NAME

Mojolicious::Sessions - Signed cookie based sessions

SYNOPSIS

  use Mojolicious::Sessions;

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. 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

  $session->load($c);

Load session data from signed cookie.

store

  $session->store($c);
