Sessions

The session data is used to identify a user using cookies, in the cookie we store an ID and tied that ID to a data record in the database.

The session data is persistent on multiple requests. When a user log in, we store on database the user identification, that can be used later on another requests. You can also create custom entries on the session object.

Default session vars

• user_id (Int)
• name (String)
• email (String)
• is_admin (0/1)
• keep_loged (0/1)

Get session data

Get the session data by its name. If not found return an empty string.

my $user_name = $self->sess('name');

Set session data

Set session data by name. If the session data already exists, it would be overwritten, if not it would be created.

$self->sess('name','value');

General notes

The data is stored in the database, it is tied to the user's browser cookie. If the user logs out, the session's data gets cleared, also if the user deletes it's cookies, then the tie will be lost and the user will need to login again.
