NAME
Dancer2::Session::DBIC - DBIx::Class session engine for Dancer2
VERSION
0.100
DESCRIPTION
This module implements a session engine for Dancer2 by serializing the
session, and storing it in a database via DBIx::Class.
JSON was chosen as the default serialization format, as it is fast,
terse, and portable.
SYNOPSIS
Example configuration:
session: "DBIC"
engines:
session:
DBIC:
dsn: "DBI:mysql:database=testing;host=127.0.0.1;port=3306" # DBI Data Source Name
schema_class: "Interchange6::Schema" # DBIx::Class schema
user: "user" # Username used to connect to the database
password: "password" # Password to connect to the database
resultset: "MySession" # DBIx::Class resultset, defaults to Session
id_column: "my_session_id" # defaults to sessions_id
data_column: "my_session_data" # defaults to session_data
serializer: "YAML" # defaults to JSON
Or if you are already using Dancer2::Plugin::DBIC and want to use its
existing configuration for a database section named 'default' with all
else set to default in this module then you could simply use:
session: "DBIC"
engines:
session:
DBIC:
db_connection_name: default
SESSION EXPIRATION
A timestamp field that updates when a session is updated is
recommended, so you can expire sessions server-side as well as
client-side.
This session engine will not automagically remove expired sessions on
the server, but with a timestamp field as above, you should be able to
to do this manually.
ATTRIBUTES
schema_class
DBIx::Class schema class, e.g. Interchange6::Schema.
db_connection_name
The Dancer2::Plugin::DBIC database connection name.
If this option is provided then "schema_class", "dsn", "user" and
"password" are all ignored.
resultset
DBIx::Class resultset, defaults to Session.
id_column
Column for session id, defaults to sessions_id.
If this column is not the primary key of the table, it should have a
unique constraint added to it. See "add_unique_constraint" in
DBIx::Class::ResultSource.
data_column
Column for session data, defaults to session_data.
dsn
DBI dsn to connect to the database.
user
Database username.
password
Database password.
schema
DBIx::Class schema.
serializer
Serializer to use, defaults to JSON.
Dancer2::Session::DBIC provides the following serializer classes:
JSON - Dancer2::Session::DBIC::Serializer::JSON
Sereal - Dancer2::Session::DBIC::Serializer::Sereal
YAML - Dancer2::Session::DBIC::Serializer::YAML
If you do not use the default JSON serializer then you might need to
install additional modules - see the specific serializer class for
details.
You can also use your own serializer class by passing the
fully-qualified class name as argument to this option, e.g.:
MyApp::Session::Serializer
serializer_object
Vivified "serializer" object.
serialize_options
Options to be passed to the constructor of the the serializer class as
a hash reference.
deserialize_options
Options to be passed to the constructor of the the deserializer class
as a hash reference.
METHODS
_flush
Write the session to the database. Returns the session object.
_retrieve($id)
Look for a session with the given id.
Returns the session object if found, undef if not. Dies if the session
was found, but could not be deserialized.
_destroy()
Remove the current session object from the database.
