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.

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.
