GenServer implementation to delete expired sessions periodically. Given an EctoSessions module and periodicity, in milliseconds.

usage

Usage

• In your project's application.ex:

  def start(_type, _args) do
    children = [
      # ...
      {EctoSessions.ExpiredSessionPruner, {YourSessionsModule, :timer.hours(24)}}
    ]
  
    opts = [strategy: :one_for_one, name: EctoSessionsDemo.Supervisor]
    Supervisor.start_link(children, opts)
  end

• Low level usage with start_link:

  GenServer.start_link(
    EctoSessions.ExpiredSessionPruner,
    {YourSessionsModule, 10_000}
  )

Where YourSessionsModule is any module that uses EctoSessions and the second argument the number of milliseconds to 'sleep' between cycles. Ex: 12 * 60 * 60 * 1000 for 12h. Use :timer for readability.
