NAME¶
Mojolicious::Sessions - Signed cookie based sessions
SYNOPSIS¶
use Mojolicious::Sessions;
my $sessions = Mojolicious::Sessions->new;
DESCRIPTION¶
Mojolicious::Sessions is a very simple signed cookie based session
implementation. All data gets serialized with Mojo::JSON and stored on the
client-side, but is protected from unwanted changes with a signature.
ATTRIBUTES¶
Mojolicious::Sessions implements the following attributes.
"cookie_domain"¶
my $domain = $session->cookie_domain;
$session = $session->cookie_domain('.example.com');
Domain for session cookie, not defined by default.
"cookie_name"¶
my $name = $session->cookie_name;
$session = $session->cookie_name('session');
Name of the signed cookie used to store session data, defaults to
"mojolicious".
"cookie_path"¶
my $path = $session->cookie_path;
$session = $session->cookie_path('/foo');
Path for session cookie, defaults to "/".
"default_expiration"¶
my $time = $session->default_expiration;
$session = $session->default_expiration(3600);
Time for the session to expire in seconds from now, defaults to 3600. The
expiration timeout gets refreshed for every request. Setting the value to 0
will allow sessions to persist until the browser window is closed, this can
have security implications though. For more control you can also use the
"expires" session value to set the expiration date to a specific
time in epoch seconds.
# Expire a week from now
$c->session(expires => time + 604800);
# Expire a long long time ago
$c->session(expires => 1);
"secure"¶
my $secure = $session->secure;
$session = $session->secure(1);
Set the secure flag on all session cookies, so that browsers send them only over
HTTPS connections.
METHODS¶
Mojolicious::Sessions inherits all methods from Mojo::Base and implements the
following ones.
"load"¶
$session->load(Mojolicious::Controller->new);
Load session data from signed cookie.
"store"¶
$session->store(Mojolicious::Controller->new);
Store session data in signed cookie.
