    Is there a buil-in functionality in Umbraco to save session state?

    HI Say I watend to create a webshop and I would like to hold the users session and items he or she has put into some sort of a basket, how would you go about doing so in Umbraco? I guess you could use Umbraco Content Service to create a temporary document that hold important information, or you could use regular session cookies or maybe local storage?

    Any thoughts on this?

    Thanks Klaus

    Hi Klaus

    Session means that it lives for some short period of time, so I think cookies or localStorage should work.

    Create a node and save data there - it looks like not session way. It's more long live.

    Thanks, Alex

    Hi Alex, Thanks for your response. In the case the user puts items in the basket then closes the page and then later returns to continue shopping - how would you go about this scenario?

    Thanks

    Hi Klaus

    I would probably store all data on the client's browser, but it depends on how it was built.

    Are you using some fancy js library for client-side logic?

    I would use a serverside session if it were an old web-forms :)

    Thanks,

    Alex
