Dancer::Session::Abstract(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Dancer::Session::Abstract(3pm)NAMEDancer::Session::Abstract - abstract class for session engineSPECrole A Dancer::Session object represents a session engine and should provide anything needed to manipulate a session, whatever its storing engine is. id The session id will be written to a cookie, by default named "dancer.session", it is assumed that a client must accept cookies to be able to use a session-aware Dancer webapp. (The cookie name can be change using the "session_name" config setting.) storage engine When the session engine is enabled, a before filter takes care to initialize the appropriate session engine (according to the setting "session"). Then, the filter looks for a cookie named "dancer.session" (or whatever you've set the "session_name" setting to, if you've used it) in order to retrieve the current session object. If not found, a new session object is created and its id written to the cookie. Whenever a session call is made within a route handler, the singleton representing the current session object is modified. After terminating the request, a flush is made to the session object.DESCRIPTIONThis virtual class describes how to build a session engine for Dancer. This is done in order to allow multiple session storage backends with a common interface. Any session engine must inherit from Dancer::Session::Abstract and implement the following abstract methods. Configuration These settings control how a session acts. session_name The default session name is "dancer_session". This can be set in your config file: setting session_name: "mydancer_session" session_secure The user's session id is stored in a cookie. If true, this cookie will be made "secure" meaning it will only be served over https. session_expires When the session should expire. The format is either the number of seconds in the future, or the human readable offset from "expires" in Dancer::Cookie. By default, there is no expiration. session_is_http_only This setting defaults to 1 and instructs the session cookie to be created with the "HttpOnly" option active, meaning that JavaScript will not be able to access to its value. Abstract Methods retrieve($id) Look for a session with the given id, return the session object if found, undef if not. create() Create a new session, return the session object. flush() Write the session object to the storage engine. destroy() Remove the current session object from the storage engine. session_name (optional) Returns a string with the name of cookie used for storing the session ID. You should probably not override this; the user can control the cookie name using the "session_name" setting. Inherited Methods The following methods are not supposed to be overloaded, they are generic and should be OK for each session engine. build_id Build a new uniq id. read_session_id Reads the "dancer.session" cookie. write_session_id Write the current session id to the "dancer.session" cookie. perl v5.14.2 2012-01-27 Dancer::Session::Abstract(3pm)
