How to use the session from passportjs - angularjs

Question

I am able to login using passport-local. I want to test if the session created by passport is valid. I am logging in from Angular. When the user logs in, i dont create any manual cookie but see a connect.sid cookie is created. Now from Angular I'm sending another req:
$scope.test = function(){
$http.get('\test').then(function(response){
if(response){
console.log(response);
} else {
console.log("Nothing Returned!");
}
});
}
And in node :
app.use(session({
secret: 'mysecret',
resave: true,
saveUninitialized: true
}));
//Passport Init
app.use(passport.initialize());
app.use(passport.session());
passport.serializeUser(function(user, done) {
done(null, user.id);
});
passport.deserializeUser(function(id, done) {
User.findById(id, function(err, user) {
done(err, user);
});
});
app.get('\test', function(req, res){
//Tried the following (one at a time) :
var user = req.user;
var user = req[user];
var user = req["user"];
var user = req.session;
console.log(user);
res.send(user);
});
None of the above works. I get res code 200 but nothing in response.data in Angular and nothing in undefined in node console.
Im doing this cause I think :
After user logs in, Passportjs creates session is persisted until its destroyed by logout.
After user logs in, there is no need to create a cookie and send it to Angular. Passport does this automatically.
When Angular sends any request, node can access the session of req and verify with it's own session.
Am I correct with all these 3 points?
Many thanks!
EDIT
My mongoose schema:
var UserSchema = mongoose.Schema({
id : {type:String, default:"abc123"},
username: {type:String, index: true},
password: String,
email: {type:String, unique:true}
});
module.exports = mongoose.model('User', UserSchema);
EDIT 2
Adding output that i get when placed the express session before passport session
EDIT 3
My strategy :
passport.use(new LocalStrategy(
function(username, password, done){
User.findOne({username: username}, function(err, doc){
if(err) {
// console.log(err);
return done(err);
}
return done(null, doc);
});
}
));

Answer 1

You need to change the order, put 'express session' before 'passport session'. It should work this way:
app.use(session({
secret: 'mysecret',
resave: true,
saveUninitialized: true
}));
app.use(passport.initialize());
app.use(passport.session());

Answer 2

Are you calling passport.initialize() and passport.session() ?
passport.session is the call that reads the cookie and stores user in req object.
