The Gin middleware for session management has backends like cookie-based, Redis, memcached, MongoDB, memstore.
But what if you want a file-based session?
package main
import (
"github.com/gin-contrib/sessions"
"github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
psession "github.com/phwoolcon/gin-utils/session"
)
func main() {
engine := gin.Default()
apiRouter := engine.Group("/api")
fsStore := psession.NewFileStore("./data/session", []byte("secret"))
apiRouter.Use(sessions.Sessions("auth", fsStore))
apiRouter.GET("/hello", func(context *gin.Context) {
session := sessions.Default(context)
if session.Get("hello") != "world" {
session.Set("hello", "world")
session.Save()
}
context.JSON(200, gin.H{"hello": session.Get("hello")})
})
engine.Run(":8000")
}
