class Marten::Middleware::Session

Overview

Enables the use of sessions.

When this middleware is used, each request will have a session store initialized according to the sessions configuration. This session store is a hash-like object that allows to fetch or set values that are associated with specific keys.

The session store is initialized from a session key that is stored as a regular cookie. If the session store ends up being empty after a request's handling, the associated cookie is deleted. Otherwise if the session store is modified as part of the considered request the associated cookie is refreshed. Each session cookie is set to expire according to a configured cookie max age (the default cookie max age is 2 weeks).

Instance Method Detail

def call(request : Marten::HTTP::Request, get_response : Proc(Marten::HTTP::Response)) : Marten::HTTP::Response #
Description copied from class Marten::Middleware

Calls the middleware for a given HTTP request and returns a HTTP response.

This method must be implemented by subclasses: it takes a request argument (the current HTTP request) and a get_response proc that allows to get the final response. This proc might actually call the next middleware in the chain of configured middlewares, or the final matched handler. That way, the current middleware have the ability to intercept any incoming request and the associated response, and to modify them if applicable.
