rails-session_jsonizer is a simple library for Rails 3 and 4 to serialize session into JSON in the same format.

Work in progress

Requirement

• Rails 3.1 or later

Usage

In controller

session[:foo] = 'bar'
flash[:alert] = 'something went wrong'

Serialize

require 'session_jsonizer'

# dump
serializer = SessionJsonizer.new

json = serializer.dump(session)

json # => '{"foo":"bar", "flash":{"alert":"something went wrong"}, ...}'

# load
session = serializer.load(json)

Example: Store session into memcached as JSON using dalli

# config/initializers/session_store.rb

require 'action_dispatch/middleware/session/dalli_store'
Rails.application.config.session_store :dalli_store, serializer: SessionJsonizer.new, ...
