Session State

The diva.session module implements management of session state, based entirely on client-side storage via HTTP cookies.

Design

Usage

When the session filter is enabled (which is the default), a plain Python dict is made available as the application context variable app.ctxt.session. It should usually not be necessary to access that dictionary directly, as the diva.session module provides a couple of module-level functions to read, write and delete session data.

For example, a simple request handler accessing the session might look like this:

from diva import session
from diva.templating import output, render

@output('test.html')
def test(request, response):
    cnt = session.get('counter', 0) + 1
    session.set('counter', cnt)
    return render(counter=cnt)
