It uses [`react/cache`](https://reactphp.org/cache/) for storage or any cache handler implementing [`React\Cache\CacheInterface`](https://github.com/reactphp/react/wiki/Users#cache-implementations). Usage ===== [](#usage) ``` $server = new Server( $loop, /** Other Middleware */ new SessionMiddleware( 'CookieName', $cache, // Instance implementing React\Cache\CacheInterface [ // Optional array with cookie settings, order matters 0, // expiresAt, int, default '', // path, string, default '', // domain, string, default false, // secure, bool, default false // httpOnly, bool, default ], ), /** Other Middleware */ function (ServerRequestInterface $request) { $session = $request->getAttribute(SessionMiddleware::ATTRIBUTE_NAME); // Overwrite session contents, the details of changing specific keys is up to you $session->setContents([ 'foo' => 'bar', ]); // Get session contents var_export($session->getContents()); // Prints something like: ['foo' = 'bar'] return new Response(); } ); ``` Response cache ============== [](#response-cache) Using this middleware together with [`wyrihaximus/react-http-middleware-response-cache`](https://github.com/WyriHaximus/reactphp-http-middleware-response-cache) then please take a look at [`wyrihaximus/react-http-middleware-response-cache-session-cache-configuration`](https://github.com/WyriHaximus/reactphp-http-middleware-response-cache-session-cache-configuration) to ensure you don't cache responses from users with active sessions. To/From array ------------- [](#tofrom-array) In case you need to pass a session into a child process it has `toArray` and `fromArray` methods: ``` $array = $session->toArray(); // Transfer to child process $session = (new Session('', [], new RandomBytes()))->fromArray($array); // The same can be done transferring changes back to the parent ``` License ======= [](#license) The MIT License (MIT) Copyright (c) 2026 Cees-Jan Kiewiet Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
