How do I set/get session vars in a Rack app?
session
is a method that is part of some web frameworks, for example Sinatra and Rails both have session
methods. Plain rack
applications don’t have a session
method, unless you add one yourself.
The session hash is stored in the rack env hash under the key rack.session
, so you can access it like this (assuming you’ve named the rack environment to your app env
):
env['rack.session'][:msg]="Hello Rack"
Alternatively, you could use Rack’s built in request
object, like this:
request = Rack::Request.new(env)request.session[:msg]="Hello Rack"
You need to load rack::session
module next probably cookie like herehttp://rack.rubyforge.org/doc/classes/Rack/Session/Cookie.html
This like explains it with example.
