shelf_session

Description:

shelf session

shelf_session #
The shelf_session is the implementation of cookiesMiddleware and sessionMiddleware for shelf.
Version: 0.1.0
About #
Adds two middleware for shelf:

cookiesMiddleware
sessionMiddleware

The cookiesMiddleware can be used independently.
The sessionMiddleware depends on cookiesMiddleware and must be used after it.
final pipeline = const Pipeline()
.addMiddleware(cookiesMiddleware())
.addMiddleware(sessionMiddleware())
.addHandler(handler);

Session data is stored in a hash map at runtime.
This implementation implies that session data should only be created for authorized users.
This approach eliminates memory overflow in the case of various types of attacks.
After the expiration of the lifetime, the session data is deleted automatically (which causes the memory to be freed).
Timers are not used for these purposes. This happens during the creation of new sessions.
