Usage

SessionNormalizerMiddleware provides a drop-in replacement for the standard fasthtml session middleware class. This session middleware class aggressively converts session stored data to a format that can be serialized.

Simple example:

from fasthtml_sessionnormalizer.middleware import SessionNormalizerMiddleware
from fasthtml import FastHTML


app = FastHTML(sess_cls=SessionNormalizerMiddleware)

@app.get("/")
def default(session, item_id: UUID):
    session["item_id"] = item_id

The above endpoint will successfully store a UUID object in the session, converting it to a string before returning it to the user. Note: objects that only provide a __str__ method that matches that of the default object class as the sole mechanism of conversion will not be serialized, as the assumption is that the default string representation of an object provides no meaningful semantic data to be persisted in a user session. Other mechanisms of conversion that the middleware will try to use include custom __str__ methods, __dict__ attributes, __json__ attributes, and other common mechanisms that allow for an object to be represented in such a way as to be serialized.
