Ktor and Kvision Sessions

[robert-cronin]

In the Kvision-Ktor framework, I can define a service manager and automate routing like so:

applyRoutes(AuthenticationServiceManager)

However, I would also like to use Ktor sessions and cookies for tracking users. With Ktor routing I can do the following:

data class SampleSession(val name: String, val value: Int)
...
get("/get") {
    val session = call.sessions.get<SampleSession>() ?: SampleSession(0) 
    call.respondHtml {"Counter: ${session.counter}"}
}

What's the best way to achieve this using ktor but access the result as a function from Kvision?

Use dependency injection and inject ApplicationCall instance into your Service class. Then you can use the same code as above. Here is the example of injection: https://github.com/rjaros/kvision-examples/blob/17acf84f31923ec2c40d3d75696fdfa6db941d0b/addressbook-fullstack-ktor/server/src/main/kotlin/com/example/Service.kt#L22
