The library provides sessions for aiohttp.web
__.
.. _aiohttp_web: https://aiohttp.readthedocs.io/en/latest/web.html
__ aiohttpweb
The library allows us to store user-specific data into a session object.
The session object has a dict-like interface (operations like
session[key] = value
, value = session[key]
etc. are present).
Before processing the session in a web-handler, you have to register the
session middleware in aiohttp.web.Application
.
A trivial usage example:
.. code:: python
import time
from cryptography import fernet
from aiohttp import web
from aiohttp_session import setup, get_session
from aiohttp_session.cookie_storage import EncryptedCookieStorage
async def handler(request):
session = await get_session(request)
last_visit = session['last_visit'] if 'last_visit' in session else None
session['last_visit'] = time.time()
text = 'Last visited: {}'.format(last_visit)
return web.Response(text=text)
def make_app():
app = web.Application()
fernet_key = fernet.Fernet.generate_key()
f = fernet.Fernet(fernet_key)
setup(app, EncryptedCookieStorage(f))
app.router.add_get('/', handler)
return app
web.run_app(make_app())
All storages use an HTTP Cookie named AIOHTTP_SESSION
for storing
data. This can be modified by passing the keyword argument cookie_name
to
the storage class of your choice.
Available session storages are:
aiohttp_session.SimpleCookieStorage()
-- keeps session data as a
plain JSON string in the cookie body. Use the storage only for testing
purposes, it's very non-secure.
aiohttp_session.cookie_storage.EncryptedCookieStorage(secret_key)
-- stores the session data into a cookie as SimpleCookieStorage
but
encodes it via AES cipher. secrect_key
is a bytes
key for AES
encryption/decryption, the length should be 32 bytes.
Requires cryptography
library::
$ pip install aiohttp_session[secure]
aiohttp_session.redis_storage.RedisStorage(redis_pool)
-- stores
JSON encoded data in redis, keeping only the redis key (a random UUID) in
the cookie. redis_pool
is a redis
object, created by
await aioredis.from_url(...)
call.
$ pip install aiohttp_session[aioredis]
