Session middleware for bus.io that uses express-session.

var bus = require('bus.io')();
var session = require('bus.io-session');
bus.use(session());

The underlying component is socket.io-handshake.
Which means this middleware component accepts the same configuration options. Here is a complete example.

var expressSession = require('express-session');
var RedisStore = require('connect-redis')(expressSession);
var sessionStore = new RedisStore();
var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');
var session = require('bus.io-session');

var bus = require('bus.io')(3000);
bus.use(session({store: sessionStore, key:'sid', secret:'secret', parser:cookieParser()}));
