=head1 NAME

Plack::Session::State - Basic parameter-based session state

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Plack::Builder;
  use Plack::Middleware::Session;
  use Plack::Session::State;

  my $app = sub {
      return [ 200, [ 'Content-Type' => 'text/plain' ], [ 'Hello Foo' ] ];
  };

  builder {
      enable 'Session',
          state => Plack::Session::State->new;
      $app;
  };

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This will maintain session state by passing the session through
the request params. It does not do this automatically though,
you are responsible for passing the session param.

This should be considered the state "base" class (although
subclassing is not a requirement) and defines the spec for
all B<Plack::Session::State::*> modules. You will only
need to override a couple methods if you do subclass. See
L<Plack::Session::State::Cookie> for an example of this.

=head1 METHODS

=over 4

=item B<new ( %params )>

The C<%params> can include I<session_key> and I<sid_generator>,
however in both cases a default will be provided for you.

=item B<session_key>

This is the name of the session key, it default to 'plack_session'.

=item B<sid_generator>

This is a CODE ref used to generate unique session ids, by default
it will generate a SHA1 using fairly sufficient entropy. If you are
concerned or interested, just read the source.

=head2 Session ID Managment

=over 4

=item B<get_session_id ( $request )>

Given a C<$request> this will first attempt to extract the session,
if the is expired or does not exist, it will then generate a new
session. The C<$request> is expected to be a L<Plack::Request> instance
or an object with an equivalent interface.

=item B<extract ( $request )>

This will attempt to extract the session from a C<$request> by looking
for the C<session_key> in the C<$request> params. It will then check to
see if the session has expired and return the session id if it is not.
The C<$request> is expected to be a L<Plack::Request> instance or an
object with an equivalent interface.

=item B<generate ( $request )>

This will generate a new session id using the C<sid_generator> callback.
The C<$request> argument is not used by this method but is there for
use by subclasses. The C<$request> is expected to be a L<Plack::Request>
instance or an object with an equivalent interface.

=item B<finalize ( $session_id, $response )>

Given a C<$session_id> and a C<$response> this will perform any
finalization nessecary to preserve state. This method is called by
the L<Plack::Session> C<finalize> method. The C<$response> is expected
to be a L<Plack::Response> instance or an object with an equivalent
interface.

=back

=head2 Session Expiration Handling

=over 4

=item B<expire_session_id ( $id )>

This will mark the session for C<$id> as expired. This method is called
by the L<Plack::Session> C<expire> method.

=item B<is_session_expired ( $id )>

This will check to see if the session C<$id> has been marked as
expired.

=item B<check_expired ( $id )>

Given an session C<$id> this will return C<undef> if the session is
expired or return the C<$id> if it is not.
