This library provides session handling middleware for PSR-7 applications, using an adapter-based approach that will allow usage of ext-session, JWT, or other approaches.

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

[](#installation)

Run the following to install this library:

```
$ composer require zendframework/zend-expressive-session
```

However, the package is not immediately useful unless you have a persistence adapter. If you are okay with using ext-session, you can install the following package as well:

```
$ composer require zendframework/zend-expressive-session-ext
```

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

Documentation is [in the doc tree](docs/book/), and can be compiled using [mkdocs](http://www.mkdocs.org):

```
$ mkdocs build
```

You may also [browse the documentation online](https://docs.zendframework.com/zend-expressive-session/).
