How do I use session extensions in Flask?

To use session extensions in Flask, you can install the Flask-Session extension. It allows you to store session data on the server side.

What are the benefits of using Flask-Session?

Flask-Session provides several benefits, including better security for session data, the ability to store larger amounts of data, and support for different backends like Redis or MongoDB.

Can you show me a basic example of setting it up?

Sure! First, install Flask-Session using pip. Then, configure it in your Flask app like this:

from flask import Flask
from flask_session import Session

app = Flask(__name__)
app.config['SESSION_TYPE'] = 'filesystem'
Session(app)
