ExpressRedisSvelte

A quickstart for a webapp built with

• frontend: SvelteKit
• backend: ExpressJS, Redis

Features

• Authentication
• Redis backend

Setup

• create a redis database
  • I used redis.com
• add your redis credentials to server/src/index.ts

const client = redis.createClient({
    url: 'redis://redis-[...].cloud.redislabs.com:1234',
    password: ''
});

• set a secret for the express-session

app.use(session({
    secret: '',
    ...
})

• set the passport types in static.d.ts to be accessed on the ExpressRequest and Response object

declare namespace Express {
    export interface Request {
        user: {
            id: string
            email: string
        };
        logout: ()=>any
    }
    export interface Response {
        ...
    }
  }
