Architect sessions example

A very simple example project for working with Architect JWE and database-backed sessions in JS or Python

This project comes in JavaScript (Node.js) and Python flavors, see: js/ and py/.

In both cases, the instructions for getting started are the same, as found below!

Getting started

1. cd into js/ or py/
2. Run: npm install; if using Python, also be sure to run pip3 install -r ./requirements.txt
3. Start the Sandbox: npm run start
4. Visit the test app at http://localhost:3333

Things to note

• By default, this app is configured with DynamoDB-backed sessions; the easiest way to test JWE sessions is to comment out the contents of the .env file
• This app is deployable! Ship it to AWS to test it live if you like.
• Handler logic is found in src/http/:
  • get / - contains the basic session setup and web form
  • get /count - is a simple session counter incrementer endpoint
  • get /reset - is a simple session reset endpoint
