Cannot connect redisStrore to express-session - node.js

Question

Code:
Express.js
'use strict';
module.exports = function(app, io, server) {
var express = require('express');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var methodOverride = require('method-override');
app.use(bodyParser.json({ type: 'application/vnd.api+json' }));
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
app.use(methodOverride('X-HTTP-Method-Override'));
// Redis
const redis = require('./utils/redis.js')();
app.set('redis', redis);
let isSessionCreated = false;
app.use('*', (req, res, next) => {
if(!isSessionCreated) {
isSessionCreated = true;
require('./middleware/sessionConfig.js')(app);
next();
}
});
// Passport
require('./middleware/passport.js')(app);
// Start Socket
require('./middleware/startSocket')(app, io);
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/dist'));
// Start Webpack
require('./webpack/startWebpack.js')(app);
// routes ==================================================
require('./routes/routes')(app); // configure our routes
require('../config/webpack.dev.js');
}
redis.js
'use strict';
const redis = require('redis'),
session = require('express-session'),
redisStore = require('connect-redis')(session),
redisClient = redis.createClient(),
uuid = require('uuid'),
cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');
module.exports = function() {
console.log('Redis started');
// Connects to Redis Store
const sessionStore = new redisStore({
host: '127.0.0.1',
port: 6379,
client: redisClient,
ttl : 3600000
});
redisClient.on('error', (err)=> {
console.log('could not connect ', err);
});
// Checks for Redis Connection
redisClient.on('connect', ()=> {
console.log('redis connected');
});
return {
set: function(obj) {
console.log('set called: ', obj);
redisClient.set(obj.id, obj.token);
},
sessionStore
}
}
sessionConfig.js
'use strict';
module.exports = function(app) {
const cookieParser = require('cookie-parser'),
session = require('express-session'),
uuid = require('uuid');
// Sets up Express Session
app.use(cookieParser());
console.log('session created');
let redis = app.get('redis');
app.use(session({
name: 'irelief',
secret: 'irelief',
store: redis.sessionStore,
cookie: {
cookieName: 'xyz',
httpOnly: false,
secret: 'irelief',
secure: false,
maxAge: 360000000
},
genid: function(req) {
return uuid.v4();
},
saveUninitialized: false,
resave: true,
rolling: true
}));
}
OUTPUT OF req.session on app.get('/', (req, res))
session: Session {
cookie:
{ path: '/',
_expires: 2017-07-30T22:38:34.653Z,
originalMaxAge: 360000000,
httpOnly: false,
cookieName: 'xyz',
secret: 'irelief',
secure: false } }
I have tried all that was said across any communities, nothing helps so far.
The same problem persists with passport.js
Any help will be awesome
