NAME

       Dancer::Session::YAML - YAML-file-based session backend for Dancer

DESCRIPTION

       This module implements a session engine based on YAML files. Session are stored in a
       session_dir as YAML files. The idea behind this module was to provide a transparent
       session storage for the developer.

       This backend is intended to be used in development environments, when looking inside a
       session can be useful.

       It's not recommended to use this session engine in production environments.

CONFIGURATION

       The setting session should be set to "YAML" in order to use this session engine in a
       Dancer application.

       Files will be stored to the value of the setting "session_dir", whose default value is
       "appdir/sessions".

       Here is an example configuration that use this session engine and stores session files in
       /tmp/dancer-sessions

           session: "YAML"
           session_dir: "/tmp/dancer-sessions"

METHODS

   reset
       To avoid checking if the sessions directory exists every time a new session is created,
       this module maintains a cache of session directories it has already created. "reset" wipes
       this cache out, forcing a test for existence of the sessions directory next time a session
       is created. It takes no argument.

       This is particularly useful if you want to remove the sessions directory on the system
       where your app is running, but you want this session engine to continue to work without
       having to restart your application.

DEPENDENCY

       This module depends on YAML.
