How to save an information in the customer session?

An example from the core:

magento/magento2/blob/2.0.0/app/code/Magento/Paypal/Controller/Express/AbstractExpress.php#L267


}


/**
 * Redirect to login page
 *
 * @return void
 */
public function redirectLogin()
{
    $this->_actionFlag->set('', 'no-dispatch', true);
    $this->_customerSession->setBeforeAuthUrl($this->_redirect->getRefererUrl());
    $this->getResponse()->setRedirect(
        $this->_urlHelper->addRequestParam($this->_customerUrl->getLoginUrl(), ['context' => 'checkout'])
    );
}
}

Actually the session has no setBeforeAuthUrl method and the magic __call method is called:

github.com

magento/magento2/blob/2.0.0/lib/internal/Magento/Framework/Session/SessionManager.php#L142-L159


/**
 * Storage accessor method
 *
 * @param string $method
 * @param array $args
 * @return mixed
 * @throws \InvalidArgumentException
 */
public function __call($method, $args)
{
    if (!in_array(substr($method, 0, 3), ['get', 'set', 'uns', 'has'])) {
        throw new \InvalidArgumentException(
            sprintf('Invalid method %s::%s(%s)', get_class($this), $method, print_r($args, 1))
        );
    }
    $return = call_user_func_array([$this->storage, $method], $args);
    return $return === $this->storage ? $this : $return;
}

A usage example

1. Setting an information to the customer session:

/** @var \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager $om */
$om = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();
/** @var \Magento\Customer\Model\Session $session */
$session = $om->get('Magento\Customer\Model\Session');
$session->setTestKey('test value');

2. Getting an information from the customer session:

/** @var \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager $om */
$om = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();
/** @var \Magento\Customer\Model\Session $session */
$session = $om->get('Magento\Customer\Model\Session');
echo $session->getTestKey();
