= Session Persistence
|
|
|
|
Rails 3 plugin that lets you set how long you want your session to be persisted/remembered.
|
|
|
|
session_expires_after 2.weeks
|
|
session_expires_automatically # also aliased to expire_session
|
|
|
|
The timespan will reset on every request. If you set it to 2 weeks, and the user returns after 1 week, the session will be refreshed and last 2 weeks again. If the user returns after 3 weeks, the session will be reset.
|
|
|
|
A call to session_expires_automatically will return to a normal automatical expiry cookie, that will expire when the browser is closed.
|
|
|
|
Note: I haven't tested the plugin with memcache session storage, but it should work there as well.

= Usage
|
|
|
|
Here's an example sessions controller in a Rails 3 application.
|
|
|
|
class SessionsController < ApplicationController
|
|
def create
|
|
session_expires_after 2.weeks if params[:remember_me]
|
|
|
|
# ..normal auth goes here..
|
|
# for example
|
|
user = User.authenticate(params[:username], params[:password])
|
|
if user
|
|
session[:user] = user.id
|
|
else
|
|
# ..
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
def destroy
|
|
session_expires_automatically
|
|
|
|
# ..unauthorize here..
|
|
# for example
|
|
session[:user] = nil
|
|
redirect_to root_path
|
|
end
|
|
end |
