Flask Session with Alchemical #68

Open hackzaid opened 2 years ago

hackzaid commented 2 years ago

I see in APIFairy another variant of SQLAlchemy is being used; Alchemical. How do I set Flask Session to use Alchemical DB with APIFairy since Flask Session has already predifined SESSION_TYPEs which are:

null: NullSessionInterface (default)
redis: RedisSessionInterface
memcached: MemcachedSessionInterface
filesystem: FileSystemSessionInterface
mongodb: MongoDBSessionInterface
sqlalchemy: SqlAlchemySessionInterface

You can use any database that you like in your project, since APIFary does not rely on any database services.

Also you seem to be confusing database sessions (provided, by SQLAlchemy, Flask-SQLAlchemy, Alchemical and others) with user sessions (provided by Flask-Session). Database sessions and user sessions are completely unrelated and have different purposes.

Also, looking in Flask-Session's documentation, it is clearly stated that to use the SQLAlchemy storage for your user session you have to use Flask-SQLAlchemy: https://flask-session.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#sqlalchemysessioninterface
