Django session countdown timer

I have it in my login screen:

SESSION_COOKIE_AGE = 1200 # 20 minutes

And I want to show the remaining time in my template

Does anyone know a good or middleware package for django to add a timer remaining to end the login session. I did not think anything built with Django, just javascript solutions. Thank U.

First you need to get the session key from the request. Then, it's easy to get the session object and query its age:

from django.contrib.sessions.models import Session

session_key = request.COOKIES["sessionid"]
session = Session.objects.get(session_key=session_key)

remaining_seconds = session.get_expiry_age()

Then you must add remaining_seconds variable to your template context or maybe better write a context processor so this variable is available at every template.
