DESCRIPTION

12       This virtual class describes how to build a session engine for Dancer.
13       This is done in order to allow multiple session storage backends with a
14       common interface.
15
16       Any session engine must inherit from Dancer::Session::Abstract and
17       implement the following abstract methods.
18
19   Configuration
20       These settings control how a session acts.
21
22       session_name
23
24       The default session name is "dancer_session". This can be set in your
25       config file:
26
27           setting session_name: "mydancer_session"
28
29       session_domain
30
31       Allows you to set the domain property on the cookie, which will
32       override the default.  This is useful for setting the session cookie's
33       domain to something like ".domain.com" so that the same cookie will be
34       applicable and usable across subdomains of a base domain.
35
36       session_secure
37
38       The user's session id is stored in a cookie.  If true, this cookie will
39       be made "secure" meaning it will only be served over https.
40
41       session_expires
42
43       When the session should expire.  The format is either the number of
44       seconds in the future, or the human readable offset from "expires" in
45       Dancer::Cookie.
46
47       By default, there is no expiration.
48
49       session_is_http_only
50
51       This setting defaults to 1 and instructs the session cookie to be
52       created with the "HttpOnly" option active, meaning that JavaScript will
53       not be able to access to its value.
54
55   Abstract Methods
56       retrieve($id)
57           Look for a session with the given id, return the session object if
58           found, undef if not.
59
60       create()
61           Create a new session, return the session object.
62
63       flush()
64           Write the session object to the storage engine.
65
66       destroy()
67           Remove the current session object from the storage engine.
68
69       session_name (optional)
70           Returns a string with the name of cookie used for storing the
71           session ID.
72
73           You should probably not override this; the user can control the
74           cookie name using the "session_name" setting.
75
76       get_value($key)
77           Retrieves the value associated with the key.
78
79       set_value($key, $value)
80           Stores the value associated with the key.
81
82   Inherited Methods
83       The following methods are not supposed to be overloaded, they are
84       generic and should be OK for each session engine.
85
86       build_id
87           Build a new uniq id.
88
89       read_session_id
90           Reads the session ID from the cookie, ensuring it's syntactically
91           valid.
92
93       write_session_id
94           Write the current session id to the "dancer.session" cookie.
95
96       is_lazy
97           Default is false.  If true, session data will not be flushed after
98           every modification and the session engine (or application) will
99           need to ensure that a flush is called before the end of the
100           request.
101

SPEC

103       role
104           A Dancer::Session object represents a session engine and should
105           provide anything needed to manipulate a session, whatever its
106           storing engine is.
107
108       id  The session id will be written to a cookie, by default named
109           "dancer.session", it is assumed that a client must accept cookies
110           to be able to use a session-aware Dancer webapp. (The cookie name
111           can be change using the "session_name" config setting.)
112
113       storage engine
114           When the session engine is enabled, a before filter takes care to
115           initialize the appropriate session engine (according to the setting
116           "session").
117
118           Then, the filter looks for a cookie named "dancer.session" (or
119           whatever you've set the "session_name" setting to, if you've used
120           it) in order to retrieve the current session object. If not found,
121           a new session object is created and its id written to the cookie.
122
123           Whenever a session call is made within a route handler, the
124           singleton representing the current session object is modified.
125
126           A flush is made to the session object after every modification
127           unless the session engine overrides the "is_lazy" method to return
128           true.
