|

<p>The HTTP protocol, at a first glance, is stateless: the client sends a request, the server
|
||
parses its content, performs some processing and returns a response. The outcome is only
|
||
influenced by the provided inputs (i.e. the request content) and whatever state the server
|
||
queries while performing its processing.</p>
|
||
<p>Stateless systems are easier to reason about, but they are not quite as powerful as we need them
|
||
to be - e.g. how do you authenticate a user? The user would be forced to authenticate <strong>for
|
||
every single request</strong>. That is, for example, how ‘Basic’ Authentication works. While it may
|
||
work for a machine user (i.e. an API client), it is impractical for a person—you do not want a
|
||
login prompt on every single page you navigate to!</p>
|
||
<p>There is a solution - <strong>sessions</strong>. Using sessions the server can attach state to a set of
|
||
requests coming from the same client. They are built on top of cookies - the server sets a
|
||
cookie in the HTTP response (<code>Set-Cookie</code> header), the client (e.g. the browser) will store the
|
||
cookie and play it back to the server when sending new requests (using the <code>Cookie</code> header).</p>
|
||
<p>We refer to the cookie used for sessions as a <strong>session cookie</strong>. Its content is called
|
||
<strong>session key</strong> (or <strong>session ID</strong>), while the state attached to the session is referred to as
|
||
<strong>session state</strong>.</p>
|
||
<p><code>actix-session</code> provides an easy-to-use framework to manage sessions in applications built on
|
||
top of Actix Web. <a href="struct.SessionMiddleware.html" title="struct actix_session::SessionMiddleware"><code>SessionMiddleware</code></a> is the middleware underpinning the functionality
|
||
provided by <code>actix-session</code>; it takes care of all the session cookie handling and instructs the
|
||
<strong>storage backend</strong> to create/delete/update the session state based on the operations performed
|
||
against the active <a href="struct.Session.html" title="struct actix_session::Session"><code>Session</code></a>.</p>
|
||
<p><code>actix-session</code> provides some built-in storage backends: (<a href="storage/struct.CookieSessionStore.html" title="struct actix_session::storage::CookieSessionStore"><code>CookieSessionStore</code></a>,
|
||
<a href="storage/struct.RedisSessionStore.html" title="struct actix_session::storage::RedisSessionStore"><code>RedisSessionStore</code></a>, and <a href="storage/struct.RedisActorSessionStore.html" title="struct actix_session::storage::RedisActorSessionStore"><code>RedisActorSessionStore</code></a>) - you can create a custom storage backend
|
||
by implementing the <a href="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 <a href="struct.SessionMiddleware.html" title="struct actix_session::SessionMiddleware"><code>SessionMiddleware</code></a>
|
||
as a middleware on your <code>App</code>:</p>
|

<h2 id="choosing-a-backend"><a class="doc-anchor" href="#choosing-a-backend">§</a>Choosing A Backend</h2>
|
||
<p>By default, <code>actix-session</code> does not provide any storage backend to retrieve and save the state
|
||
attached to your sessions. You can enable:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>a purely cookie-based “backend”, <a href="storage/struct.CookieSessionStore.html" title="struct actix_session::storage::CookieSessionStore"><code>CookieSessionStore</code></a>, using the <code>cookie-session</code> feature
|
||
flag.</p>
|
||
<div class="example-wrap"><pre class="language-toml"><code>[dependencies]
|
||
# ...
|
||
actix-session = { version = "...", features = ["cookie-session"] }
|
||
</code></pre></div></li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>a Redis-based backend via <a href="https://docs.rs/actix-redis"><code>actix-redis</code></a>,
|
||
<a href="storage/struct.RedisActorSessionStore.html" title="struct actix_session::storage::RedisActorSessionStore"><code>RedisActorSessionStore</code></a>, using the <code>redis-actor-session</code> feature flag.</p>

<li>
|

<p>a Redis-based backend via <a href="https://docs.rs/redis-rs"><code>redis-rs</code></a>, <a href="storage/struct.RedisSessionStore.html" title="struct actix_session::storage::RedisSessionStore"><code>RedisSessionStore</code></a>, using

actix-session = { version = "...", features = ["redis-rs-session"] }

<p>Add the <code>redis-rs-tls-session</code> feature flag if you want to connect to Redis using a secured

connection:</p>
