Does expressjs/nodejs have support (via a module?) for database sessions? I come from the world of PHP/CodeIgniter and I've enjoyed the features of storing session data in a mysql database table.
Is this approach used with nodejs web apps?

By default, express-session creates a new MemoryStore instance for storing session data in server. However, in production, it is not recommended to use the default memory store, as mentioned in the official documentation. We should use other modules, such as connect-redis , a Redis-based session store.
var session = require('express-session') To expire the session after 1 min of inactivity in express-session of Express.
Express-session - an HTTP server-side framework used to create and manage a session middleware. This tutorial is all about sessions. Thus Express-session library will be the main focus. Cookie-parser - used to parse cookie header to store data on the browser whenever a session is established on the server-side.
Cookie session is basically used for lightweight session applications where the session data is stored in a cookie but within the client [browser], whereas, Express Session stores just a mere session identifier within a cookie in the client end, whilst storing the session data entirely on the server.
Yes.
It's quite simple to implement your own, see documentation here.
