[Sessions] Support MongoDB as session storage

See original GitHub issue

Issue

We currently have TypeORMStore and RedisStore to store sessions in SQL and Redis databases. It is annoying for people using MongoDB with FoalTS. We should also support MongoDB session storage.

Important! I’m assuming that your clients are sending the session token either via the Authorization header or cookies as described in the documentation

You seem to be doing everything correctly regarding the session store setup. You are getting undefined because foal doesn’t support mongodb session store natively. You have to use the old and manual “express-session” way of managing sessions. This very issue exists to address that.

But while we await its implementation from @LoicPoullain , you can get access to the current request through context.request which you can treat as an express request instance so context.request.session should give you the current session.

Let me know if you need more assistance!
