NAME
Dancer2::Core::Session - class to represent any session object
VERSION
version 1.1.2
DESCRIPTION
A session object encapsulates anything related to a specific session: its ID, its data, and its expiration.
It is completely agnostic of how it will be stored, this is the role of a factory that consumes Dancer2::Core::Role::SessionFactory to know about that.
Generally, session objects should not be created directly. The correct way to get a new session object is to call the create() method on a session engine that implements the SessionFactory role. This is done automatically by the app object if a session engine is defined.
ATTRIBUTES
id
The identifier of the session object. Required. By default, Dancer2::Core::Role::SessionFactory sets this to a randomly-generated, guaranteed-unique string.
This attribute can be modified if your Session implementation requires this.
data
Contains the data of the session (Hash).
expires
Number of seconds for the expiry of the session cookie. Don't add the current timestamp to it, will be done automatically.
Default is no expiry (session cookie will leave for the whole browser's session).
For a lifetime of one hour:
expires => 3600is_dirty
Boolean value for whether data in the session has been modified.
METHODS
read
Reader on the session data
my $value = $session->read('something');Returns undef if the key does not exist in the session.
write
Writer on the session data
$session->write('something', $value);Sets is_dirty to true. Returns $value.
delete
Deletes a key from session data
$session->delete('something');Sets is_dirty to true. Returns the value deleted from the session.
