View Source PowPersistentSession.Plug.Cookie (Pow v1.0.38)
This plug will handle persistent user sessions with cookies.
The cookie and token will expire after 30 days. The token in the cookie can only be used once to create a session.
If an assigned private :pow_session_metadata
key exists in the conn with a
keyword list containing a :fingerprint
key, that fingerprint value will be
set along with the user as the persistent session value as
{user, session_metadata: [fingerprint: fingerprint]}
.
The token used in the client is signed using Pow.Plug.sign_token/4
to
prevent timing attacks.
Example
defmodule MyAppWeb.Endpoint do
# ...
plug Pow.Plug.Session, otp_app: :my_app
plug PowPersistentSession.Plug.Cookie
#...
end
Configuration options
:persistent_session_store
- seePowPersistentSession.Plug.Base
:cache_store_backend
- seePowPersistentSession.Plug.Base
:persistent_session_cookie_key
- cookie key name. This defaults to "persistent_session". If:otp_app
is used it'll automatically prepend the key with the:otp_app
value.:persistent_session_ttl
- used for both backend store and max age for cookie. SeePowPersistentSession.Plug.Base
for more.:persistent_session_cookie_opts
- keyword list of cookie options, seePlug.Conn.put_resp_cookie/4
for options. The default options are[max_age: max_age, path: "/"]
where:max_age
is the value defined in:persistent_session_ttl
.
Custom metadata
You can assign a private :pow_persistent_session_metadata
key in the conn
with custom metadata as a keyword list. The only current use this has is to
set :session_metadata
that'll be passed on as :pow_session_metadata
for
new session generation.
session_metadata =
conn.private
|> Map.get(:pow_session_metadata, [])
|> Keyword.take([:first_seen_at])
Plug.Conn.put_private(conn, :pow_persistent_session_metadata, session_metadata: session_metadata)
This ensure that you are able to keep session metadata consistent between browser sessions.
When a persistent session token is used, the
:pow_persistent_session_metadata
assigns key in the conn will be populated
with a :session_metadata
keyword list so that the session metadata that was
pulled from the persistent session can be carried over to the new persistent
session. :fingerprint
will always be ignored as to not record the old
fingerprint.
Summary
Functions
Authenticates a user with the persistent session cookie.
Sets a persistent session cookie with a randomly generated unique token.
Expires the persistent session.
Functions
@spec authenticate(Plug.Conn.t(), Pow.Config.t()) :: Plug.Conn.t()
Authenticates a user with the persistent session cookie.
If a persistent session cookie exists, it'll fetch the credentials from the persistent session cache.
If credentials was fetched successfully, a global lock is set and the token
in the cache is deleted, a new session is created, and create/2
is called
to create a new persistent session cookie. If setting the lock failed, the
user will fetched will be set for the conn
with
Pow.Plug.assign_current_user/3
.
If a :session_metadata
keyword list is fetched from the persistent session
metadata, all the values will be merged into the private
:pow_session_metadata
key in the conn.
If the persistent session cache returns a nil
value the persistent session
will be deleted as it means the context function could not find the
associated user.
The persistent session token will be decoded and verified with
Pow.Plug.verify_token/4
.
@spec create(Plug.Conn.t(), map(), Pow.Config.t()) :: Plug.Conn.t()
Sets a persistent session cookie with a randomly generated unique token.
The token is set as a key in the persistent session cache with the id fetched
from the struct. Any existing persistent session will be deleted first with
delete/2
.
If an assigned private :pow_session_metadata
key exists in the conn with a
keyword list containing a :fingerprint
value, then that value will be set
in a :session_metadata
keyword list in the persistent session metadata. The
value will look like:
{user, session_metadata: [fingerprint: fingerprint]}
The unique token will be prepended by the :otp_app
configuration value, if
present.
The token will be signed for public consumption with Pow.Plug.sign_token/4
.
@spec delete(Plug.Conn.t(), Pow.Config.t()) :: Plug.Conn.t()
Expires the persistent session.
If a persistent session cookie exists the token in the persistent session
cache will be deleted, and cookie deleted with
Plug.Conn.delete_resp_cookie/3
.
