Most of the other arguments passed into
response.set_cookie()inSecureCookieSessionInterface.save_session()use the overridable methods ofSessionInterfaceto fill in each argument. Except for the cookie name, which is statically set toapp.session_cookie_name.Sometimes a cookie name needs to be set dynamically based on the current request, for example, a cookie name that is dependent on the current subpath in the URL. At the moment, the best way of doing this is to override the
save_session()method ofSecureCookieSessionInterfaceand make it dynamically pass in the cookie name toresponse.set_cookie().To avoid having to override the whole of
save_session(), this pull request adds in an overridableget_cookie_name()method onSessionInterfaceto match the otherget_xxx()methods of that class.Note: I originally posted a question about this in Stackoverflow ("Something like get_cookie_name in Flask's SessionInterface?") and also asked the question (using the Stackoverflow link) in the Flask Discord chat. I was not satisfied with the response I got, so I've opened up this pull request.
