session-cache

library0.2.0jsnpmunverified

Session storage for tasks, designed to pass data between gulp tasks or similar workflow steps. Current stable version is 0.2.0, released in 2015 with no updates since. It provides a simple context-based session object to store and retrieve key-value pairs, with methods to bind functions and EventEmitters. Lacks TypeScript support, tests, and modern ESM compatibility. Alternatives include async hooks or more maintained session libraries.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

default

✓ import session from 'session-cache'

✗ const { session } = require('session-cache')

The package exports a factory function via module.exports, so it can be imported as a default import in ESM or required directly.

require

✓ const session = require('session-cache')

✗ const { createSession } = require('session-cache')

CommonJS require returns the factory function directly; there is no named export.

factory

✓ session('my-app')

✗ new session('my-app')

The function returned by require/import is a factory that creates a session instance; do not use 'new'.

Demonstrates creating a session, setting/getting values, binding a function, and binding an EventEmitter.

// Create a session instance const session = require('session-cache')('my-app'); // Set and get values session.set('key', 'value'); console.log(session.get('key')); // 'value' // Bind a function to the session context function myTask(data, next) { console.log(this.get('key')); next(); } session.bind(myTask); // Bind an EventEmitter const EventEmitter = require('events'); const emitter = new EventEmitter(); session.bindEmitter(emitter);

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe package uses `new Function` internally which can be unsafe if untrusted input is passed to session names or keys.

fix

Validate session names and keys to avoid code injection.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaNo TypeScript definitions available; manual type declaration needed.

fix

Create a .d.ts file or use type assertions.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaThe package is unmaintained since 2015 and may have unpatched vulnerabilities.

fix

Consider migrating to an actively maintained session library.

affects: >=0.0.0

deprecatedUses `require('session-cache')` which is CommonJS; no ESM export.

fix

Use dynamic import if needed in ESM: `const session = (await import('session-cache')).default;`

affects: >=0.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

TypeError: session is not a function

Importing the module incorrectly, e.g. using named import when only default export exists.

fix

Use `const session = require('session-cache');` or `import session from 'session-cache';`

Cannot find module 'session-cache'

Package not installed or typo in package name.

fix

Run `npm i session-cache --save` and ensure the package name is correct.

TypeError: this.get is not a function

Using `bind` on a function that is not called within the session context properly.

fix

Ensure you call `session.bind(fn)` and that `fn` is invoked with the correct `this`.
