# Session Persistence and Resumption
|
|
|
|
Save and restore conversation sessions across application restarts.
|
|
|
|
## Example scenario
|
|
|
|
You want users to be able to continue a conversation even after closing and reopening your application.
|
|
|
|
> **Runnable example:** [recipe/persisting-sessions.cs](recipe/persisting-sessions.cs)
|
|
>
|
|
> ```bash
|
|
> cd recipe
|
|
> dotnet run persisting-sessions.cs
|
|
> ```
|
|
|
|
### Creating a session with a custom ID
|
|
|
|
```csharp
|
|
using GitHub.Copilot.SDK;
|
|
|
|
await using var client = new CopilotClient();
|
|
await client.StartAsync();
|
|
|
|
// Create session with a memorable ID
|
|
var session = await client.CreateSessionAsync(new SessionConfig
|
|
{
|
|
SessionId = "user-123-conversation",
|
|
Model = "gpt-5"
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
await session.SendAsync(new MessageOptions { Prompt = "Let's discuss TypeScript generics" });
|
|
|
|
// Session ID is preserved
|
|
Console.WriteLine(session.SessionId); // "user-123-conversation"
|
|
|
|
// Destroy session but keep data on disk
|
|
await session.DisposeAsync();
|
|
await client.StopAsync();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Resuming a session
|
|
|
|
```csharp
|
|
await using var client = new CopilotClient();
|
|
await client.StartAsync();
|
|
|
|
// Resume the previous session
|
|
var session = await client.ResumeSessionAsync("user-123-conversation");
|
|
|
|
// Previous context is restored
|
|
await session.SendAsync(new MessageOptions { Prompt = "What were we discussing?" });
|
|
|
|
await session.DisposeAsync();
|
|
await client.StopAsync();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Listing available sessions
|
|
|
|
```csharp
|
|
var sessions = await client.ListSessionsAsync();
|
|
foreach (var s in sessions)
|
|
{
|
|
Console.WriteLine($"Session: {s.SessionId}");
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Deleting a session permanently
|
|
|
|
```csharp
|
|
// Remove session and all its data from disk
|
|
await client.DeleteSessionAsync("user-123-conversation");
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Getting session history
|
|
|
|
Retrieve all messages from a session:
|
|
|
|
```csharp
|
|
var messages = await session.GetMessagesAsync();
|
|
foreach (var msg in messages)
|
|
{
|
|
Console.WriteLine($"[{msg.Type}] {msg.Data.Content}");
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Best practices
|
|
|
|
1. **Use meaningful session IDs**: Include user ID or context in the session ID
|
|
2. **Handle missing sessions**: Check if a session exists before resuming
|
|
3. **Clean up old sessions**: Periodically delete sessions that are no longer needed
