aiohttp_session_file

The library provides file sessions store for aiohttp.web.

Usage

A trivial usage example:

import asyncio
import shutil
import tempfile
import time

from aiohttp import web
from aiohttp_session import setup, get_session
from aiohttp_session_file import FileStorage


async def handler(request):
    session = await get_session(request)
    last_visit = session['last_visit'] if 'last_visit' in session else None
    session['last_visit'] = time.time()
    text = 'Last visited: {}'.format(last_visit)
    return web.Response(text=text)


async def setup_dir(app):
    dirpath = tempfile.mkdtemp(prefix='aiohttp-session-')

    async def remove_dir(app):
        shutil.rmtree(dirpath)

    app.on_cleanup.append(remove_dir)
    return dirpath


async def make_app():
    app = web.Application()

    dirpath = await setup_dir(app)

    max_age = 3600 * 24 * 365  # 1 year
    setup(app, FileStorage(dirpath, max_age=max_age))

    app.router.add_get('/', handler)
    return app


web.run_app(make_app())

Note

Expiry session files need to be cleaned up outside of this tiny library. Please refer to issue#1.
