[-]Store session creation date in sessions[/-][+]Store session creation date in session backends[/+]on Jul 28, 2020 This view can be recreated by running this branch http-rs/tide#664 and introspecting the database through MongoDB Compass.
Is there a production use case for this or is it just for development/debugging? If the latter, would this be sufficient:
use chrono::{DateTime, Utc}; app.with(Before(|mut request: Request<_>| async move { let session = request.session_mut(); if session.get_raw("created").is_none() { session.insert("created", Utc::now()).unwrap(); } request }));
Then it would be available within the serialized json data
Alternatively, there's no reason a session store couldn't add additional data to the record

Yeah that's what I was thinking -- for example MongoDB has a native DateTime object that can be used for serialization. For the default backends we expose it'd probably be useful to track creation time + time of last update. I don't believe MongoDB tracks this itself (it does serialize the creation date in the ID, but it can't be queried for afaict), so making that data available would be be useful.
I was debugging mongo and couldn't find the creation date in the session store. We should probably track this for all sessions; even if not tracked by UTC it does help with debugging. Perhaps the individual backends provide primitives for this as well that we can use.

I was trying to find from this screenshot which sessions were created today. It doesn't say, heh.
