django-dysession
django-dysession is a django extension by using AWS DynamoDB as a session backend
## What is a django-dysession?
Django-dysession is a simple and easy-to-use app which allow Django developers to take DyanmoDB as Session Backend Database.
DynamoDB is Fast, flexible NoSQL database service for single-digit millisecond performance at any scale.
Using DynamoDB for session storage alleviates issues that occur with session handling in a distributed web application by moving sessions off of the local file system and into a shared location. [[1]]
+ Easy to use! All you need is add **2 lines** of Code!
+ Support **TTL(Time to Live) attribute**
Django's default session won't delete expired session data.
By using DynamoDB, we can take advantage of DynamoDB's ttl attrubute to auto delete expired session data.
+ No more effort to maintain and autoscale your session database ( Taking advantage of AWS serverless service! )
+ Provide beautiful, clearful and colorful error log
## Requirements
**django-dysession** use [boto3](https://aws.amazon.com/tw/sdk-for-python/) to interact with AWS DynamoDB.
Boto3 is the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Software Development Kit (SDK) for Python, which allows Python developers to write software that makes use of services like **DynamoDB**.
+ Django >= 3.2
+ boto3 >= 1.26.59
## Installation
Install from PyPI ( or manually download from [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/django-dysession/#files) ):
```bash
pip install -U django-dysession
```
## Getting Started
First of all, add `dysession` into `INSTALLED_APPS` in settings.py.
Change `SESSION_ENGINE` to `dysession.backends.db` in order use our SessionStore.
```python
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
"dysession", # add dysession to installed apps
# 'django.contrib.sessions', # remove this default session
...
]
SESSION_ENGINE = "dysession.backends.db"
```
Second, we need to create a DynamoDB to store session data which's name is `sessions` as default.
Run the commands bellow in cmd.
```bash
python manage.py dysession_init
```
Then, we can enjoy it now!
```python
from django.http import HttpResponse
def mainpage(request):
request.session["is_admin"] = True
request.session["bottle_of_milks"] = 20
request.session["planet_have_been_to"] = ["Earth", "Jupiter", "Saturn"]
return HttpResponse("Ayyy")
```
Enjoy!
## Django Commands
django-dysession offer two commands for developers:
+ dysession_destory: Destory DynamoDB Table ( Will delete whole data of the table )
+ dysession_init: Create DyanmoDB Table
```bash
python manage.py --help
Type 'manage.py help ' for help on a specific subcommand.
Available subcommands:
[dysession]
dysession_destory
dysession_init
```
## Settings
This section outlines all the settings and configurations that you can put in Django's settings.py to adjust `dysession`'s behavior.
You can overwrite any value in `DYSESSION` or just ignore it to use the default value!
```python
DYSESSION = {
"DYNAMODB_TABLENAME": "sessions",
"PARTITION_KEY_NAME": "PK",
"SORT_KEY_NAME": "SK",
"TTL_ATTRIBUTE_NAME": "ttl",
"CACHE_PERIOD": 3600,
"DYNAMODB_REGION": "ap-northeast-1",
"LOGGING": {
"TYPE": "CONSOLE",
},
}
```
| Argument | Default | Description |
|----------------------|----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| DYNAMODB_TABLENAME | sessions | DynamoDB table name |
| PARTITION_KEY_NAME | PK | Partition key name |
| TTL_ATTRIBUTE_NAME | ttl | Time to live attribute name |
| CACHE_PERIOD | 3600 | Define how long should be the cache live in DynamoDB's table |
| DYNAMODB_REGION | ap-northeast-1 | The region of the DynamoDB table |
| LOGGING | Dict | Configuration of Logging |
| LOGGING["TYPE"] | CONSOLE | Only accept two kinds of parameters: `CONSOLE`, `FILE`. If this set to `CONSOLE`, django-dysession will use `StreamHandler` to stream to the console. If this set to `FILE`, django-dysession will use `FileHandler` to stream to `LOGGING["FILE_PATH"]`. |
| LOGGING["FILE_PATH"] | session.log | Optional. Only use this configuration when LOGGING["TYPE"] is set to `FILE`. The file path to save logs of session managements. |
## Logging
Django-Dysession support three kinds of logging.
1. Colorful TTY-based Console Log
Support colorful and beautiful log when django-dysession interacting with AWS Dysession.
2. Default logging stream
Django-Dysession use python core library `logging.StreamHandler`
3. Default File Stream
Django-Dysession use python core library `logging.FileHandler`
