Svelte Kit Cookie Session

Overview

The Svelte Kit Cookie Session is a backend utility for SvelteKit that allows users to create encrypted “stateless” cookie sessions. This utility enables the creation of sessions that are stored in the browser cookies and provides strong client-side sessions. Unlike express-session, where the session ID is stored in the cookie and used to map data on the server-side, the session data is stored in the seal on the client-side, making it a “stateless” session from the server’s perspective.
