cookie_domain¶

  my $domain = $sessions->cookie_domain;
  $sessions  = $sessions->cookie_domain('.example.com');

Domain for session cookies, not defined by default.

cookie_name¶

  my $name  = $sessions->cookie_name;
  $sessions = $sessions->cookie_name('session');

Name for session cookies, defaults to "mojolicious".

cookie_path¶

  my $path  = $sessions->cookie_path;
  $sessions = $sessions->cookie_path('/foo');

Path for session cookies, defaults to "/".

default_expiration¶

  my $time  = $sessions->default_expiration;
  $sessions = $sessions->default_expiration(3600);

Default time for sessions to expire in seconds from now, defaults to 3600. The expiration timeout gets refreshed for every request. Setting the value to 0 will allow sessions to persist until the browser window is closed, this can have security implications though. For more control you can also use the "expiration" and "expires" session values.

  # Expiration date in seconds from now (persists between requests)
  $c->session(expiration => 604800);
  # Expiration date as absolute epoch time (only valid for one request)
  $c->session(expires => time + 604800);
  # Delete whole session by setting an expiration date in the past
  $c->session(expires => 1);

deserialize¶

  my $cb    = $sessions->deserialize;
  $sessions = $sessions->deserialize(sub ($bytes) {...});

A callback used to deserialize sessions, defaults to "j" in Mojo::JSON.

  $sessions->deserialize(sub ($bytes) { return {} });

samesite¶

  my $samesite = $sessions->samesite;
  $sessions    = $sessions->samesite('Strict');

Set the SameSite value on all session cookies, defaults to "Lax". Note that this attribute is EXPERIMENTAL because even though most commonly used browsers support the feature, there is no specification yet besides this draft <https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-west-first-party-cookies-07>.

  # Disable SameSite feature
  $sessions->samesite(undef);

secure¶

  my $bool  = $sessions->secure;
  $sessions = $sessions->secure($bool);

Set the secure flag on all session cookies, so that browsers send them only over HTTPS connections.

serialize¶

  my $cb    = $sessions->serialize;
  $sessions = $sessions->serialize(sub ($hash) {...});

A callback used to serialize sessions, defaults to "encode_json" in Mojo::JSON.

  $sessions->serialize(sub ($hash) { return '' });

load¶

  $sessions->load(Mojolicious::Controller->new);

Load session data from signed cookie.

store¶

  $sessions->store(Mojolicious::Controller->new);

Store session data in signed cookie.
