javascript - Easiest way of making rails sessions persist between browser restarts -

what easiest way of implementing cookies such session persists between browser restarts?

the best thing use what's called remember me cookie. since session cookie not persist between browser restarts, need use other kind of cookie indicates application user are. commonly remember me functionality implemented having user select application remember them. happens need create cookie act password user. typically want following:

• select attribute related user user not able access or view. example, time account created, or randomly generated string store them.
• hash attribute cookie value not recognizable.

here example:

identifier = current_user.id value = digest::sha1.hexdigest(current_user.created_at)[6,10]  cookies['remember_me_id'] = {:value => identifier, :expires => 30.days.from_now} cookies['remember_me_key'] = {:value => value, :expires => 30.days.from_now} 

finally, when checking if user logged in, you'll need check if logged in using remember cookie well. example:

def current_user   current_user ||= login_from_session || login_from_cookie end  def login_from_session   current_user = user.find(session[:id]) unless session[:id].nil? end  def login_from_cookie   user = user.find(cookies['remember_me_id'])   if cookies['remember_me_key'] == digest::sha1.hexdigest(user.created_at)[6,10]     current_user = user   else     nil   end end 

this should started on way implementing cookies persist outside of browser restart.
