Can't modify the session (Chapter 5)

[rohidas-gowda]

In the chapter 5, In "save session to database" section

req.session.foo = 'bar';

is giving following error

Property 'foo' does not exist on type 'Session & Partial<SessionData>' 

So I am not able to modify the sessions. The error path:

book/5-begin/api/server/api/public.ts

Here is the repo I get the error: https://github.com/rohidas-gowda/saas/blob/master/book/1-begin/api/server/api/public.ts At line 10

@rohidas-gowda Thanks for reporting and sharing your code base.

I tested your code and see the problem. As a quick solution to get the code running, you can write //@ts-ignore above the line req.session.foo = 'bar';.

That worked for me, but I will look into a better solution, if it makes sense for this example in the book.
