We're ignoring the error resulted from decoding an + // existing session: Get() always returns a session, even if empty. + session, _ := store.Get(r, "session-name") + // Set some session values. + session.Values["foo"] = "bar" + session.Values[42] = 43 + // Save it before we write to the response/return from the handler. + session.Save(r, w) + } +``` + +First we initialize a session store calling `NewCookieStore()` and passing a +secret key used to authenticate the session. Inside the handler, we call +`store.Get()` to retrieve an existing session or a new one. Then we set some +session values in session.Values, which is a `map[interface{}]interface{}`. +And finally we call `session.Save()` to save the session in the response. + +Important Note: If you aren't using gorilla/mux, you need to wrap your handlers +with +[`context.ClearHandler`](http://www.gorillatoolkit.org/pkg/context#ClearHandler) +as or else you will leak memory! An easy way to do this is to wrap the top-level +mux when calling http.ListenAndServe: + +More examples are available [on the Gorilla +website](http://www.gorillatoolkit.org/pkg/sessions). + +## Store Implementations + +Other implementations of the `sessions.Store` interface: + +* [github.com/starJammer/gorilla-sessions-arangodb](https://github.com/starJammer/gorilla-sessions-arangodb) - ArangoDB +* [github.com/yosssi/boltstore](https://github.com/yosssi/boltstore) - Bolt +* [github.com/srinathgs/couchbasestore](https://github.com/srinathgs/couchbasestore) - Couchbase +* [github.com/denizeren/dynamostore](https://github.com/denizeren/dynamostore) - Dynamodb on AWS +* [github.com/bradleypeabody/gorilla-sessions-memcache](https://github.com/bradleypeabody/gorilla-sessions-memcache) - Memcache +* [github.com/hnakamur/gaesessions](https://github.com/hnakamur/gaesessions) - Memcache on GAE +* [github.com/kidstuff/mongostore](https://github.com/kidstuff/mongostore) - MongoDB +* [github.com/srinathgs/mysqlstore](https://github.com/srinathgs/mysqlstore) - MySQL +* [github.com/antonlindstrom/pgstore](https://github.com/antonlindstrom/pgstore) - PostgreSQL +* [github.com/boj/redistore](https://github.com/boj/redistore) - Redis +* [github.com/boj/rethinkstore](https://github.com/boj/rethinkstore) - RethinkDB +* [github.com/boj/riakstore](https://github.com/boj/riakstore) - Riak +* [github.com/michaeljs1990/sqlitestore](https://github.com/michaeljs1990/sqlitestore) - SQLite +* [github.com/wader/gormstore](https://github.com/wader/gormstore) - GORM (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite) + +## License + +BSD licensed.
