Basic Examples

single session

package main

import (
	"github.com/rabex-io/sessions"
	"github.com/rabex-io/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/rabex-io/sessions"
	"github.com/rabex-io/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")
}

Backend Examples

cookie-based

package main

import (
	"github.com/rabex-io/sessions"
	"github.com/rabex-io/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("/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++
		}
		session.Set("count", count)
		session.Save()
		c.JSON(200, gin.H{"count": count})
	})
	r.Run(":8000")
}

Redis

package main

import (
	"github.com/rabex-io/sessions"
	"github.com/rabex-io/sessions/redis"
	"github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
)

func main() {
	r := gin.Default()
	store, _ := redis.NewStore(10, "tcp", "localhost:6379", "", []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")
		if v == nil {
			count = 0
		} else {
			count = v.(int)
			count++
		}
		session.Set("count", count)
		session.Save()
		c.JSON(200, gin.H{"count": count})
	})
	r.Run(":8000")
}

Memcached

ASCII Protocol

package main

import (
	"github.com/bradfitz/gomemcache/memcache"
	"github.com/rabex-io/sessions"
	"github.com/rabex-io/sessions/memcached"
	"github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
)

func main() {
	r := gin.Default()
	store := memcached.NewStore(memcache.New("localhost:11211"), "", []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")
		if v == nil {
			count = 0
		} else {
			count = v.(int)
			count++
		}
		session.Set("count", count)
		session.Save()
		c.JSON(200, gin.H{"count": count})
	})
	r.Run(":8000")
}

Binary protocol (with optional SASL authentication)

package main

import (
	"github.com/rabex-io/sessions"
	"github.com/rabex-io/sessions/memcached"
	"github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
	"github.com/memcachier/mc"
)

func main() {
	r := gin.Default()
	client := mc.NewMC("localhost:11211", "username", "password")
	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")
		if v == nil {
			count = 0
		} else {
			count = v.(int)
			count++
		}
		session.Set("count", count)
		session.Save()
		c.JSON(200, gin.H{"count": count})
	})
	r.Run(":8000")
}

MongoDB

)

func main() {
	r := gin.Default()
	session, err := mgo.Dial("localhost:27017/test")
	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) {
		session := sessions.Default(c)
		var count int
		v := session.Get("count")
		if v == nil {
			count = 0
		} else {

			count++
		}
		session.Set("count", count)
		session.Save()
		c.JSON(200, gin.H{"count": count})
	})
	r.Run(":8000")
}
