Best tutorial.

[@yurikanaeru634]

thank you very much

[@danielouattara3857]

Thank you Anson for the material you provide to all of us. In this course Anson artificially alters the session object in the index.js, at `app.get('/', ...)`, so that when he makes a request using development tools like `thunder client` or `postman`, the output of `console.log(req.sessionID)` will always be the same on any request. This tries to justify how applications sever can keep track of user for subsequent requests. Cool ! And the game is totally different on a real web browser: there, developers don't have to do anything on the session object and the sessionID value will remain the same. Am I wrong Anson ?

excellent

[@abdullhaseeb4157]

for me without setting session.visited = true the session id is same , is that a problem?

[@hasibalfuad9652]

i think it is monolisa, u can use cascade mono as it is free

[@josephkoh1562]

hey anson i have a qn... So for example, when u visit the ecomm web app how does the app knows whether to render an admin login page or user login page? As i know usually there is a different login page based on the user role like admin and user

[@ansonthedev]

Usually you'd setup roles for a user on the server side, and the client side will see the roles property when the user data is fetched. If the user is trying to visit an admin page or restricted page, you want to check if they have the correct role first before granting access.

even with the visited set to true , its still generating new sessions for the same requests

[@ansonthedev]

Check your Session config again.

@@hugosenee2504 just put your code that related to session at chatgpt and tell it why its still generate a new session even though the visited set to true and make an explanation about it. ChatGPT is my best friend lol.
