sanic_session
is session management extension for Sanic that integrates server-backed sessions with most convenient API.
sanic_session
provides a number of session interfaces for you to store a client's session data. The interfaces available right now are:
- Redis (supports both drivers
aioredis
andasyncio_redis
) - Memcache (via
aiomcache
) - Mongodb (via
sanic_motor
andpymongo
) - In-Memory (suitable for testing and development environments)
Install with pip
(there is other options for different drivers, check documentation):
pip install sanic_session
or if you prefer Pipenv
:
pipenv install sanic_session
Documentation is available at sanic-session.readthedocs.io.
Also, make sure you read OWASP's Session Management Cheat Sheet for some really useful info on session management.
A simple example uses the in-memory session interface.
from sanic import Sanic
from sanic.response import text
from sanic_session import Session, InMemorySessionInterface
app = Sanic()
session = Session(app, interface=InMemorySessionInterface())
@app.route("/")
async def index(request):
# interact with the session like a normal dict
if not request['session'].get('foo'):
request['session']['foo'] = 0
request['session']['foo'] += 1
return text(request['session']['foo'])
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=8000, debug=True)
Examples of using redis and memcache backed sessions can be found in the documentation, under Using the Interfaces.
