Introduction

Sessions provide a way to store information about a user across multiple requests. Currently, we support memory based sessions and Redis backed session but more options are coming.

Using The Session

Get Session

To get an instance of the Session simply add it as a parameter of your controller method.

public static void index(Session session) {
    session.put("userid", 123);
}

Storing Data

To store data in the session simply call

session.put("key", "value");

Retrieving Data

To retrieve data from the session call.

session.get("key");

This will return the value as an instance of Object. We provide helper methods to retrieve the values as String etc...

session.getString("key");
