sessions
Gin middleware for session management with multi-backend support:
Usage
Start using it
Download and install it:
go get github.com/gin-contrib/sessions
Import it in your code:
import "github.com/gin-contrib/sessions"
Basic Examples
single session
package main
import (
"github.com/gin-contrib/sessions"
"github.com/gin-contrib/sessions/cookie"
"github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
)
func main() {
r := gin.Default()
store := cookie.NewStore([]byte("secret"))
r.Use(sessions.Sessions("mysession", store))
r.GET("/hello", func(c *gin.Context) {
session := sessions.Default(c)
if session.Get("hello") != "world" {
session.Set("hello", "world")
session.Save()
}
c.JSON(200, gin.H{"hello": session.Get("hello")})
})
r.Run(":8000")
}
multiple sessions
package main
import (
"github.com/gin-contrib/sessions"
"github.com/gin-contrib/sessions/cookie"
"github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
)
func main() {
r := gin.Default()
store := cookie.NewStore([]byte("secret"))
sessionNames := []string{"a", "b"}
r.Use(sessions.SessionsMany(sessionNames, store))
r.GET("/hello", func(c *gin.Context) {
sessionA := sessions.DefaultMany(c, "a")
sessionB := sessions.DefaultMany(c, "b")
if sessionA.Get("hello") != "world!" {
sessionA.Set("hello", "world!")
sessionA.Save()
}
if sessionB.Get("hello") != "world?" {
sessionB.Set("hello", "world?")
sessionB.Save()
}
c.JSON(200, gin.H{
"a": sessionA.Get("hello"),
"b": sessionB.Get("hello"),
})
})
r.Run(":8000")
}

if v == nil {
count = 0
} else {
