redistore

A session store backend for gorilla/sessions - src.

Requirements

Depends on the Redigo Redis library.

Installation

go get github.com/boj/redistore

Documentation

Available on godoc.org.

See the repository for full documentation on underlying interface.

Example

package main

import (
  "log"
  "net/http"

  "github.com/boj/redistore"
  "github.com/gorilla/sessions"
)

func main() {
  // Fetch new store.
  store, err := redistore.NewRediStore(10, "tcp", ":6379", "", "", []byte("secret-key"))
  if err != nil {
    panic(err)
  }
  defer store.Close()

  http.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    // Get a session.
    session, err := store.Get(r, "session-key")
    if err != nil {
      log.Println(err.Error())
      return
    }

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

    // Save.
    if err = sessions.Save(r, w); err != nil {
      log.Fatalf("Error saving session: %v", err)
    }

    // Delete session.
    session.Options.MaxAge = -1
    if err = sessions.Save(r, w); err != nil {
      log.Fatalf("Error saving session: %v", err)
    }
  })

  log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil))
}

Configuration

SetMaxLength

Sets the maximum length of new sessions. If the length is 0, there is no limit to the size of a session.

store.SetMaxLength(4096)

SetKeyPrefix

Sets the prefix for session keys in Redis.

store.SetKeyPrefix("myprefix_")

SetSerializer

Sets the serializer for session data. The default is GobSerializer.

store.SetSerializer(redistore.JSONSerializer{})

SetMaxAge

Sets the maximum age, in seconds, of the session record both in the database and in the browser.

store.SetMaxAge(86400 * 7) // 7 days

Custom Serializers

JSONSerializer

Serializes session data to JSON.

type JSONSerializer struct{}

func (s JSONSerializer) Serialize(ss *sessions.Session) ([]byte, error) {
  // Implementation
}

func (s JSONSerializer) Deserialize(d []byte, ss *sessions.Session) error {
  // Implementation
}

GobSerializer

Serializes session data using the gob package.

type GobSerializer struct{}

func (s GobSerializer) Serialize(ss *sessions.Session) ([]byte, error) {
  // Implementation
}

func (s GobSerializer) Deserialize(d []byte, ss *sessions.Session) error {
  // Implementation
}
