javascript - Node.JS + Passport.SocketIO: Edit And Save `socket.handshake.user` Properties -

i using node.js (0.10.28), passport.js (0.2.0) + passport-google (0.3.0), , passport.socketio (3.0.1).

currently, able access user created passport.js in app's paths using req.user:

app.get('/profile', function(req, res) {   // send user data   res.send(req.user); }); 

using passport.socketio, able access user in:

io.sockets.on('connection', function(socket) {   // user data   console.log(socket.handshake.user);    //... }); 

it possible edit req.user , 'save' using req._passport.session.user.property = new_property_value in app.get/post/all(...) scope. updates show in io.sockets.on(...) user object.

my question is: possible edit , 'save' socket.handshake.user in io.sockets.on(...) scope updated user show changes in req.user in app.get/post/all(...)? have tried following no avail:

io.sockets.on('connection', function(socket) {   // rename username   socket.handshake.user.username = 'new_username';    //... });  ...  app.get('/profile', function(req, res) {   // send user data   res.send(req.user); // returns {..., username: 'old_username', ...} }); 

use socket.io-sessions (written same author made passport.socketio) change socket.handshake.user in io.sockets.on(...).

code should this:

// initialization ... // ...  io.sockets.on('connection', function(socket) {   socket.handshake.getsession(function (err, session) {     // socket.handshake.user session.passport.user      socket.on(...) { ... }     // ....      // test username change     session.passport.user.username = 'foobar';      // save session     //  note can call anywhere in session scope     socket.handshake.savesession(session, function (err) {       if (err) { // error saving!         console.log('error saving: ', err);         process.exit(1);       }     });   }); });  //...  app.get('/profile', function(req, res) {   // send user data   res.send(req.user); // returns {..., username: 'foobar', ...} });
