NAME Dancer::Session::JSON - JSON session backend for Dancer VERSION version 0.001 DESCRIPTION This module implements a session engine based on JSON files. Session are stored in a *session_dir* as JSON files. The idea behind this module was to provide a transparent session storage for the developer. This backend is intended to be used in development environments, when looking inside a session can be useful. It's not recommended to use this session engine in production environments. Typically you would want to use Dancer::Session::YAML for this, which comes in core, but a demand for a faster-but-still-file-based session backend arose, and thus you now have JSON. :) CONFIGURATION The setting session should be set to "JSON" in order to use this session engine in a Dancer application. Files will be stored to the value of the setting "session_dir", whose default value is "appdir/sessions". Here is an example configuration that use this session engine and stores session files in /tmp/dancer-sessions session: "JSON" session_dir: "/tmp/dancer-sessions" SUBROUTINES/METHODS init Initializes the session backend. create Creates a new object, runs "flush" and returns the object. flush Writes the session information to the session dir. retrieve Retrieves session information from the session dir. destroy Deletes session information from the session dir. reset Wipes the sessions directory, forcing a test for existence of the sessions directory next time a session is created. It takes no argument. This is particulary useful if you want to remove the sessions directory on the system where your app is running, but you want this session engine to continue to work without having to restart your application. json_file Fetch the location of a json session file. SEE ALSO Dancer::Session::YAML - the original core development session backend. Dancer::Session::Simple - a faster in-memory core session backend. Dancer::Session::Cookie - an encrypted cookie session backend, suitable for production. AUTHOR Sawyer X COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is copyright (c) 2011 by Sawyer X.
