I’m currently using SESSION_COOKIE_AGE = 60*60 to expire a Django session in 1 hour. I need to give a message to the user saying their session has expired on the login page.
Is there a way to test if the session has been expired? Or is there a message api for expired sessions in Django?
I poked around and didn’t see anything for setting an expired session message.
Thanks!
The warning typically provided to a user is an invitation to login :-).
What you could do is check SESSION_COOKIE_AGE (which provides the age of the cookie in seconds) and, if the user’s session is about to expire, provide a warning to that effect.
