Installation ------------ [](#installation) 1. Add the repository and requirement to `composer.json`: ``` { "repositories": [ { "type": "vcs", "url": "git@github.com:alfatraining/cassandra-session-handler-bundle.git" } ], "require": { "alfatraining/cassandra-session-handler-bundle": "dev-master" } } ``` 2. Install the bundle via `composer update` or `composer update nothing` if you don't want updates. 3. Register the bundle in `app/AppKernel.php`: ``` new Alfatraining\CassandraSessionHandlerBundle\AlfatrainingCassandraSessionHandlerBundle(), ``` 4. Add configuration parameters to your `app/config/config.yml` (the following shows the bundle defaults) and activate the session handler: ``` framework: session: handler_id: alfatraining_cassandra_session_handler.cassandra_session_handler alfatraining_cassandra_session_handler: keyspace: symfony2_sessions # Cassandra keyspace to use column_family: sessions # Cassandra table/column family to use session_lifetime: 84600 # session lifetime in seconds ``` 5. Add parameters to `app/config/parameters.yml.dist` to configure the Cassandra cluster instance: ``` parameters: # contact points can be 1) a single node (not advisable for Cassandra) cassandra_cluster.contact_points: localhost # or 2) a comma-separated list of nodes (mixed host names / IP addresses possible) cassandra_cluster.contact_points: localhost, 127.0.0.1, 172.18.1.10 # or 3) a native YAML array cassandra_cluster.contact_points: - localhost - 127.0.0.1 # of course, you may also write this using the inline style cassandra_cluster.contact_points: [localhost, 127.0.0.1] # optionally set the credentials to be used for connecting to the Cassandra cluster cassandra_cluster.credentials.username: cassandra cassandra_cluster.credentials.password: cassandra ``` In Symfony 4, you can use an environnement variable which contains comma-separated values as a string : ``` # services.yaml parameters: cassandra_cluster.contact_points: '%env(string:CASSANDRA_CLUSTER_HOSTS)%' ``` ``` # .env.local CASSANDRA_CLUSTER_HOSTS=10.0.0.1,10.0.0.2,10.0.0.3 ``` Then run `composer install` again or update your `parameters.yml` by hand. 6. Don't forget to actually create the keyspace and the column family. An example of the CQL that's needed can be found in `Resources/doc/create_session_keyspace_and_table.sql` inside this bundle. As you can see in the `Resources/config/services.yml` file you need to pass a `Cassandra\Cluster` (it's an interface even if it doesn't like one) instance to the session handler upon instantiation. Because the DefaultCluster has a lot of configuration options (for SSL, authentication and a whole lot more – see for more information) you may replace this class entirely and just instantiate your own custom cluster class instance. Here's how: 1. Replace the class name to use in your `app/config/config.yml` file: ``` parameters: cassandra_cluster.class: Namespace/To/Your/Own/Class ``` 2. Take a look at how the bundle's implementation works in `Lib/Cassandra/Cluster.php`. ### Health Score 54 — FairBetter than 97% of packages Maintenance90 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity28 Limited adoption so far Community13 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity72 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
