[Feature Request] SessionServiceProvider for database

[masterbater]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Install laravel breeze react example, setup SESSION_DRIVER=database, the first error is duplicate key for id, deleting unique index solve this but in any post request, it will always cause 419 | PAGE EXPIRED

Temp solution just using any driver like file. I would like guidance on how to make Session driver database work for mongodb thanks

The package jenssegers/laravel-mongodb-session could be updated and merged into this package. Tracking this feature request in PHPORM-201

Thanks @GromNaN for tracking this hope you have more energy to maintain this library hehe.
🙇🏻‍♂️🙏🏻

You should be able to use Laravel's database storage with a MongoDB connection using. But that doesn't work 😞 because we overload Query\Builder::find($id) to look for _id field instead of id used by the DatabaseSessionHandler. I'll try to make the "id" field configurable in Laravel. Otherwise we will have to populate _id with the value of id (which would be better). May be related to #2489

Using the database driver and connection:

SESSION_DRIVER=database
SESSION_CONNECTION=mongodb

---

Also, you can use Symfony's MongoDbSessionHandler by following Laravel's documentation. This is a very optimized session handler, but I'm not sure every Laravel features are supported since it doesn't store this fields: user_id, ip_address, user_agent, and last_activity.

namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Session;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
use MongoDB\Laravel\Connection;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Session\Storage\Handler\MongoDbSessionHandler;

class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    public function boot(): void
    {
        Session::extend('mongodb', function ($app) {
            /** @var Connection $connection */
            $connection = $app->get('db')->connection('mongodb');

            return new MongoDbSessionHandler(
                $connection->getMongoClient(),
                [
                    'database' => $connection->getDatabaseName(),
                    'collection' => 'sessions',
                ],
            );
        });
    }
}

And choose the driver SESSION_DRIVER=mongodb

As always thanks @GromNaN, you even give me suggestions.

Will this fix in minor version or in v5?
#3041

[GromNaN]

It'll be fixed it in a major version, which we hope to release at the end of August.

I know you dont have beta release, Is there anyway I could test the v5 before release?

[GromNaN]

You can try my branch by using my repository on your composer.json

{
    "repositories": [
        { "type": "vcs", "url": "https://github.com/GromNaN/laravel-mongodb-fork" }
    ],
    "require": {
        "mongodb/laravel-mongodb": "dev-_id"
    }

Ultimately, the work will be done on the branch 5.0 of this repository, with more granular PRs.

@GromNaN gentle ping, is the v5 still be release at the end of august? id, automated date casting and stdClass in query builder seems could be a great starter

It would be great if we can get an estimated date for the release!
