Handling Sessions

• Cyclops has the ability to handle sessions seamlessly
• Cyclops currenty supports Redis as the session store which implements the Store interface, which means that if Redis is not your thing, you can always implement the methods in the Store interface and you can use whichever backend you like

Initializing session

package main

import (
	"github.com/flannel-dev-lab/cyclops/cookie"
	"github.com/flannel-dev-lab/cyclops/sessions"
)

func main() {
	store := sessions.RedisSessionStore{}
	err := store.New("tcp", ":6379")
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	cookieobj := cookie.CyclopsCookie{
		Secure:         false,
		HttpOnly:       true,
		StrictSameSite: false,
	}

	session := sessions.Session{
		Store:  &store,
		Cookie: cookieobj}
}

Adding data to session

data := make(map[string]interface{})
data["Name"] = "hello"

session.Set(w, data, 10)

The above snippet says set the map data to session with 10 seconds expiry

Get data from session

session.Get("Name")

Delete data from session

session.Delete("Name")

Delete all from backend session store

session.Reset()
