  What's the recommended way to add timestamps to Session documents? I'm looking for something similar to this behavior in mongoose. My naive approach would be to use the serialize hook to add a createdAt property there. If that's the best way it could be nice to have a more declarative way to add this field.

Hello @ilias-t I took a look into the projects file since I have the same feeling that having some timestamps maybe of use. At first glance it seems the InternalSessionType should be extended with that property createdAt then on session object creation it should be initialized right before removing the lastModified prop from the session object before update.

Rephrasing your mongoose reference maybe we are shooting for something like:

...connect-mongo will then set createdAt when the document is first inserted (create event fires), and update updatedAt whenever you update the document (update/set events fire).

Sending a forked tryout to discuss further this idea.
