Feature Request: session event hooks

[RobiFerentz]

Please please PLEASE add event hooks for session start, session end and anything else you can think of that happens on the session scope.

I don't understand what you mean. What session scope?

[RobiFerentz]

Other server side languages have session events you can use like session_start, session_end etc. It would be nice to have in node/io too.
Expressjs does not supply such events as far as I know. You can set up some session data, but you can't really do anything complex there.

[bnoordhuis]

Core doesn't have a concept of sessions, that's left to higher-level frameworks like express, hapi, loopback, etc. Core only deals with requests and connections. Sorry, I'm going to close this issue; it's out of scope, no pun intended.

[RobiFerentz]

Well, then it's pretty crappy that none of them seem to actually have this functionality as far as I know.

This could even be better implemented as extension for those mentioned
frameworks or as a custom module if really needed.

Yeah. Should actually be trivial to implement in express, depending on what you mean by session end, though.
