connect-redis is a Redis session store backed by node_redis, and is insanely fast :). Requires redis >= 2.0.0 for the SETEX command.
connect-redis >= 1.0.0 support only connect >= 1.0.0.
$ npm install connect-redis

createClient()method.
Due to npm 1.x changes, we now need to pass connect to the function connect-redis exports in order to extend connect.session.Store:
var connect = require('connect')
, RedisStore = require('connect-redis')(connect);
connect.createServer(
connect.cookieParser(),
connect.session({ store: new RedisStore(options), secret: 'keyboard cat' })
);
This means express users may do the following, since express.session.Store points to the connect.session.Store function:
var RedisStore = require('connect-redis')(express);
