Session Timeout Hook

[mhaseebkhan]

I am working on a Sinatra App in which I am using Warden for managing authentication. Please note that I am not using Devise at all. I am in need of a Session Timeout Hook which gets called when session expires as I need to clear-up certain things and do some custom operations.

I also would like to mention that I am using Rack::Session::Dalli as well.

Any ideas how to achieve it?

Warden does not implement session timeout on its own. So there isn't a hook. So what is expiring the session? Or do you want to implement session timeout?

I want to implement session timeout.

Thoughts?

Devise implements it by storing and checking the last time a request happend in Warden.after_set_user hook. If it happens that the user last request happened more than a specified time, you call throw :warden from the hook.
