Embryo Session
==============

[](#embryo-session)

Middleware to start a php session using the request data and close it after return the response.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP >= 7.1
- A [PSR-7](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-7/) http message implementation and [PSR-17](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-17/) http factory implementation (ex. [Embryo-Http](https://github.com/davidecesarano/Embryo-Http))
- A [PSR-15](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-15/) http server request implementation (ex. [Embryo-Middleware](https://github.com/davidecesarano/embryo-middleware))

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Using Composer:

```
$ composer require davidecesarano/embryo-session

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Creates a middleware for setting session item:

```
class TestSetSessionMiddleware implements MiddlewareInterface
{
    public function process(ServerRequestInterface $request, RequestHandlerInterface $handler): ResponseInterface
    {
        $session = $request->getAttribute('session');
        $session->set('name', 'World');
        $response = $handler->handle($request);
        return $response->write('Hello '.$session->get('name').'Other Page');
    }
}
```

Creates another middleware for getting session item:

```
class TestGetSessionMiddleware implements MiddlewareInterface
{
    public function process(ServerRequestInterface $request, RequestHandlerInterface $handler): ResponseInterface
    {
        $session = $request->getAttribute('session');
        $response = $handler->handle($request);
        return $response->write('Hello '.$session->get('name').'');
    }
}
```

Adds middleware to dispatcher:

```
$session = new Session;
$middleware = new RequestHandler;
$middleware->add(
    (new SessionMiddleware)
        ->setSession($session)
        ->setOptions([
            'use_cookies'      => false,
            'use_only_cookies' => true
        ])
);
$middleware->add(TestSetSessionMiddleware::class);
$middleware->add(TestGetSessionMiddleware::class);
$response = $middleware->dispatch($request, $response);
```

Options
-------

[](#options)

### `setName(string $name)`

[](#setnamestring-name)

The session name. If it's not provided, use the php's default.

### `seOptions(array $options = [])`

[](#seoptionsarray-options--)

Array of options passed to `session_start()`.

### `setSessionRequestAttribute(string $name)`

[](#setsessionrequestattributestring-name)

The session request attribute. If it's not provided, use `$request->getAttribute('session')`.

Collection
----------

[](#collection)

### Retrieving data

[](#retrieving-data)

You may retrieve an item from the session and you may also pass a default value as the second argument to the `get` method:

```
$session->get('key', 'default');
```

### Retrieving all session data

[](#retrieving-all-session-data)

If you would like to retrieve all the data in the session, you may use the `all` method:

```
$session->all();
```

### Determining if an item exists in the session

[](#determining-if-an-item-exists-in-the-session)

To determine if an item is present in the session, you may use the `has` method. The has method returns `true` if the item is present and is not `null`:

```
if ($session->has('key')) {
    //...
}
```

### Storing data

[](#storing-data)

The `set` method may be used to set a new value onto a session:

```
$session->set('name', 'value');
```

### Flash data

[](#flash-data)

You may wish to store items in the session only for the next request using the `flash` method:

```
$session->flash('name', 'value');
```

### Deleting data

[](#deleting-data)

The `remove` method will remove a piece of data from the session. If you would like the remove all data from the session, you may use the `clear` method:

```
$session->remove('name');
$session->clear();
```
