Thanks for all the responses. So, it's just a matter of using standard Catalyst::Plugin:Session, and maybe also Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Store::DBIC and then write some business logic to either use the session_data from the sessions table (anonymous user) or the session_data from the users table (logged in user)? I'd appreciate if you can share more details on the implementations (plugins you use/recommend?)
I'm asking because we used to have an old catalyst app relying on Catalyst-Plugin-Session-PerUser for this, but it's currently broken. It used to work well with the older (deprecated) Authentication::Store::DBIC, but switching to the current Catalyst-Authentication-Store-DBIx-Class breaks it. Anyway, I assume that so far, with the info we have, we will have to rewrite the logic within Catalyst-Plugin-Session-PerUser in our app. Cheers, -- fernan On Thu, Apr 26, 2018 at 11:54 AM, Hector Azpurua <h3ct0r...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Fernan, > > The I did for a small/medium size enterprise it was: > > - Cart data is stored at DB level, so the information can be > replicated among all devices and browsers sessions. > - If an Anonymous user has cart data and then log in, then merge > previous stored cart with the new cart (business rules apply here). > > It wasn't difficult to implement using the already available catalyst > plugins and, if needed, JSON serialization. > > Good luck! > > > 2018-04-26 11:31 GMT-03:00 Fernan Aguero <fernan.agu...@gmail.com>: > >> Hello, >> >> what is the current recommended way of developing a persistent >> shopping-cart-style functionality in a catalyst app? >> >> We would like to be able to support the following: >> i) store session data in the server for logged in users >> ii) keep session data across sessions, and across browsers (e.g. computer >> at home, resume session using computer at work) >> iii) allow users to start working anonymously, then merge session data >> (shopping cart) smartly upon logging in >> >> Thanks for any pointer.
