## Usage

### Start using it

Download and install it:

```bash
go get github.com/gin-contrib/sessions
```

Import it in your code:

```go
import "github.com/gin-contrib/sessions"
```

## Basic Examples

### single session

```go
package main

import (
  "github.com/gin-contrib/sessions"
  "github.com/gin-contrib/sessions/cookie"
  "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
)

func main() {
  r := gin.Default()
  store := cookie.NewStore([]byte("secret"))
  r.Use(sessions.Sessions("mysession", store))

r.GET("/hello", func(c *gin.Context) {
    session := sessions.Default(c)

if session.Get("hello") != "world" {
      session.Set("hello", "world")
      session.Save()
    }

c.JSON(200, gin.H{"hello": session.Get("hello")})
  })
  r.Run(":8000")
}
```

### multiple sessions

```go
package main

import (
  "github.com/gin-contrib/sessions"
  "github.com/gin-contrib/sessions/cookie"
  "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
)

func main() {
  r := gin.Default()
  store := cookie.NewStore([]byte("secret"))
  sessionNames := []string{"a", "b"}
  r.Use(sessions.SessionsMany(sessionNames, store))

r.GET("/hello", func(c *gin.Context) {
    sessionA := sessions.DefaultMany(c, "a")
    sessionB := sessions.DefaultMany(c, "b")

if sessionA.Get("hello") != "world!" {
      sessionA.Set("hello", "world!")
      sessionA.Save()
    }

if sessionB.Get("hello") != "world?" {
      sessionB.Set("hello", "world?")
      sessionB.Save()
    }

c.JSON(200, gin.H{
      "a": sessionA.Get("hello"),
      "b": sessionB.Get("hello"),
    })
  })
  r.Run(":8000")
}
```

### multiple sessions with different stores

```go
package main

import (
  "github.com/gin-contrib/sessions"
  "github.com/gin-contrib/sessions/cookie"
  "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
)

func main() {
  r := gin.Default()
  cookieStore := cookie.NewStore([]byte("secret"))
  redisStore, _ := redis.NewStore(10, "tcp", "localhost:6379", "", []byte("secret"))
  sessionStores := []sessions.SessionStore{
    {
      Name:  "a",
      Store: cookieStore,
    },
    {
      Name:  "b",
      Store: redisStore,
    },
  }
  r.Use(sessions.SessionsManyStores(sessionStores))

r.GET("/hello", func(c *gin.Context) {
    sessionA := sessions.DefaultMany(c, "a")
    sessionB := sessions.DefaultMany(c, "b")

if sessionA.Get("hello") != "world!" {
      sessionA.Set("hello", "world!")
      sessionA.Save()
    }

if sessionB.Get("hello") != "world?" {
      sessionB.Set("hello", "world?")
      sessionB.Save()
    }

c.JSON(200, gin.H{
      "a": sessionA.Get("hello"),
      "b": sessionB.Get("hello"),
    })
  })
  r.Run(":8000")
}
```

    var count int
    v := session.Get("count")
    if v == nil {
      count = 0
    } else {
      count = v.(int)
      count++
    }
