Typescript: Property 'sessionStore' does not exist on type 'Request<...>'

[bradenmitchell]

• I'm submitting a ... [X] bug report [ ] feature request [ ] question about the decisions made in the repository [ ] question about how to use this project

• Summary I am not sure if this issue is related to connect-mongo itself or express-session more broadly. When using Typescript and trying to access the session store on the request object, VS Code displays the error:

  Property 'sessionStore' does not exist on type 'Request<{}, any, any, ParsedQs, Record<string, any>>'

  This error is displayed both when explicitly typing req as express.Request and when allowing express to implicitly type it. However, if explicitly typing as req: any, the error is not displayed and the sessionStore acts as expected.

  For example: The following code has the type error app.get('/sessions', ( req: Request, res: Response ) => { req.sessionStore.all(( err, sessions ) => { res.json( sessions )} ) }

  whereas the code below does not have the type error app.get('/sessions', ( req: any, res: Response ) => { req.sessionStore.all(( err, sessions ) => { res.json( sessions )} ) }

• Other information (e.g. detailed explanation, stack traces, related issues, suggestions how to fix, links for us to have context, eg. StackOverflow, personal fork, etc.)

May I ask where should the sessionStore comes from / provide? Can't see it in connect-mongo, so it should be coming from express-session?
