Re: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'MongoDBSessionStorage')

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'MongoDBSessionStorage')

I am having issues setting up session storage with MongoDB for my app and getting the TypeError described in the title. 

 

After referring to the Read.me and shopify-api-node/src/auth/session/storage at main · Shopify/shopify-api-node (github.com) I configured the Shopify.Context.initialize SESSION_STORAGE for a MongoDB database. I have tried both methods, withCredentials and without. I can see in my GUI for MongoDB there is some connection happening regardless of the error. I have also verified that I can connect to the DB with those same credentials but outside of the Shopify.Auth.Session.MongoDBSessionStorage method. 

 

Has anyone else had this issue? I'm not sure what else to do.

 

 

 

  // This should be replaced with your preferred storage strategy
  // SESSION_STORAGE: Shopify.Auth.Session.MongoDBSessionStorage.withCredentials(
  //   "cluster0.xyz123.mongodb.net",
  //   "DBName",
  //   "verified_username",
  //   "verified_password"
  // ),
  SESSION_STORAGE: new Shopify.Auth.Session.MongoDBSessionStorage(
    "mongodb+srv://verified_username:verified_password@cluster0.xyz123.mongodb.net/?retryWrites=true&w=majority",
    "DBName"
  ),

// I also tried a different version of the connecting url that was closer to the documentation: mongodb://verified_username:verified_password@cluster0.xyz123.mongodb.net/

// Verified Connection in the same index.js by use of console.log() and monitoring DB

import { MongoClient, ServerApiVersion } from "mongodb";
const uri =
  "mongodb+srv://verified_usernmae:verified_password@cluster0.xyz123.mongodb.net/?retryWrites=true&w=majority";
const client = new MongoClient(uri, {
  useNewUrlParser: true,
  useUnifiedTopology: true,
  serverApi: ServerApiVersion.v1,
});
async function run() {
  try {
    await client.connect();

    // perform actions on the collection object
    await client.db("admin").command({ ping: 1 });
    console.log("Connected successfully to server");
  } finally {
    await client.close();
  }
}

run().catch(console.dir);

This is an accepted solution.

Get rid of Auth. Just use Shopify.Session.MongoDBSessionStorage

The solution is from another dev in Discord:

Hi,

Same here. Have you found a solution? 

It doesn't work even with a local MongoDB server.

That worked, thank you! I am having trouble accessing that Discord channel, would you be able to share the name?

The server is https://discord.gg/Djmr4Psb

The channels I normally browse are building-apps, dev-talk, and developer-experience, and a couple of others.

As far as I can see, the new Shopify's JS library changed a lot. See here:

https://github.com/Shopify/shopify-app-js/tree/main/packages/shopify-app-session-storage-mongodb

If you are using the old version, just delete the '.Auth' in the sample code.

Like from this:

 

...
SESSION_STORAGE: new Shopify.Auth.Session.MongoDBSessionStorage(
    "mongodb+srv://etc-etc-etc", "DBName"
),
...

to this:

...
SESSION_STORAGE: new Shopify.Session.MongoDBSessionStorage(
    "mongodb+srv://etc-etc-etc", "DBName"
),
...
