flask内置session原理

内置session原理

请求到来

当请求进来之后，先执行Flask对象的 __call__ 方法

def wsgi_app(self, environ, start_response):
        # 获取请求相关数据，并进行封装和加工
        ctx = self.request_context(environ)
        # 将请求消息推送到堆栈中，并执行 open_session方法
        ctx.push()
        error = None
        try:
            try:
                response = self.full_dispatch_request()
            except Exception as e:
                error = e
                response = self.make_response(self.handle_exception(e))
            return response(environ, start_response)
        finally:
            if self.should_ignore_error(error):
                error = None
            ctx.auto_pop(error)

    def __call__(self, environ, start_response):
        """Shortcut for :attr:`wsgi_app`."""
        return self.wsgi_app(environ, start_response)

 def push(self):
        top = _request_ctx_stack.top
        if top is not None and top.preserved:
            top.pop(top._preserved_exc)

        # Before we push the request context we have to ensure that there
        # is an application context.
        app_ctx = _app_ctx_stack.top
        if app_ctx is None or app_ctx.app != self.app:
            app_ctx = self.app.app_context()
            app_ctx.push()
            self._implicit_app_ctx_stack.append(app_ctx)
        else:
            self._implicit_app_ctx_stack.append(None)

        if hasattr(sys, 'exc_clear'):
            sys.exc_clear()

        _request_ctx_stack.push(self)

        # 调用Flask对象的open_session方法
        self.session = self.app.open_session(self.request)
        if self.session is None:
            self.session = self.app.make_null_session()

 def open_session(self, request):
        """Creates or opens a new session.  Default implementation stores all

        """
        # self指的是Flask对象，session_interface默认值为SecureCookieSessionInterface()
        return self.session_interface.open_session(self, request)

由以上源码发现，当接收到用户请求之后，会调用 Flask对象的 session_interface对象的open_session方法，以此来获取一个session对象。

上述中 self.session_class 就是创建的一个SecureCookieSession对象，这个类是继承了字典的类，其实就是一个特殊的字典。

            self.modified = True
        CallbackDict.__init__(self, initial, on_update)
        self.modified = False

该字典其实就是继承了字典，并在其基础上定制了一些功能，如

class MyDict(dict):
    def __init__(self, initial):
        dict.__init__(self, initial)


session = MyDict({'k1': 123})

print(session, type(session)) # {'k1': 123} <class '__main__.MyDict'>


session['k2'] = 'v2'
print(session)

所以，Flask的视图函数中在对session进行操作时，其实就是在内存中修改一个字典的数据。

业务处理

设置session

响应内容

响应内容其实就讲数据返回给用户，并且把内容中的session重新保存
