Class yii\mongodb\Session

Inheritanceyii\mongodb\Session » yii\web\MultiFieldSession
Available since version2.0

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.
