JWT store

The JWT store puts all session data on the client in the form of a JWT, no session data is stored on the server.

Usage

Install with v install einar-hjortdal.sessions

// import the module
import einar_hjortdal.sessions

// Create the options struct
// For more information about this struct, please look at the source.
jwtso := JsonWebTokenStoreOptions{
  // Provide a secret to encrypt the JWT.
  // It is recommended to use environment variables to store such secrets.
  secret: os.get_env(JWT_SECRET)
}

// Create a new store
jwt_store := new_jwt_store(jwtso)

// Use the JsonWebTokenStore to create or load existing sessions.
// Note: More than one session can be stored, each is stored in its own custom HTTP header.
mut session := jwt_store.new(request, 'demo')

// Edit sessions and then save the changes
// Session.values can only contain a string: you must encode your data to string.
// Structs can be encoded to json, but any encoding that outputs a string is fine.
session.values = 'some string'

jwt_store.save(response_header, session)
