Documentation

Overview

Package sess provides an implementation of http sessions that is backed by tamper-proof & encrypted cookies. This package should ideally be used together with the ong github.com/komuw/ong/middleware middlewares.

Functions

func Get

func Get(r *http.Request, key string) string

Get retrieves the value corresponding to the given key from the current http session. It returns an empty string if key is not found in the session. r ought to be a request that was created by Initialise

func GetM

func GetM(r *http.Request) map[string]string

GetM retrieves all the key-value pairs found from the current http session. It returns a zero-length map if none is found. r ought to be a request that was created by Initialise

func Initialise

func Initialise(r *http.Request, secretKey string) *http.Request

Initialise returns a new http.Request (based on r) that has sessions properly setup.

You do not need to call this function, if you are also using the ong github.com/komuw/ong/middleware middleware. Those middleware do so automatically for you.

func Save

func Save(
	r *http.Request,
	w http.ResponseWriter,
	domain string,
	mAge time.Duration,
	secretKey string,
)

Save writes(to http cookies) any key-value pairs that have already been added to the current http session.

You do not need to call this function, if you are also using the ong github.com/komuw/ong/middleware middleware. Those middleware do so automatically for you.

func Set

func Set(r *http.Request, key, value string)

Set adds the key-value pair to the current http session. r ought to be a request that was created by Initialise

func SetM

func SetM(r *http.Request, m M)

SetM adds multiple key-value pairs to the current http session. r ought to be a request that was created by Initialise

Example

package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"
	"net/http"
	"net/http/httptest"
	"os"

	"github.com/komuw/ong/log"

	"github.com/komuw/ong/sess"
)

func loginHandler() http.HandlerFunc {
	return func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
		mySession := map[string]string{
			"name":           "John Doe",
			"favorite_color": "red",
			"height":         "5 feet 6 inches",
		}
		sess.SetM(r, mySession)

		fmt.Fprint(w, "welcome again.")
	}
}

func main() {
	l := log.New(os.Stdout, 100)(context.Background())
	rec := httptest.NewRecorder()
	req := httptest.NewRequest(http.MethodGet, "/login", nil)
	handler := middleware.Get(
		loginHandler(),
		middleware.WithOpts("example.com", 443, "secretKey", middleware.DirectIpStrategy, l),
	)
	handler.ServeHTTP(rec, req)

	res := rec.Result()
	defer res.Body.Close()

	if res.StatusCode != http.StatusOK {
		panic("unexcpected")
	}

	fmt.Println(res.Cookies()[0])
}
