cookie.js

Breaking Changes in v7.0.0

The samesite option has been renamed to sameSite to align with the camelCase convention.

Usage

Default Cookie Instance

import cookie from 'cookie.js';

You can use the default cookie instance to set, get, and remove cookies. The default instance is created with empty options.

Creating a Cookie Instance

import { Cookie } from 'cookie.js';

const cookieInstance = new Cookie({
  domain: 'example.com',
  path: '/',
  secure: true,
  // ...other options
});

You can create a new instance of the Cookie class optionally passing an Options object to set default properties for the cookies it manages:

Setting a Cookie

To set a cookie, you can use the set method, passing the name and value of the cookie, along with an optional Options object to set specific properties for that cookie:

cookie.set('name', 'value', {
  maxAge: 3600,
  sameSite: 'lax',
  // ...other options
});

Getting a Cookie

To retrieve the value of a cookie, you can use the get method, passing the name of the cookie:

const value = cookie.get('name');
console.log(value);

Removing a Cookie

To remove a cookie, you can use the remove method, passing the name of the cookie and optionally, an Options object to specify removal conditions:

cookie.remove('name');
