Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I've a web app protected by a login system. Clients log in, and I keep their status / identity in a session cookie.
Today the maxAge is set to 30 days by default, allowing the user to update CookieStore with MaxAge method.
This means users will have to re-login a system after 30 days, even if they browse the site daily.
Describe the solution that you would like.
Add a "automatic cookie renewal" functionality to allow the library renew cookies that are about to expire.
For example, a cookie is created with max age of 30 days. If the server sees a cookie that is about to expire in ~3-4 days, it renews itself by simply copying the session data to a new cookie with an updated maxAge of 30 days.
In scenarios where a user is not active for 30 days, and the cookie expires, they will need to re-login the system.
Describe alternatives you have considered.
Implementing this login in a middleware, but it is easier to do in the store itself.
