Adding cookie session store back to Rails API app

Question

I have a Rails-API app. More or less \"out of the box\" but I want to add back cookie-based session store. Here is what I\'ve done:

app/controllers/application_contr

This line is ignored because you are not using the full Rails stack:

::Rails.application.config.session_store :cookie_store,
  :key => '_namespace_key'

So instead, your session is using the default session key set here. However, you can pass these arguments directly by replacing:

config.middleware.insert_after 
  ActionDispatch::Cookies, ActionDispatch::Session::CookieStore

with:

config.middleware.insert_after
  ActionDispatch::Cookies, ActionDispatch::Session::CookieStore,
  :key => '_namespace_key'

Here's a full list of options you can pass (with a rough idea of their defaults, since some may be overridden by modules in Rails).
