backlog for [email protected]

I’m opening this issue to discuss a potential version 2 of express-session. Here are some things that could be included in this version 2:

• Drop support for Node.js <18.
• Code modernization (Migrate to new ES syntax)
• Add type definition files (.d.ts).
• Use cookie v1, which introduces breaking changes.
• Add support for HTTP/2 (there’s a PR that partially addresses this refactor: replaced _implicitHeader #908).
• Fix the res.end error: Proxy res.end(callback) calls correctly #751.
• Do not remove the legacy session: feat: Option to allow regenerate() to preserve old session #419
• Allow OPTIONS * requests to pass cookie path check for default setting #977.
• Provide an asynchronous API: [FEATURE REQUEST] Session Async Methods #952 feat: Promise API fastify/session#78.
• Improve debug mode: src: more debug statements #708 additional debug statements #986.

These are the issues and PRs I’ve identified as relevant for a version 2. I’d appreciate any feedback to move forward with modernizing this package.

This sounds great! Let use this issue as a backlog. I will create a branch v2 where we can land PRs

@bjohansebas seems like we have already a milestone https://github.com/expressjs/session/milestone/1 for v2.x . Maybe we can rescue some ideas from there and use re-use the milestone. WDYT?

Sure, I hadn't noticed that this Milestone for v2 already existed. Happy to review it when I have access to my computer.
