Session middleware for maintaining session state across requests.

---

Swarmauri Middleware Session

Session middleware for FastAPI and Starlette style applications that keeps a lightweight, in-memory session store synchronized with every request and response.

Overview

• Accepts an incoming session identifier from the X-Session-ID request header (customisable through session_header).
• Falls back to generating a new UUID session identifier and persists it on the response when none is supplied.
• Stores per-session data in session_storage, allowing subsequent requests to reuse state keyed by the same identifier.
• Writes the active session id to request.state.session_id and mirrors it in the session_id response cookie (customisable through session_cookie).
• Uses a configurable max_age to control the lifetime of the emitted cookie.

Installation

Poetry

poetry add swarmauri_middleware_session

uv

uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate
uv pip install swarmauri_middleware_session

Example

from fastapi import FastAPI, Request
from fastapi.responses import JSONResponse
from fastapi.testclient import TestClient

from swarmauri_middleware_session import SessionMiddleware


app = FastAPI()
session_middleware = SessionMiddleware()


@app.middleware("http")
async def attach_session(request: Request, call_next):
    return await session_middleware.dispatch(request, call_next)


@app.get("/greet")
async def greet(request: Request):
    session_id = request.state.session_id
    session_data = session_middleware.session_storage.setdefault(session_id, {})
    session_data["visits"] = session_data.get("visits", 0) + 1
    return JSONResponse({"session_id": session_id, "visits": session_data["visits"]})


client = TestClient(app)

first_response = client.get("/greet")
first_data = first_response.json()

second_response = client.get(
    "/greet", headers={"X-Session-ID": first_response.headers["X-Session-ID"]}
)
second_data = second_response.json()

print(first_data)
print(second_data)

Running the example prints the initial visit count followed by an incremented visit count for the same session, demonstrating how the middleware keeps track of state across requests.
