set, get and destroy method of the store options.

from connect-redis.

I built an application that used connect-redis with @fastify/session in 2022 and it all worked perfectly. Now I tried updating the connect-redis package to v7 and breaks irrepairably.
Seems unfortunate to have broken the usage of the package with fastify all together as I suppose now I'll have to do a custom implementation like @FC5570 and uninstall the connect-redis package.
Was this intentional when publishing v7? @wavded
Would it be possible to publish a different import that allows setting the session object to something other than express-session?

Seems like this should be doable, was unaware that this was being used for other session managers so my apologies there. Looks like @fastify must have mimicked the connect-session API for this to have worked prior.

@mrbrianevans I am able to run connect-redis and fastify in my testing. However the connect-session may still need to be installed (only used for typing information). This program tested fine for me:

import {fastifyCookie} from "@fastify/cookie"
import {fastifySession} from "@fastify/session"
import fastify from "fastify"
import {createClient} from "redis"
import RedisStore from "connect-redis"

declare module "fastify" {
  interface Session {
    foo: string
  }
}

let redisClient = createClient()
redisClient.connect().catch(console.error)

let redisStore = new RedisStore({
  client: redisClient,
  prefix: "myapp:",
})

const app = fastify()

app.register(fastifyCookie)
app.register(fastifySession, {
  store: redisStore,
  secret: "a secret with minimum length of 32 characters",
  cookie: {secure: false},
})

app.get("/", (req, res) => {
  res.send("data: " + req.session.foo)
})

app.get("/set", (req, res) => {
  req.session.foo = (req.query as any).data
  res.send("set data")
})

app.listen({port: 3000})

We probably could make the types generic so you wouldn't need to install connect-session.
