It provides an abstract architecture for session backends (how sessions are stored) and frontends (how session IDs are extracted from requests), allowing you to mix and match implementations. The package ships with an in-memory backend and a signed-cookie frontend, and supports Pydantic models for session data validation.\n\nThe library is designed to integrate cleanly with FastAPI's auto-generated documentation and dependency injection system. However, the project has been archived since July 2023 and is no longer maintained, meaning no updates, security patches, or support for newer FastAPI or Python versions are forthcoming.","worth_installing":"No. The project is archived and abandoned since July 2023 with no maintenance or security updates. For new FastAPI projects, use actively maintained alternatives. For existing projects already using it, evaluate whether you can migrate to a maintained session library or implement session handling directly, as the lack of ongoing support poses a long-term risk."},"id":"fastapi-sessions","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/fastapi-sessions","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/fastapi-sessions.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/fastapi-sessions/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2021-09-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"fastapi-sessions","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Ready-to-use session library for FastAPI"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":75112,"position":14750,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.3.2"}
