class ActionDispatch::Session::CacheStore

Action Dispatch Session CacheStore

A session store that uses an ActiveSupport::Cache::Store to store the sessions. This store is most useful if you don’t store critical data in your sessions and you don’t need them to live for extended periods of time.

Options

  • cache - The cache to use. If it is not specified, Rails.cache will be used.

  • expire_after - The length of time a session will be stored before automatically expiring. By default, the :expires_in option of the cache is used.

  • check_collisions - Check if newly generated session ids aren’t already in use. If for some reason 128 bits of randomness aren’t considered secure enough to avoid collisions, this option can be enabled to ensure newly generated ids aren’t in use. By default, it is set to false to avoid additional cache write operations.
