Mojolicious::Sessions - Signed cookie based session manager
use Mojolicious::Sessions; my $sessions = Mojolicious::Sessions->new; $sessions->cookie_name('myapp'); $sessions->default_expiration(86400);
Mojolicious::Sessions manages simple signed cookie based sessions for Mojolicious. All data gets serialized with Mojo::JSON and stored Base64 encoded on the client-side, but is protected from unwanted changes with a HMAC-SHA1 signature.
Base64
HMAC-SHA1
Mojolicious::Sessions implements the following attributes.
cookie_domain
my $domain = $sessions->cookie_domain; $sessions = $sessions->cookie_domain('.example.com');
Domain for session cookies, not defined by default.
cookie_name
my $name = $sessions->cookie_name; $sessions = $sessions->cookie_name('session');
Name for session cookies, defaults to mojolicious.
mojolicious
cookie_path
my $path = $sessions->cookie_path; $sessions = $sessions->cookie_path('/foo');
Path for session cookies, defaults to /.
/
default_expiration
my $time = $sessions->default_expiration; $sessions = $sessions->default_expiration(3600);
Default time for sessions 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 expiration and expires session values.
3600
0
expiration
expires
# Expiration date in epoch seconds from now (persists between requests) $c->session(expiration => 604800); # Expiration date as absolute epoch time (only valid for one request) $c->session(expires => time + 604800); # Delete whole session by setting an expiration date in the past $c->session(expires => 1);
secure
my $secure = $sessions->secure; $sessions = $sessions->secure(1);
Set the secure flag on all session cookies, so that browsers send them only over HTTPS connections.
Mojolicious::Sessions inherits all methods from Mojo::Base and implements the following ones.
load
$sessions->load(Mojolicious::Controller->new);
Load session data from signed cookie.
store
$sessions->store(Mojolicious::Controller->new);
