mongostore

Gorilla's Session store implementation with MongoDB using the legacy (unmantained) mgo library

This repository is meant to give some backwards compatibility to some projects that can't upgrade to other MongoDB driver at the moment. If you need/want to use the more up to date mgo library check the original library from where this one derives.

Requirements

Depends on the unmantained mgo library.

Installation

go get github.com/TykTechnologies/mongostore

Documentation

Available on godoc.org.

Example

    func foo(rw http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
        // Fetch new store.
        dbsess, err := mgo.Dial("localhost")
        if err != nil {
            panic(err)
        }
        defer dbsess.Close()

        store := mongostore.NewMongoStore(dbsess.DB("test").C("test_session"), 3600, true,
            []byte("secret-key"))

        // Get a session.
        session, err := store.Get(req, "session-key")
        if err != nil {
            log.Println(err.Error())
        }

        // Add a value.
        session.Values["foo"] = "bar"

        // Save.
        if err = sessions.Save(req, rw); err != nil {
            log.Printf("Error saving session: %v", err)
        }

        fmt.Fprintln(rw, "ok")
    }
