class Rack::Session::Abstract::Persisted

ID sets up a basic framework for implementing an id based sessioning service. Cookies sent to the client for maintaining sessions will only contain an id reference. Only find_session, write_session and delete_session are required to be overwritten.

All parameters are optional.

  • :key determines the name of the cookie, by default it is 'rack.session'

  • :path, :domain, :expire_after, :secure, and :httponly set the related cookie options as by Rack::Response#set_cookie

  • :skip will not a set a cookie in the response nor update the session state

  • :defer will not set a cookie in the response but still update the session state if it is used with a backend

  • :renew (implementation dependent) will prompt the generation of a new session id, and migration of data to be referenced at the new id. If :defer is set, it will be overridden and the cookie will be set.

  • :sidbits sets the number of bits in length that a generated session id will be.

These options can be set on a per request basis, at the location of env['rack.session.options']. Additionally the id of the session can be found within the options hash at the key :id. It is highly not recommended to change its value.

Is Rack::Utils::Context compatible.

Not included by default; you must require 'rack/session/abstract/id' to use.

Acquires the session from the environment and the session id from the session options and passes them to write_session. If successful and the :defer option is not true, a cookie will be added to the response with the session's id.

Private Instance Methods

commit_session?(req, session, options) click to toggle source

Session should be committed if it was loaded, any of specific options like :renew, :drop or :expire_after was given and the security permissions match. Skips if skip is given.

# File lib/rack/session/abstract/id.rb, line 342
def commit_session?(req, session, options)
  if options[:skip]
    false
  else
    has_session = loaded_session?(session) || forced_session_update?(session, options)
    has_session && security_matches?(req, options)
  end
end
cookie_value(data) click to toggle source
current_session_id(req) click to toggle source

Returns the current session id from the SessionHash.

# File lib/rack/session/abstract/id.rb, line 328
def current_session_id(req)
  req.get_header(RACK_SESSION).id
end
delete_session(req, sid, options) click to toggle source

All thread safety and session destroy procedures should occur here. Should return a new session id or nil if options

# File lib/rack/session/abstract/id.rb, line 448
def delete_session(req, sid, options)
  raise '#delete_session not implemented'
end
extract_session_id(request) click to toggle source

Extract session id from request object.

# File lib/rack/session/abstract/id.rb, line 320
def extract_session_id(request)
  sid = request.cookies[@key]
  sid ||= request.params[@key] unless @cookie_only
  sid
end
find_session(env, sid) click to toggle source

All thread safety and session retrieval procedures should occur here. Should return [session_id, session]. If nil is provided as the session id, generation of a new valid id should occur within.

# File lib/rack/session/abstract/id.rb, line 433
def find_session(env, sid)
  raise '#find_session not implemented.'
end

  force_options?(options) && session && !session.empty?
end
generate_sid(secure = @sid_secure) click to toggle source

Generate a new session id using Ruby rand. The size of the session id is controlled by the :sidbits option. Monkey patch this to use custom methods for session id generation.

# File lib/rack/session/abstract/id.rb, line 288
def generate_sid(secure = @sid_secure)
  if secure
    secure.hex(@sid_length)
  else

set_cookie(request, res, cookie) click to toggle source

Sets the cookie back to the client with session id. We skip the cookie setting if the value didn't change (sid is the same) or expires was given.

All thread safety and session storage procedures should occur here. Must return the session id if the session was saved successfully, or false if the session could not be saved.
