What makes up a session?

A session can be used to store any information we choose. Since we’ll be defining a session type, we can add any fields we want. For Gophr, the only information we’ll require at this point is the user that we want to keep logged in. So, along with the identifier and expiry values, our session type looks like this:

1_new_session/session.go (excerpt)

type Session struct { ID string UserID string Expiry time.Time }

We need to know how long to keep a session active for, and the name of the cookie that we store it in, so let’s define a couple of constants with those values:

1_new_session/session.go (excerpt)

const ( // Keep users logged in for 3 days sessionLength = 24 * 3 * time.Hour sessionCookieName = "GophrSession" sessionIDLength = 20 )
