Play Framework - Getting Session Data in Views

How can I get session data in views in Play Framework 2.3.x?

I used to use session.get("sessionName") but now I get not found: value session when I try to use that.

Solution

  • You ought to pass all mandatory variables to a view. In order to get access to the session you should declare it as parameter of your template.

    @(title:String)(implicit session: Session)

<html>
    <head>
        <title>@title</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        @session.get("sessionname")
    </body>
</html>

    Using implicit will allow you to avoid passing the session explicitly from a controller.

    def index = Action { implicit req =>
  Ok(views.html.index("Page Title"))
}
