Session extends yii\web\Session by using MongoDB as session data storage.

By default, Session stores session data in a collection named 'session' inside the default database. This collection is better to be pre-created with fields 'id' and 'expire' indexed. The collection name can be changed by setting $sessionCollection.

The following example shows how you can configure the application to use Session: Add the following to your application config under components:

'session' => [
    'class' => 'yii\mongodb\Session',
    // 'db' => 'mymongodb',
    // 'sessionCollection' => 'my_session',
]

Session extends yii\web\MultiFieldSession, thus it allows saving extra fields into the $sessionCollection. Refer to yii\web\MultiFieldSession for more details.

Tip: you can use MongoDB TTL index for the session garbage collection for performance saving, in this case you should set yii\mongodb\Session::$gCProbability to 0.

Property Details

$db public property

The MongoDB connection object or the application component ID of the MongoDB connection. After the Session object is created, if you want to change this property, you should only assign it with a MongoDB connection object. Starting from version 2.0.2, this can also be a configuration array for creating the object.

$fields protected property (available since version 2.1.8)

Session fields to be written into session table columns

protected array $fields = []
$sessionCollection public property

The name of the MongoDB collection that stores the session data. Please refer to yii\mongodb\Connection::getCollection() on how to specify this parameter. This collection is better to be pre-created with fields 'id' and 'expire' indexed.
