sessions

Gin middleware for session management with multi-backend support:

• cookie-based
• Redis
• memcached
• MongoDB
• memstore

Usage

Start using it

Download and install it:

$ go get github.com/gin-contrib/sessions

Import it in your code:

import "github.com/gin-contrib/sessions"

Basic Examples

single session

package main

import (
	"github.com/gin-contrib/sessions"
	"github.com/gin-contrib/sessions/cookie"
	"github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
)

func main() {
	r := gin.Default()
	store := cookie.NewStore([]byte("secret"))
	r.Use(sessions.Sessions("mysession", store))

	r.GET("/hello", func(c *gin.Context) {
		session := sessions.Default(c)

		if session.Get("hello") != "world" {
			session.Set("hello", "world")
			session.Save()
		}

		c.JSON(200, gin.H{"hello": session.Get("hello")})
	})
	r.Run(":8000")
}

multiple sessions

package main

import (
	"github.com/gin-contrib/sessions"
	"github.com/gin-contrib/sessions/cookie"
	"github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
)

func main() {
	r := gin.Default()
	store := cookie.NewStore([]byte("secret"))
	sessionNames := []string{"a", "b"}
	r.Use(sessions.SessionsMany(sessionNames, store))

	r.GET("/hello", func(c *gin.Context) {
		sessionA := sessions.DefaultMany(c, "a")
		sessionB := sessions.DefaultMany(c, "b")

		if sessionA.Get("hello") != "world!" {
			sessionA.Set("hello", "world!")
			sessionA.Save()
		}

		if sessionB.Get("hello") != "world?" {
			sessionB.Set("hello", "world?")
			sessionB.Save()
		}

		c.JSON(200, gin.H{
			"a": sessionA.Get("hello"),
			"b": sessionB.Get("hello"),
		})
	})
	r.Run(":8000")
}

	r.GET("/incr", func(c *gin.Context) {
		session := sessions.Default(c)
		var count int
		v := session.Get("count")
		if v == nil {
			count = 0
		} else {
			count = v.(int)
			count++
		}

		} else {
			count = v.(int)
			count++
		}
		session.Set("count", count)

	store := memcached.NewMemcacheStore(client, "", []byte("secret"))
	r.Use(sessions.Sessions("mysession", store))

	r.GET("/incr", func(c *gin.Context) {
		session := sessions.Default(c)
		var count int
		v := session.Get("count")

			count = 0
		} else {
			count = v.(int)
			count++
		}

	if err != nil {
		// handle err
	}

	c := session.DB("").C("sessions")
	store := mongo.NewStore(c, 3600, true, []byte("secret"))
	r.Use(sessions.Sessions("mysession", store))

	r.GET("/incr", func(c *gin.Context) {

Types

type Options

type Options struct {
	Path   string
	Domain string
	// MaxAge=0 means no 'Max-Age' attribute specified.
	// MaxAge<0 means delete cookie now, equivalently 'Max-Age: 0'.
	// MaxAge>0 means Max-Age attribute present and given in seconds.
	MaxAge   int
	Secure   bool
	HttpOnly bool
}

Options stores configuration for a session or session store. Fields are a subset of http.Cookie fields.

type Session

type Session interface {
	// Get returns the session value associated to the given key.
	Get(key interface{}) interface{}
	// Set sets the session value associated to the given key.
	Set(key interface{}, val interface{})
	// Delete removes the session value associated to the given key.
	Delete(key interface{})
	// Clear deletes all values in the session.
	Clear()
	// AddFlash adds a flash message to the session.
	// A single variadic argument is accepted, and it is optional: it defines the flash key.
	// If not defined "_flash" is used by default.
	AddFlash(value interface{}, vars ...string)
	// Flashes returns a slice of flash messages from the session.
	// A single variadic argument is accepted, and it is optional: it defines the flash key.
	// If not defined "_flash" is used by default.
	Flashes(vars ...string) []interface{}
	// Options sets configuration for a session.
	Options(Options)
	// Save saves all sessions used during the current request.
	Save() error
}

Wraps thinly gorilla-session methods. Session stores the values and optional configuration for a session.
