✨ Maypole::Session ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to Maypole::Session 💖 — this is the User Contributed Perl Documentation page for it, and it's literally the session-related functionality for Maypole. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

Maypole::Session — session related functionality for maypole 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

use Maypole::Session;

my $uid = Maypole::Session::generate_unique_id()

like, that's it. that's the whole entry point rn. ✨

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so this class is the one that hands Maypole its session related methods — stuff like unique id's for requests. very demure, very mindful. 👑

currently it provides only the generate_unique_id() function. and here's the lowkey genius part: by checking the id's generated by this function and included in submitted forms, it's possible to see if a form has been submitted before. 🕵️♀️

but fr fr — implementing these checks is left to the developer of that application. the module gives you the id, the actual checking is on you, bestie. no cap. 😭

further functionality is to be added here in later versions to provide easy access to sessions, either through plugins or builtin methods. so like... watch this space. 🌈

💅 FUNCTIONS 💅

🍓 generate_unique_id()

my $uid = Maypole::Session::generate_unique_id()

generates a unique id and returns it. that's the whole job description. 💖

  • it requires no arguments — zero, nada, nothing, she's independent 💅
  • but it does accept size
  • and the default is 32

so if you just call it bare, you get a 32-sized unique id. iconic behaviour honestly. ✨

🧚 TODO 🧚

currently, implementing uniqueness tests of form submissions is left to the Maypole user. which is to say — it's giving "you do it". 🙈

but good news: they plan to provide an optional default behaviour to automate this if required. so one day it might just... happen for you. 👑
