NAME

6       Mojolicious::Sessions - Session manager based on signed cookies
7

SYNOPSIS

9         use Mojolicious::Sessions;
10
11         my $sessions = Mojolicious::Sessions->new;
12         $sessions->cookie_name('myapp');
13         $sessions->default_expiration(86400);
14

DESCRIPTION

16       Mojolicious::Sessions manages sessions based on signed cookies for
17       Mojolicious. All data gets serialized with Mojo::JSON and stored Base64
18       encoded on the client-side, but is protected from unwanted changes with
19       a HMAC-SHA1 signature.
20

ATTRIBUTES

22       Mojolicious::Sessions implements the following attributes.
23
24   cookie_domain
25         my $domain = $sessions->cookie_domain;
26         $sessions  = $sessions->cookie_domain('.example.com');
27
28       Domain for session cookies, not defined by default.
29
30   cookie_name
31         my $name  = $sessions->cookie_name;
32         $sessions = $sessions->cookie_name('session');
33
34       Name for session cookies, defaults to "mojolicious".
35
36   cookie_path
37         my $path  = $sessions->cookie_path;
38         $sessions = $sessions->cookie_path('/foo');
39
40       Path for session cookies, defaults to "/".
41
42   default_expiration
43         my $time  = $sessions->default_expiration;
44         $sessions = $sessions->default_expiration(3600);
45
46       Default time for sessions to expire in seconds from now, defaults to
47       3600. The expiration timeout gets refreshed for every request. Setting
48       the value to 0 will allow sessions to persist until the browser window
49       is closed, this can have security implications though. For more control
50       you can also use the "expiration" and "expires" session values.
51
52         # Expiration date in seconds from now (persists between requests)
53         $c->session(expiration => 604800);
54
55         # Expiration date as absolute epoch time (only valid for one request)
56         $c->session(expires => time + 604800);
57
58         # Delete whole session by setting an expiration date in the past
59         $c->session(expires => 1);
60
61   deserialize
62         my $cb    = $sessions->deserialize;
63         $sessions = $sessions->deserialize(sub {...});
64
65       A callback used to deserialize sessions, defaults to "j" in Mojo::JSON.
66
67         $sessions->deserialize(sub {
68           my $bytes = shift;
69           return {};
70         });
71
72   samesite
73         my $samesite = $sessions->samesite;
74         $sessions    = $sessions->samesite('Strict');
75
76       Set the SameSite value on all session cookies, defaults to "Lax". Note
77       that this attribute is EXPERIMENTAL because even though most commonly
78       used browsers support the feature, there is no specification yet
79       besides this draft <https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-west-first-party-
80       cookies-07>.
81
82         # Disable SameSite feature
83         $sessions->samesite(undef);
84
85   secure
86         my $bool  = $sessions->secure;
87         $sessions = $sessions->secure($bool);
88
89       Set the secure flag on all session cookies, so that browsers send them
90       only over HTTPS connections.
91
92   serialize
93         my $cb    = $sessions->serialize;
94         $sessions = $sessions->serialize(sub {...});
95
96       A callback used to serialize sessions, defaults to "encode_json" in
97       Mojo::JSON.
98
99         $sessions->serialize(sub {
100           my $hash = shift;
101           return '';
102         });
103
