Middleware.SessionMiddleware

Overview

SessionMiddleware loads and saves session data on each request.

Part of the http package — Node.js analog: express, cors, helmet, morgan.

Method on Middleware — call it on a value of that type after constructing or receiving one from a constructor.

Signature

func SessionMiddleware(store SessionStore, opts SessionOptions) Middleware

Compare: Node.js · Standard Go · gox

Node.js

// Typical express, cors, helmet, morgan pattern in Node.js

Standard Go

func handler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    // chi or net/http
}

gox

import "github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/http"

store := NewMemoryStore()
app := New()
app.Use(SessionMiddleware(store, SessionOptions{CookieName: "sid"}))
app.Get("/set", func(c *Ctx) error {
	c.Session()["user"] = "alice"
	return c.JSON(200, map[string]string{"ok": "1"})
})
app.Get("/get", func(c *Ctx) error {
	u, _ := c.Session()["user"].(string)
	return c.JSON(200, map[string]string{"user": u})
})
rec := httptest.NewRecorder()

Example

import "github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/http"

store := NewMemoryStore()
app := New()
app.Use(SessionMiddleware(store, SessionOptions{CookieName: "sid"}))
app.Get("/set", func(c *Ctx) error {
	c.Session()["user"] = "alice"
	return c.JSON(200, map[string]string{"ok": "1"})
})
app.Get("/get", func(c *Ctx) error {
	u, _ := c.Session()["user"].(string)
	return c.JSON(200, map[string]string{"user": u})
})
rec := httptest.NewRecorder()

Tips

Stack Logger, Recover, and Security middleware the way you would morgan + helmet in Express.

Standard library alternative

Use the standard library directly:

func handler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    // chi or net/http
}
