sessions for aiohttp.web

Project description

aiohttp_session

The library provides sessions for aiohttp.web.

Usage

The library allows to store user-specific data into session object.

The session object has dict-like interface (operations like session[key] = value, value = session[key] etc. are present).

Before processing session in web-handler you have to register session middleware in aiohttp.web.Application.

A trivial usage example:

import asyncio
import time
from aiohttp import web
from aiohttp_session import get_session, session_middleware
from aiohttp_session.cookie_storage import EncryptedCookieStorage

@asyncio.coroutine
def handler(request):
    session = yield from get_session(request)
    session['last_visit'] = time.time()
    return web.Response(body=b'OK')

@asyncio.coroutine
def init(loop):
    app = web.Application(middlewares=[session_middleware(
        EncryptedCookieStorage(b'Sixteen byte key'))])
    app.router.add_route('GET', '/', handler)
    srv = yield from loop.create_server(
        app.make_handler(), '0.0.0.0', 8080)
    return srv

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(init(loop))
try:
    loop.run_forever()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    pass

All storages uses HTTP Cookie named AIOHTTP_COOKIE_SESSION for storing data.

Available session storages are:

  • aiohttp_session.SimpleCookieStorage() – keeps session data as plain JSON string in cookie body. Use the storage only for testing purposes, it’s very non-secure.

  • aiohttp_session.cookie_storage.EncryptedCookieStorage(secret_key) – stores session data into cookies as SimpleCookieStorage but encodes it via AES cipher. secrect_key is a bytes key for AES encryption/decryption, the length should be 16 bytes.

    Requires crypotgraphy library:

    $ pip install aiohttp_session[secure]
  • aiohttp_session.redis_storage.RedisStorage(redis_pool) – stores JSON-ed data into redis, keepeng into cookie only redis key (random UUID). redis_pool is aioredis pool object, created by yield from aioredis.create_pool(...) call.

    Requires aioredis library:

    $ pip install aiohttp_session[aioredis]
