Welcome to Session Bag
======================

[](#welcome-to-session-bag)

***SessionBag*** is a lightweight and convenient package for interacting with PHP sessions. With an easy-to-use API, you can start, check, store, retrieve, and flash data from the session effortlessly.

SessionBag makes session management as simple as reaching into a bag and pulling out exactly what you need, whether it's persistent data or temporary flash messages.

***Note***: Session bag uses dot notation for hierarchical session data access.

### How-To

[](#how-to)

***Initialize the session***

```
   $session = new Session();
```

***Start the session***

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

***Check if a value exists***

```
   $session->has("errors");
```

***Push a value into the session***

```
   $session->push("email", "example@domain.com");
```

***Retrieve a value***

- Return null (or a specified value) as default if the value doesn't exist.

```
   $default = null;
   $session->get("errors", $default);
```

***Flashing a message to a session***

```
   $session->flash('status', 'Your profile has been updated.');
```

***Retrieving and Removing a Flash Message***

- This will remove the message from the session after retrieving it.

```
   $session->getFlash('status');
```

***Prevent flash data from being removed***

- Keep flash data alive for the next request

```
   // Prevent all the flash data from being removed
   $session->reflash();

   // Prevent specific flash message(s) from being removed
   $session->reflash(['email', 'username']);
```

### Reflash example

[](#reflash-example)

```
   $data = [
    'username' => 'example',
    'email' => 'example@domain.com',
  ];

  // Flash the data into the session
  $session->flash('username', $data['username']);
  $session->flash('email', $data['email']);

  // Reflash only the 'email' key, keeping it for the next request
  $session->reflash(['email']);

  // Now, let's retrieve the flashed data:
  echo $session->getFlash('username'); // Outputs: example
  echo $session->getFlash('email');    // Outputs: example@domain.com

  // At this point, only 'email' remains in the flash data,
  // 'username' is no longer available for future requests.
```
