PlugSessionRedisStore

Extendable Redis store for Plug.Session

Abstract

This library is a dummy connector between Plug and Redis, nothing more. It allows the configuration of the session ID generation, data serialization and Redis connection.

Installation

Declare the dependency on your mix.exs file.

def deps do
  [
    {:plug_session_redis_store, "~> 0.1.0"}
  ]
end

Configuration

PlugSessionRedisStore

condig :plug_session_redis_store,
  sid_generator: PlugSessionRedisStore.Generator.StrongRandBytes,
  encoder: PlugSessionRedisStore.Encoder.Binary,
  redis: [
    host: "localhost",
    database: 2
  ]

• sid_generator: Session ID Generator (default RandBytes)
• encoder: Session Data Serializer (default Binary)
• redis: Redis Connection. This configuration is forwarded as is to Redix (redix-configuration).

Plug

plug Plug.Session,
  store: :redis,
  key: "SSID",
  max_age: 2_592_000, # Optional - default 30 days
  secure: true,
  http_only: true,
  signing_salt: "some $3cr3t salt key" # change this value

NOTE: PlugSessionRedisStore relies on the Plug configuration when it comes to handling session expiration. The duration is directly tied to the cookie one. Like the cookie, the session expiration is reset upon each request.
