Quick Examples
--------------

[](#quick-examples)

```
$session = new \duncan3dc\Sessions\SessionInstance("my-app");
$session->set("current-status", 4);
$currentStatus = $session->get("current-status");
```

Avoid common key clashes:

```
$session->set("user", "Mark");

$backend = $session->createNamespace("backend");
$backend->set("user", "Caroline");

$session->get("user"); # "Mark"
$backend->get("user"); # "Caroline"
```

Store one-time flash messages:

```
$session->setFlash("message", "Your profile has been updated");

$session->getFlash("message"); # "Your profile has been updated";

$session->getFlash("message"); # null;
```

There is also a static class you can use with all the features above:

```
use \duncan3dc\Sessions\Session;
Session::name("my-app");

Session::set("current-status", 4);
$currentStatus = Session::get("current-status");
```
