Class yii\redis\Session

Redis Session implements a session component using redis as the storage medium.

Redis Session requires redis version 2.6.12 or higher to work properly.

It needs to be configured with a redis yii\redis\Connection that is also configured as an application component. By default it will use the redis application component.

To use redis Session as the session application component, configure the application as follows,

[
    'components' => [
        'session' => [
            'class' => 'yii\redis\Session',
            'redis' => [
                'hostname' => 'localhost',
                'port' => 6379,
                'database' => 0,
            ]
        ],
    ],
]

Or if you have configured the redis yii\redis\Connection as an application component, the following is sufficient:

[
    'components' => [
        'session' => [
            'class' => 'yii\redis\Session',
            // 'redis' => 'redis' // id of the connection application component
        ],
    ],
]
