# go-session-redis Simple HTTP session management ## Example middleware ```go func SessionAuthenticator(manager *session.Manager, next http.Handler) http.Handler { return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) { s, err := manager.GetSession(w, r) if errors.Is(err, session.ErrSessionNotFound) { http.Error(w, "Not authenticated", http.StatusUnauthorized) return } if err != nil { http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusBadGateway) return } userID, ok := s.Get("user_id").(string) if !ok || userID == "" { http.Error(w, "Not authenticated", http.StatusUnauthorized) return } // GetSession refreshes the TTL. next.ServeHTTP(w, r) }) } ``` ## Creating a session ```go func CreateAuthenticatedSession(manager *session.Manager, w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, userID string) error { s, err := manager.CreateSession(w, r) if err != nil { return err } return s.Set("user_id", userID) } ```
