Store values in the web session for cross-page persistence
Last updated: · Published:
The set_session tag allows you to store values in the web session. This enables a website to 'remember' values across multiple pages and requests. This can be used, for example, to assemble a list of products and then submit these via one form.
Variables set using this tag can be retrieved using the session object.
Parameters
The tag accepts two (unnamed) arguments:
The variable name
- A string containing only alphanumeric characters and underscores
The variable value
- A string or number, at most 5000 characters long
- Note: Numbers are converted to strings when stored
Example
The following code sets the session variable 'first_name' to have the value 'Plate':
{% set_session "first_name", "Plate" %}
After this, {{ session.first_name }} will output Plate.
