Accessing Session object inside an Asp Core 2 View

Question

I want to show Session in view. Is that possible? I try with this in my view

   
Welcome, @HttpContext.S         


        
      

Answer 1

You can inject IHttpContextAccessor implementation to your view and use it to get the Session object

@using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http
@inject IHttpContextAccessor HttpContextAccessor
@HttpContextAccessor.HttpContext.Session.GetString("userLoggedName")

Assuming you already have everything setup for enabling session in the Startup class.

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services.AddSession(s => s.IdleTimeout = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(30));
    services.AddMvc();
}
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env)
{
    app.UseSession();  // This line is needed

    app.UseMvc(routes =>
    {
        routes.MapRoute(
            name: "default",
            template: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");

    });
}
