session
session copied to clipboard
Get session ID from header instead of cookie
Prerequisites
- [x] I have written a descriptive issue title
- [x] I have searched existing issues to ensure the feature has not already been requested
🚀 Feature Proposal
As the title say, a way to allow for other ways to retrieve the session id from the client (and also send it back), maybe not only with headers, but creating a interface that the user could implement any custom logic to it.
Motivation
I would like to use sessions to store data in my API, accessing it from places that are not a browser, where handling cookies are not as convenient as just a plain header
Example
app.register(fastifySession, {
secret: 'a secret with minimum length of 32 characters',
// Maybe you guys have a better name suggestion for this parameter
sessionId: {
retrieve(request, cookieOptions) {
return request.headers['session-id'];
},
set(reply, sessionId, cookieOptions) {
reply.headers('session-id', sessionId);
}
}
});
I've created a PR to test the concept, I'm not sure if idStore is the best suited name for it, but it works
