A Session is created when a user makes a request to restricted API operations. A Session can be an [AnonymousSession](/current/core/reference/typescript-api/entities/anonymous-session#anonymoussession)
in the case of un-authenticated users, otherwise it is an [AuthenticatedSession](/current/core/reference/typescript-api/entities/authenticated-session#authenticatedsession).

```ts title="Signature"
class Session extends VendureEntity implements HasCustomFields {
    @Index({ unique: true })
    @Column()
    token: string;
    @Column() expires: Date;
    @Column() invalidated: boolean;
    @EntityId({ nullable: true })
    activeOrderId?: ID;
    @Index()
    @ManyToOne(type => Order)
    activeOrder: Order | null;
    @EntityId({ nullable: true })
    activeChannelId?: ID;
    @Index()
    @ManyToOne(type => Channel)
    activeChannel: Channel | null;
    @Column(type => CustomSessionFields)
    customFields: CustomSessionFields;
}
