CacheSession implements a session component using cache as storage medium.

The cache being used can be any cache application component. The ID of the cache application component is specified via $cache, which defaults to 'cache'.

Beware, by definition cache storage are volatile, which means the data stored on them may be swapped out and get lost. Therefore, you must make sure the cache used by this component is NOT volatile. If you want to use database as storage medium, yii\web\DbSession is a better choice.

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

'session' => [
    'class' => 'yii\web\CacheSession',
    // 'cache' => 'mycache',
]

Property Details

$cache public property

The cache object or the application component ID of the cache object. The session data will be stored using this cache object.

After the CacheSession object is created, if you want to change this property, you should only assign it with a cache object.

Starting from version 2.0.2, this can also be a configuration array for creating the object.

$useCustomStorage public read-only property

Whether to use custom storage.
