Sesh - A Web Server Session Package

Overview

There are three main concepts in this package:

• SessionInterface is responsible for maintaining session data for a user. This package contains a implementation called Session.

• StoreInterface facilitates the adding and retrieving of individual sessions. This package contains an in-memory implementation known as MemStore.

• CookieManager allows easy retrieval of a session from HTTP requests containing a session cookie along with setting the session cookie for a HTTP response after creating a new session.

Usage

To get a session using a HTTP request:

session, err := cookieManager.Get(r)
if err != nil {
    // no session
} 
// proceed with session
session.Attribute("age")

Creating and adding a session to a HTTP response is just as easy:

session := NewSession(idByteLength, sessionTimeout)
cookieManager.Add(session, w)

Removing a session works in a similar manner:

cookieManager.Remove(session, w)
