Documentation

Available on godoc.org.

See http://www.gorillatoolkit.org/pkg/sessions for full documentation on underlying interface.

Example

// Fetch new store.
store, err := NewPGStore("postgres://user:password@127.0.0.1:5432/database?sslmode=verify-full", []byte("secret-key"))
if err != nil {
    log.Error(err.Error())
}
defer store.Close()
// Run a background goroutine to clean up expired sessions from the database.
defer store.StopCleanup(store.Cleanup(time.Minute * 5))

// Get a session.
session, err = store.Get(req, "session-key")
if err != nil {
    log.Error(err.Error())
}

// Add a value.
session.Values["foo"] = "bar"

// Save.
if err = sessions.Save(req, rsp); err != nil {
    t.Fatalf("Error saving session: %v", err)
}

// Delete session.
session.Options.MaxAge = -1
if err = sessions.Save(req, rsp); err != nil {
    t.Fatalf("Error saving session: %v", err)
}

Breaking changes

• 2016-07-19 - NewPGStore and NewPGStoreFromPool now returns (*PGStore, error)

Thanks

I've stolen, borrowed and gotten inspiration from the other backends available:

• redistore
• mysqlstore
• babou dbstore

Thank you all for sharing your code!

What makes this backend different is that it's for Postgresql and uses the fine datamapper Gorp. Make sure you use a somewhat new codebase of Gorp as it now defaults to text for strings when it used to default to varchar 255. Varchar 255 is unfortunately too small.
