yii2-session-timeout-warning

Users are warned about expiring session.

This is simple implementation of session timeout warning. Plugin does not make any ajax calls, otherwise it would not work with many projects. Components like RBAC are using user identity all time and auth session is renewed every request.

This plugin writes and reads cookies.

It supports multiple tabs. Plugin will not work if user is logged out from server side, or sessions are cleared from database.

If user session is expired, page will be reloaded.

Install

Either run

$ php composer.phar require mg-code/yii2-session-timeout-warning "@dev"

or add

"mg-code/yii2-session-timeout-warning": "@dev"

to the require section of your composer.json file.

Usage

1. Register bootstrap class in application config.

          'initMessages' => true,
      ]
