Hi,

I found a strange issue where the sessions are not timed out after the specified time.

app.use(session({
    secret: 'jwtsecret',
    resave:false,
    saveUninitialized:true,
    store: sessionstore.createSessionStore({
      type: 'mongodb',
      host: 'localhost',         // optional
      port: 27017,               // optional
      dbName: 'dbName',       // optional
      collectionName: 'sessions',// optional
      timeout: 10000             // optional
  })
}));

sessions are created correctly but are not timed out or deleted according to the given timeout. Can you please help here/

There is a Warning: Warning: The TTL index does not guarantee that expired data will be deleted immediately. There may be a delay between the time a document expires and the time that MongoDB removes the document from the database.

That's why I've introduced this: https://github.com/adrai/sessionstore/blob/master/lib/databases/mongodb.js#L213
