### HTTP Request session context service handled by PSR-15 middleware

[](#http-request-session-context-service-handled-by-psr-15-middleware)

### Installation with [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/)

[](#installation-with-composer)

```
composer require polymorphine/session
```

### How it works?

[](#how-it-works)

In procedural code you would have to call `session_start()` to allow access to superglobal `$_SESSION` array. This library also requires initialisation phase, but it is achieved with ([PSR-15](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-15/)) middleware. Request going through this middleware will trigger [`SessionContext`](src/SessionContext.php), and [`SessionStorage`](src/SessionStorage.php) will become available.

The session storage is not superglobal anymore, and it can be passed explicitly into objects that require access to its data. The downside is that it **cannot be instantiated directly *before request processing*** is started, so lazy initialisation is necessary one way or another.
