Adding cookie-based sessions to a rocket application is extremely simple with this crate.
Sessions are used to share data between related requests, such as user authentication, shopping basket,
form values that failed validation for re-filling, etc.
## Configuration
The implementation is generic to support any type as session data: a custom struct, `String`,
`HashMap`, or perhaps `serde_json::Value`. You're free to choose.
The session expiry time is configurable through the Fairing. When a session expires,
the data associated with it is dropped. All expired sessions may be cleared by calling `.remove_expired()`
on the `SessionStore`, which is be obtained in routes as `State<SessionStore>`, or from a
session instance by calling `.get_store()`.
The session lifetime, cookie name, and other parameters can be configured by calling chained
methods on the fairing. When a session expires, the data associated with it is dropped.
## Usage
To use session in a route, first make sure you have the fairing attached by calling
`rocket.attach(Session::fairing())` at start-up, and then add something like `session : Session`
to the parameter list of your route(s). Everything else--session init, expiration, cookie
management--is done for you behind the scenes.
The session cookie is currently hardcoded to "SESSID" and contains 16 random characters.
Session data is accessed in a closure run in the session context, using the `session.tap()`
method. This closure runs inside a per-session mutex, avoiding simultaneous mutation
from different requests. Try to *avoid lengthy operations inside the closure*,
as it effectively blocks any other request to session-enabled routes by the client.
## Basic Example
Every request to a session-enabled route extends the session's lifetime to the full
configured time (defaults to 1 hour). Automatic clean-up removes expired sessions to make sure
the session list does not waste memory.
## Examples
(More examples are in the examples folder)
### Basic Example
This simple example uses u64 as the session variable; note that it can be a struct, map, or anything else,
it just needs to implement `Send + Sync + Default`.

The `.tap()` method is powerful, but sometimes you may wish for something more convenient.
Here is an example of using a custom trait and the `json_dotpath` crate to implement
a polymorphic store based on serde serialization:
a polymorphic store based on serde serialization.
Note that this approach is prone to data races, since every method contains its own `.tap()`.
It may be safer to simply call the `.dot_*()` methods manually in one shared closure.
