by implementing the <ahref="storage/trait.SessionStore.html"title="trait actix_session::storage::SessionStore"><code>SessionStore</code></a> trait.</p>
<p>To start using sessions in your Actix Web application you must register <ahref="struct.SessionMiddleware.html"title="struct actix_session::SessionMiddleware"><code>SessionMiddleware</code></a>
