How to use cookie and session in Tower.js

Is there some simple example how to use cookies or sessions in Tower.js? I read about Connect Middleware, but I have no experience with it (and unfortunately with Node.js also).

If examples are not available I will be grateful for any tips too.

Cookies

From the TowerJS source code here, the controller has these properties:

• @request
• @response
• @cookies (which is just a shortcut for @request.cookies)
• @session (which is just a shortcut for @request.session)

Hence to set cookies you can follow express documentation here

For example this set cookie 'rememberme'

# "Remember me" for 15 minutes 
@response.cookie 'rememberme', 'yes', 
  expires: new Date(Date.now() + 900000)
  httpOnly: true

And to get the cookie

@request.cookies.rememberme

Session

As for session, looks like it's just connect in memory session. See source code here https://github.com/viatropos/tower/blob/master/src/tower/server/application.coffee#L39

So you can just use it like:

@request.session.something = 'something'

or

@session.something = 'something'

Ok hope that helps...
