Installation

Using Composer

composer require fyre/session

In PHP:

use Fyre\Session\Session;

Basic Usage

• $container is a Container.
• $config is a Config.

$session = new Session($container, $config);

Default configuration options will be resolved from the "Session" key in the Config.

• $options is an array containing configuration options.
  • cookie is an array containing session cookie options.
    • name is a string representing the cookie name, and will default to "FyreSession".
    • expires is a number representing the cookie lifetime, and will default to 0.
    • domain is a string representing the cookie domain, and will default to "".
    • path is a string representing the cookie path, and will default to "/".
    • secure is a boolean indicating whether to set a secure cookie, and will default to true.
    • sameSite is a string representing the cookie same site, and will default to "Lax".
  • expires is a number representing the maximum lifetime of a session, and will default to the session.gc_maxlifetime PHP setting.
  • path is a string representing the session path, and will default to "sessions".
  • handler
    • className must be set to \Fyre\Session\Handlers\Database\PostgresSessionHandler.

$container->use(Config::class)->set('Session', $options);

Autoloading

It is recommended to bind the Session to the Container as a singleton.

$container->singleton(Session::class);

Any dependencies will be injected automatically when loading from the Container.

$session = $container->use(Session::class);
