我应该使用临时数据库对象代替Web API的会话吗？

Question

I'm working with MVC and Web API. I'm trying to make a simple food recipe and wants the user to be able to add Ingredients, Instructions and Images. I do this by doing ajax calls to the Web Api and build a temporary Recipe object with the help of sessions.

Now I understand that sessions should be avoided because of RESTful API. Is it better to create a RecipeTemp object with an expiration date och add this to my Context? And then use stored procedures to delete the objects?

I see a lot of solutions to your problem. It would be ok to use temp db objects if you want to give a user a possibility to change the same recipe on different devices (or if you want to give a user access to a recipe for a long time). For other cases, it's enough to use state on a client (like localStorage).
