flask session lifetime code example

Example 1: flask session auto logout in 5 mins

from datetime import timedelta
 app = Flask(__name__)
 app.config['SECRET_KEY'] = 'xxxxxxxxx'
 app.config['PERMANENT_SESSION_LIFETIME'] =  timedelta(minutes=5)
The session will created for each client, seperated from other clients. So, I think the best place to set session.permanent is when you login():

@app.route('/login', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def login():
    #After Verify the validity of username and password
    session.permanent = True

Example 2: flask session

from flask import Flask, session
from flask.ext.session import Session

app = Flask(__name__)
# Check Configuration section for more details
SESSION_TYPE = 'redis'
app.config.from_object(__name__)
Session(app)

@app.route('/set/')
def set():
    session['key'] = 'value'
    return 'ok'

@app.route('/get/')
def get():
    return session.get('key', 'not set')
