gorillaradix

gorillaradix is a gorilla sessions.Store using radix as its persistence layer.

It supports vanilla redis and redis cluster

Quickstart

To use this library you'd need to do something like:

Vanilla redis

store, err := gorillaradix.NewStore(gorillaradix.PoolConfiguration{
	Host: "my-redis-host:6379",
	ConnectionOptions: gorillaradix.ConnectionOptions{
		Password:    "terriblePassword",
		PingTimeout: 10 * time.Second,
		Timeout:     1 * time.Minute,
	    },
	}, gorillaradix.SessionOptions{
	Secret:      "terribleSecret",
})

redis cluster

store, err := gorillaradix.NewStoreCluster(gorillaradix.PoolConfiguration{
	Hosts: []string{"my-cluster-host-1:6379", "my-cluster-host-2:6379"},
	ConnectionOptions: gorillaradix.ConnectionOptions{
		Password:    "terriblePassword",
		PingTimeout: 10 * time.Second,
		Timeout:     1 * time.Minute,
	    },
	}, gorillaradix.SessionOptions{
	Secret:      "terribleSecret",
})

Options

While there are reasonable defaults provided by the library, there are a number of variables to customize this session store.

Notable session options:

Variable	Description	Default
KeyPrefix	Start session keys in redis with this string	session_
MaxAge	How long session data should be retained in seconds	86400
MaxLength	How much data should a session be able to store in bytes	32768
