Pull request overview
Note
Copilot was unable to run its full agentic suite in this review.
Adds documentation explaining session option defaults and demonstrates how to use multiple independent sessions in the same request.
Changes:
- Clarifies that all session options are optional except
password, and explains thenameoption’s impact on cookie/header naming. - Adds an example showing two independent sessions (
authandflash) coexisting without overwriting each other. - Adds a note warning that sessions sharing a
nameshare the same cookie and will overwrite.
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.

| Every option is optional except `password`. The `name` option is worth calling out: it sets the cookie (and the `x-{name}-session` header) used to store the session, and defaults to `h3`. That default is why the earlier examples set a cookie named `h3`. |

Fixed in 1924aa6. That line now reads x-<name>-session and ties it to the concrete x-h3-session header the earlier examples produce, so it can no longer be misread as a literal header name.

Addressed in 7567774. Every example on this page deliberately shares one literal password so the snippets stay copy-paste consistent, so instead of swapping just these two lines (which would leave them out of step with the five identical literals above), I expanded the password > [!WARNING] at the top of the page. It now says the hardcoded value is only for readability and that a real app should load it from process.env.SESSION_PASSWORD, keep it a strong secret of at least 32 characters, and never commit it. That covers the copy-paste-to-production risk for every example at once.

Pushed a small fix for the header placeholder point: it now reads On the password comments: I kept the literal password value on purpose to stay consistent with the rest of this page. Every existing example here (Initialize, Get Data, Add Data, Clear, Options) uses the same |
Closes #969.
The session example already uses the
nameoption (name: "my-session") but never explains what it does, and the ability to run multiple independent sessions isn't documented anywhere. #969 asks for exactly this.This adds two things to
