Web Development πŸš€ A–Z of Full Stack Development πŸ“£Today we are launching A-Z Full Stack series breaking down different Full Stack concepts in a simple, practical, beginner friendly way. This are the topics we are going to coverπŸ‘‡ A - Authentication πŸ” Verifying user identity…
πŸ”€ S - Sessions 🎫

Sessions are used to store user data across multiple requests 🧠

In simple words 
A session helps the server 
remember the user after login πŸ”

Without sessions ❌ 
β€’ User must login again and again 
β€’ No user state tracking 
β€’ Poor user experience 

🧠 What Sessions Store
β€’ User login status πŸ‘€ 
β€’ User ID πŸ†” 
β€’ Preferences βš™οΈ 
β€’ Temporary data πŸ“¦ 

🌍 Real World Examples
β€’ Staying logged in after login 
β€’ Keeping items in cart 
β€’ Remembering user settings 
β€’ Accessing private pages 

πŸ”„ How Sessions Work
User logs in πŸ‘€ 
Server creates a session 🎫 
Session ID is stored in cookie πŸͺ 
Server uses session ID to identify user πŸ” 

πŸ’» Example: Session in Express

const session = require("express-session");

app.use(
  session({
    secret: "mySecret",
    resave: false,
    saveUninitialized: true
  })
);

app.get("/login", (req, res) => {
  req.session.user = "Ravi";
  res.send("Logged in");
});
