NAME
Mojolicious::Sessions - Signed cookie based sessions
SYNOPSIS
use Mojolicious::Sessions;
my $sessions = Mojolicious::Sessions->new;DESCRIPTION
Mojolicious::Sessions is a very simple signed cookie based session implementation. All data gets serialized with Mojo::JSON and stored on the client-side, but is protected from unwanted changes with a signature.
ATTRIBUTES
Mojolicious::Sessions implements the following attributes.
cookie_domain
my $domain = $session->cookie_domain;
$session = $session->cookie_domain('.example.com');Domain for session cookie, not defined by default.

my $name = $session->cookie_name;

# Expire a week from now
$c->session(expires => time + 604800);
# Expire a long long time ago
$c->session(expires => 1);secure
