dynamodb session handler

[andy3rdworld]

Where is the best place (laravel code file) to drop in AWS dynamodb session handler in laravel 4, and any suggestions on changing configs to accomodate?

Many thanks

It looks like the SDK's session handler does not implement the same interface as what Laravel expects. I'll work on an adapter, as well as some config changes, before I release version 1.1 of the service provider.

Nice. The only remaining db part then is the Laravel Auth implementation which is set up to connect to a relational store. With DynamoDB and SimpleDB Auth adapters authentication could use any AWS db (RDS already works out of the box of course via simple config changes).

I was looking at the session stuff this morning. I'm not sure how long it'll actually take me to write it. The integrations between the Laravel and Symfony session code are pretty interesting, and I'm not sure how compatible the SDK's session handler is with the underlying Symfony session component. I will need some more time and some community help on that one. I'm going to go ahead with the 1.1 release without the session integration.

Laravel Auth hooks sound interesting as well. Any chance that you might want to work one of these items?

[andy3rdworld]

Yeah I'll start working on Auth.

Alright, I wrote the Auth hooks. Perhaps I should wait to see 1.1 release to get an idea of where it would be most useful to include the new files (not sure how much things have changed on your end)? In any case, if it makes sense to push something up now, let me know.

Cool! I tagged 1.1 yesterday, so you can rebase on master and give it a shot.

So is this issue solved? or any workaround?

[jeremeamia]

No, I've never had a chance to look into it. I'd love it if someone from the Laravel community helped me out with it. I am not too familiar with how the Laravel or Symfony session handlers differ from the normal PHP interface, but I assume there must be away to adapt it.

We implement the SessionHandlerInterface from PHP so it should work pretty easily.
