Rails: how to save a large array in a session? (ActionDispatch :: Cookies :: CookieOverflow)

Question

Im trying to save an array in a session that is much larger than 4k.

In this case, the following occurs: ActionDispatch :: Cookies :: CookieOverflow Error.

Does anyone have a clue how to save a large array in a session? Saving it to db is not what I want.

Thanks Marcus

You need to change your session_store and not use cookie_store. You can use the active_record_store example.
