Dancer2...:Simple(3)

💖 Dancer2::Session::Simple — the manual, but make it bestie 💖

okay so this is the <pink>Dancer2::Session::Simple</pink> page, from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, and it's literally one of those tiny modules that does exactly one thing and does it cutely. no cap. let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

Dancer2::Session::Simple — in-memory session backend for Dancer2 🧠✨

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 2.2.1

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this module implements a very simple session backend, and the whole personality trait is that it holds all session data in memory. that's the vibe. that's the whole vibe.

which means — and bestie, listen — sessions are volatile. the second the process exits, they're gone. poof. not coming back. 💀 no persistence, no storage, no memories of what you did last summer.

this module is likely to be most useful for testing purposes. it's the little guy you bring out when you just need something to work in a test and you don't want a whole database situation. iconic behavior honestly.

---

🚨 DISCLAIMER 🚨

bestie. no. this session factory should not be used in production. i'm saying it with my whole chest.

it is only for single-process application workers. because the session objects are stored in-memory, they cannot be shared among multiple workers. like at all. the other workers can't see them. they're not invited. 💅

so: one process, one vibe, that's it.

---

🎀 CONFIGURATION 🎀

the setting session should be set to "Simple" in order to use this session engine in a Dancer2 application. that's the whole config. slay. ✨
