Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Store::DOD

If you're looking for a way to store your sessions in a database using Data::ObjectDriver, Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Store::DOD is a great Perl module to consider. To get started, you'll need to create a table in your database for sessions, which can be done with the following code:

CREATE TABLE sessions (
id char(72) primary key,
session_data text,
expires int(10)
);

You'll also need to create a Data::ObjectDriver model. Here's an example:

package BaseObject::M::Session;
use base qw( Data::ObjectDriver::BaseObject );
use Data::ObjectDriver::Driver::DBI;
__PACKAGE__->install_properties({
columns => [ 'id', 'session_data', 'expires' ],
primary_key => [ 'id' ],
datasource => 'sessions',
get_driver => sub {
Data::ObjectDriver::Driver::DBI->new(
dsn => "dbi:SQLite:session.db",
),
},
});

Once you've set up your table and model, you can connect to the database in your app using Catalyst and use the DOD storage module for your sessions. Here's how to do it:

use Catalyst qw/Session Session::Store::DOD Session::State::Cookie/;
MyApp->config->{session} = {
expires => 3600,
model => "BaseObject::M::Session",
};

To save a session in an action, simply use the following code:

$c->session->{foo} = 'bar';

Overall, Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Store::DOD is a reliable and efficient tool for storing sessions in a database using Data::ObjectDriver. If you're looking for a secure and convenient way to manage sessions in your Perl-based applications, give it a try.
