tide-session

This is an experimental middleware and extractor for cookie-based sessions within the tide framework.

It only stores a session id in a cookie, and relies on a configurable session store (implementing the SessionStorage trait)

Examples

Setting the middleware

    let state: InMemorySession<()> = InMemorySession::new();
    app.middleware(CookieSessionMiddleware::new("MySession".to_string(), state));

Reading the contents of the session

async fn print_session(session: Session<AppSession>) -> Response {
    let session: Option<AppSession> = await! { session.get() }.unwrap();
    let printed_session = format!("{:?}", session);
    let res = Response::new(printed_session.into());
    res
}

Modiying the contents of the session

async fn authenticate_user(session: Session<AppSession>) -> Response {
    let res = Response::new(Body::empty());

    let result: Result<(), failure::Error> = await! { session.set(AppSession {
        user_id: "george".into(),
        user_category: UserCategory::Admin,
    }) };

    res
}

For a more complete example, read the tests in tests/cookies.rs.

TODO

• session id reset
• documentation
• general polish, more tests
• more backends
• Signed and encrypted cookies, more configurable cookies.
