Fast, unique & cross-framework http sessions for Go.
Easy to learn, while providing robust set of features.
Ideally suited for both experienced and novice Developers.
import "github.com/fasthttp-contrib/sessions"
sess := sessions.StartFasthttp(*fasthttp.RequestCtx)
sess.ID() string
sess.Get(string) interface{}
sess.GetString(key string) string
sess.GetInt(key string) int
sess.GetAll() map[string]interface{}
sess.VisitAll(cb func(k string, v interface{}))
sess.Set(string, interface{})
sess.Delete(string)
sess.Clear()The only requirement is the Go Programming Language, at least v1.7.
$ go get -u github.com/fasthttp-contrib/sessions- Focus on simplicity and performance, it's the fastest sessions provider in Go world.
- Cleans the temp memory when a session is idle, and re-allocates it to the temp memory when it's necessary.
- The most used sessions are optimized to be in the front of the memory's list.
- Supports any type of external database.
- Works with both net/http and valyala/fasthttp.
Take a look at the ./examples.
OUTLINE
// StartFasthttp starts the session for the particular valyala/fasthttp request
StartFasthttp(*fasthttp.RequestCtx) Session
// DestroyFasthttp kills the valyala/fasthttp session and remove the associated cookie
DestroyFasthttp(*fasthttp.RequestCtx)
// Start starts the session for the particular net/http request
Start(http.ResponseWriter, *http.Request) Session
// Destroy kills the net/http session and remove the associated cookie
Destroy(http.ResponseWriter, *http.Request)
// UseDatabase ,optionally, adds a session database to the manager's provider,
// a session db doesn't have write access
// see https://github.com/kataras/go-sessions/tree/master/sessiondb
UseDatabase(Database)
// UpdateConfig updates the configuration field (Config does not receives a pointer, so this is a way to update a pre-defined configuration)
UpdateConfig(Config)StartFasthttp returns again Session, Session outline
