Laravel Redis Session Enhanced Driver

Total Downloads Latest Stable Version License Status

The Laravel's Database Session Driver manages sessions in the Database which associates following attributes (along with the payload) with every session update: user_id, ip_address, user_agent, and last_activty. These attributes can be accessed and modified to provide following capabilities to your customers

But with the Database driver, every request to your application will do a Database update to sessions table to track the latest session information, specifically, the last_activty attribute. This database update is required to validate unauthenticated requests if the session becomes inactive for the configured SESSION_LIFETIME. These session updates on every requests are fast and should not have much performance impact on your request time. But, if you ARE facing performance issues and want to store the session in the redis cache, you can go the Laravel's Redis Session Driver. The redis driver will store and validate the session automatically but you will loose the above mentioned capabilities for your customers (tracking, logouts etc.).

If you want to have similar capabilities as the Database Session driver but want to use Redis for session storage, this project is for you.

This package also includes a helper to work with sessions.

SessionHelper

To retrieve the stored session data from the cache, you should use the Craftsys\LaravelRedisSessionEnhanced\SessionHelper class. This helper class also handles the SESSION_DRIVER=database driver so that you can easily switch between database and redis drivers as per your application needs, without changing the application code for sessions.
