@app.route('/update')
async def update_session(request):
    ses = session.load_from_request(request)
    ses['var'] = 'value'
    response = ResponseHTML('Session has been updated')
    session.save_to_response(ses, response)
    return res

from muffin import Application, ResponseHTML
from muffin_session import Plugin as Session

# Create Muffin Application
app = Application('example')

# Initialize the plugin
# As alternative: session = Session(app, **options)
session = Session()
session.setup(app, secret_key='REALLY_SECRET_KEY_FOR_SIGN_YOUR_SESSIONS', auto_manage=True)

# Use it inside your handlers
@app.route('/update')
async def update_session(request):
    request.session['var'] = 'value'
    return 'Session has been updated'

@app.route('/load')
async def load_session(request):
    return request.session.get('var')

Options

Name	Default value	Description
session_type	`"jwt"`	Session type (`base64\|jwt\|fernet`)
secret_key	`"InsecureSecret"`	A secret code to sign sessions
auto_manage	`False`	Load/Save sessions automatically. Session will be loaded into `request.session`

Or setup it inside Muffin.Application config using the SESSION_ prefix:

SESSION_SECRET_KEY = '123455'

SESSION_COOKIE_NAME = 'info'

Muffin.Application configuration options are case insensitive

from muffin import Application, ResponseHTML
from muffin_session import Plugin as Session

# Create Muffin Application
app = Application('example')

# Initialize the plugin
# As alternative: session = Session(app, **options)
session = Session()
session.setup(app, secret_key='REALLY_SECRET_KEY_FOR_SIGN_YOUR_SESSIONS', auto_manage=True)

@session.user_loader
async def load_user(ident):
    """Define your own user loader. """
