Storing authenticated twitter client

[LouieChen24]

After completing the 3-legged-oauth process, I've created a new twitter Client using the login(oauth_verifier) method.

How can I save this client throughout the session of a user so I can access it throughout different Express endpoints? It seems that if I save it to req.session I have to reauthenticate/login to the client each time.

  const { client: userClient } = await requestClient.login(oauth_verifier);
  req.session.client = userClient;
  console.log(req.session.client);
  res.redirect('/home');

Outputs

TwitterApi {
  _currentUser: null,
  _currentUserV2: null,
  _requestMaker: ClientRequestMaker {
    rateLimits: {},
    clientSettings: {},
    _oauth: OAuth1Helper { nonceLength: 32, consumerKeys: [Object] }
  }
}

Session in redirect outputs

{
  _currentUser: null,
  _currentUserV2: null,
  _requestMaker: {
    rateLimits: {},
    clientSettings: {},
    _oauth: { nonceLength: 32, consumerKeys: [Object] }
  }
}
