NAME
       Mojolicious::Sessions - Session manager based on signed cookies

SYNOPSIS
         use Mojolicious::Sessions;

         my $sessions = Mojolicious::Sessions->new;
         $sessions->cookie_name('myapp');
         $sessions->default_expiration(86400);

DESCRIPTION
       Mojolicious::Sessions manages sessions based on signed cookies for
       Mojolicious. All data gets serialized with Mojo::JSON and stored Base64
       encoded on the client-side, but is protected from unwanted changes with
       a HMAC-SHA256 signature.

ATTRIBUTES
       Mojolicious::Sessions implements the following attributes.

   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 '' });

METHODS
       Mojolicious::Sessions inherits all methods from Mojo::Base and
       implements the following new ones.

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

       Load session data from signed cookie.

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

       Store session data in signed cookie.
