async def my_app(scope, receive, send):
    """Read session and get the current user data from it or from request query."""
    # The middleware puts a session into scope['session]
    session = scope['session']

    status, headers = 200, []
    if scope['query_string']:
        # Store any information inside the session
        session['user'] = scope['query_string'].decode()
        status, headers = 307, [(b"location", b"/")]

    # Read a stored info from the session
    user = (session.get('user') or 'anonymous').title().encode()

    await send({"type": "http.response.start", "status": status, "headers": headers})
    await send({"type": "http.response.body", "body": b"Hello %s" % user})

app = SessionMiddleware(my_app, session_type='jwt', secret_key="sessions-secret")

# http GET / -> Hello Anonymous
# http GET /?tom -> Hello Tom
# http GET / -> Hello Tom

As ASGI-Tools Internal middleware

from asgi_tools import App
from asgi_sessions import SessionMiddleware

app = App()
app.middleware(SessionMiddleware.setup(session_type='jwt', secret_key='SESSION-SECRET'))

@app.route('/')
async def index(request):
    user = request.session.get('user', 'Anonymous')
    return 'Hello %s' % user.title()

@app.route('/login/{user}')
async def login(request):
    request.session['user'] = request.path_params.get('user', 'Anonymous')
    return 'Done'

@app.route('/logout')
async def logout(request, *args):
    del request.session['user']
    return 'Done'

# http GET / -> Hello Anonymous
# http GET /login/tom -> Done
# http GET / -> Hello Tom
# http GET /logout -> Done
# http GET / -> Hello Anonymous

Options

from asgi_sessions import SessionMiddleware

app = SessionMiddleware(

     # Your ASGI application
     app,

     # Session type (base64|jwt|fernet)
     session_type="base64",

     # Secret Key for the session (required for JWT/Fernet sessions)
     secret_key=None,

     # Cookie name to keep the session (optional)
     cookie_name='session',

     # Cookie max age (in seconds) (optional)
     max_age=14 * 24 * 3600,

     # Cookie samesite (optional)  # Python 3.8+ only
