I would think that this could be used by Plack middleware and Catalyst as core
session functionality. So I don't think in the end its either or.
Aran, the main thing I can't figure is how to have a cookie storage... since
that's gotta be aware of the request/response cycle. I'd adopt this in a
moment for new code if we could figure that part out. Personally I just put a
few tiny IDs in the session so cookie storage is more than enough, and nice for
quick prototypes.
Any thoughts? You can hit me out on IRC #catalyst if that is either - jnap

Ya, I have Plack::Middleware::Session listed in the alternatives section of
the manual. Thanks for the reply!

Hi Aran,
did you look at Plack::Session if you want something decoupled from Catalyst?
I haven't used it so far as I don't require sessions that are shared with
non-Catalyst stuff but it might be a better base for a futureproof session
module.

Hey guys,
I've been working on a project which is a (mostly) drop in replacement for
Catalyst::Plugin::Session. Here are the GitHub repos:
https://github.com/bluefeet/Web-Starchhttps://github.com/bluefeet/Web-Starch-Store-CHIhttps://github.com/bluefeet/Web-Starch-Store-AmazonDynamoDBhttps://github.com/bluefeet/Web-Starch-Plugin-Serealhttps://github.com/bluefeet/Catalyst-Plugin-Starch
The manual is a good place to start:
https://github.com/bluefeet/Web-Starch/blob/master/lib/Web/Starch/Manual.pod
I'm using this @work and will be deploying it to production, replacing
Catalyst::Plugin::Session, sometime next week if all goes well this week.
I've not put these modules on CPAN yet as I'd love some feedback before I do
so. I want to make sure the module names, the interfaces, and just the entire
design are acceptable to people. I want this to be a real step forward.
@work we've made extensive use of Catalyst::Plugin::Sesssion for years now, and
related modules such as Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication. So far everything
has "just worked" when I replaced Catalyst::Plugin::Session with
Catalyst::Plugin::Starch.
Why do this?
- Catalyst::Plugin::Session (C:P:S) is slower in NYTProf reports than I
would expect it to be.
- C:P:S is tied into Catalyst. This is unnecessary. Catalyst should be
used to glue things together, not as a platform to build whole technologies on.
By decoupling sessions from Catalyst many wins can be had in reusability and
unit testing (etc?).
- C:P:S can be difficult and messy to extend. This is partly due to how
Catalyst plugins work, but also due to the design of C:P:S.
