Axum Session
</h1>
<p>
`axum_session` provide's a Session management middleware that stores all session data within a MemoryStore internally. It can also save data to an optional persistent database.
It uses a Cookie inserted UUID to sync back to the memory store. Formally known as Axum Database Sessions.
</p>
[](https://crates.io/crates/axum_session)
[](https://docs.rs/axum_session)
- Cookies only Store a Generated Session UUID and a Storable Boolean.
- Uses a DatabasePool Trait so you can implement your own Sub Storage Layer.
- Convenient API for `Session` no need to mark as Read or Write making Usage Easier.
- Uses `dashmap` for internal memory lookup and storage to achieve high throughput.
- Uses Serdes for Data Serialization so it can store any Serdes supported type's into the Sessions data.
- Supports Redis, SurrealDB and SQLx optional Databases out of the Box.
- Supports Memory Only usage. No need to use a persistant database.

## Install
Axum Session uses [`tokio`].
By Default Axum Session uses `postgres-rustls` so if you need tokio native TLS please add `default-features = false`
to your cargo include for Axum Session.
[`tokio`]: https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio
```toml
# Cargo.toml
[dependencies]
# Postgres + rustls
axum_session = { version = "0.1.3", features = [ "postgres-rustls"] }
```
#### Cargo Feature Flags

# Example
```rust ignore
use sqlx::{ConnectOptions, postgres::{PgPoolOptions, PgConnectOptions}};
use std::net::SocketAddr;
use axum_session::{Session, SessionPgPool, SessionConfig, SessionStore, SessionLayer};
use axum::{
Router,
routing::get,
};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
let poll = connect_to_database().await.unwrap();
//This Defaults as normal Cookies.
//To enable Private cookies for integrity, and authenticity please check the next Example.
let session_config = SessionConfig::default()
.with_table_name("test_table");
let session_store = SessionStore::<SessionPgPool>::new(Some(poll.clone().into()), session_config);
//Create the Database table for storing our Session Data.
session_store.initiate().await.unwrap();
// build our application with some routes
let app = Router::new()
.route("/greet", get(greet))
.layer(SessionLayer::new(session_store));
// run it
let addr = SocketAddr::from(([127, 0, 0, 1], 3000));
tracing::debug!("listening on {}", addr);
axum::Server::bind(&addr)
.serve(app.into_make_service())
.await
.unwrap();
}
async fn greet(session: Session<SessionPgPool>) -> String {
let mut count: usize = session.get("count").unwrap_or(0);
count += 1;
session.set("count", count);
count.to_string()
}
async fn connect_to_database() -> anyhow::Result<sqlx::Pool<sqlx::Postgres>> {
// ...
unimplemented!()
}
```
To enable private cookies for confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity.
When a Key is set it will automatically set the Cookie into an encypted Private cookie which
both protects the cookies data from prying eye's it also ensures the authenticity of the cookie.
# Example
```rust ignore
use sqlx::{ConnectOptions, postgres::{PgPoolOptions, PgConnectOptions}};
use std::net::SocketAddr;
use axum_session::{Session, SessionPgPool, SessionConfig, SessionStore, SessionLayer, SessionMode, Key};
use axum::{
Router,
routing::get,
};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
let session_config = SessionConfig::default()
.with_table_name("test_table")
// 'Key::generate()' will generate a new key each restart of the server.
// If you want it to be more permanent then generate and set it to a config file.
// If with_key() is used it will set all cookies as private, which guarantees integrity, and authenticity.
.with_key(Key::generate());
let session_store = SessionStore::<SessionPgPool>::new(None, session_config);
session_store.initiate().await.unwrap();
// build our application with some routes
let app = Router::new()
.route("/greet", get(greet))
.layer(SessionLayer::new(session_store));
// run it
let addr = SocketAddr::from(([127, 0, 0, 1], 3000));
tracing::debug!("listening on {}", addr);
axum::Server::bind(&addr)
.serve(app.into_make_service())
.await
.unwrap();
}
```
To use axum_session in non_persistant mode Set the client to None and import SessionNullPool.
SessionNullPool is always loaded and can be used where you do not want to include any database within the build.
# Example
```rust ignore
use sqlx::{ConnectOptions, postgres::{PgPoolOptions, PgConnectOptions}};
use std::net::SocketAddr;
use axum_session::{Session, SessionNullPool, SessionConfig, SessionStore, SessionLayer};
use axum::{
Router,
routing::get,
};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
let session_config = SessionConfig::default()
.with_table_name("test_table");
let session_store = SessionStore::<SessionNullPool>::new(None, session_config);
// build our application with some routes
let app = Router::new()
.route("/greet", get(greet))
.layer(SessionLayer::new(session_store));
// run it
let addr = SocketAddr::from(([127, 0, 0, 1], 3000));
tracing::debug!("listening on {}", addr);
axum::Server::bind(&addr)
.serve(app.into_make_service())
.await
.unwrap();
}
async fn greet(session: Session<SessionNullPool>) -> String {
let mut count: usize = session.get("count").unwrap_or(0);
count += 1;
session.set("count", count);
count.to_string()
}
```
To use axum_session with session mode set as Storable.
# Example
```rust ignore
use sqlx::{ConnectOptions, postgres::{PgPoolOptions, PgConnectOptions}};
use std::net::SocketAddr;
use axum_session::{Session, SessionPgPool, SessionConfig, SessionStore, SessionLayer, SessionMode};
use axum::{
Router,
routing::get,
};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
let session_config = SessionConfig::default()
.with_table_name("test_table").with_mode(SessionMode::Storable);
let session_store = SessionStore::<SessionPgPool>::new(None, session_config);
session_store.initiate().await.unwrap();
// build our application with some routes
let app = Router::new()
.route("/greet", get(greet))
.layer(SessionLayer::new(session_store));
// run it
let addr = SocketAddr::from(([127, 0, 0, 1], 3000));
tracing::debug!("listening on {}", addr);
axum::Server::bind(&addr)
.serve(app.into_make_service())
.await
.unwrap();
}
//No need to set the sessions accepted or not with gdpr mode disabled
async fn greet(session: Session<SessionPgPool>) -> String {
let mut count: usize = session.get("count").unwrap_or(0);
// Allow the Session data to be keep in memory and the database for the lifetime.
session.set_store(true);
count += 1;
session.set("count", count);
count.to_string()
}
```
