session

Request session extension for the Iron web framework.

session is a fast, convenient, and flexible extension for Iron Request. It allows saving/retriving data in to session, redis as the backend data repos.

Example

```rust extern crate iron; extern crate session; extern crate rustc_serialize; use iron::prelude::; use session::;

// To run, $ cargo run --example simple // to use, $ curl "http://localhost:3000"

[derive(Debug,RustcEncodable, RustcDecodable)]

struct Account { id: usize, name: Option, email: Option, }

fn main() { let mut chain = Chain::new(requesthandler); let signingkey = "key-123456"; let expireseconds = 3600; let connectstr = "redis://localhost"; chain.around(session::Session::new(signingkey, expireseconds, connect_str)); Iron::new(chain).http("localhost:3000").unwrap(); }

fn requesthandler(req: &mut Request) -> IronResult { let account = Account { id: 12, name: Some("alex".toowned()), email: None, }; req.setsession("account", account).unwrap(); let accountsession = req.get_session::("account");

req.set_session("address", "where are you?".to_owned()).unwrap();
let address = req.get_session::<String>("address").unwrap();

req.clear_session().unwrap();
let account_after_clear = req.get_session::<Account>("account");

let content = format!("account_session:{:?}\naddress:{}\naccount_after_clear:{:?}",
                      account_session,
                      address,
                      account_after_clear);
Ok(Response::with((iron::status::Ok, content)))

}

```

Installation

If you're using cargo, just add router to your Cargo.toml.

```toml [dependencies]

session = "*" ```

Otherwise, cargo build, and the rlib will be in your target directory.
