Configure gin-gonic session using Redis in Golang

Question

I am using gin-gonic in Go and using Redis session feature provided in github.com/gin-gonic/contrib/sessions package

store, _ := sessions.NewRedisStore(10, "tcp", "localhost:6379", "", []byte("secret"))
router.Use(sessions.Sessions("workino_session", store))

How do I control how long these Sessions are stored in Redis?

Thank you.

Although the README is light on documentation, the GoDoc docs are a little more clear about this.

Note that the gin-gonic sessions package uses gorilla/sessions underneath and shares the same options API.

// We check for errors.
store, err := sessions.NewRedisStore(10, "tcp", "localhost:6379", "", []byte("secret"))
if err != nil {
    // Handle the error. Probably bail out if we can't connect.
}

// Ref: https://godoc.org/github.com/gin-gonic/contrib/sessions#Options
store.Options = &sessions.Options{
    MaxAge: 86400,
    Path: "/",
    Secure: true,
    HttpOnly: true,
}

// Use the store once configured.
router.Use(sessions.Sessions("workino_session", store))
