Isomorphic Cookies
Isomorphic bulletproof cookie functions for client and server
- 100% Tests coverage
- Works on both server and client
Install:
meteor add ostrio:cookies
ES6 Import:
import { Cookies } from 'meteor/ostrio:cookies';
API:
Note: On server, cookies will be set only after headers is sent (on next route or page reload). To send cookies from client to server without page reload use send()
method
Server Usage Note: On server Cookies implemented as a middleware. To get access to current user's cookies use req.Cookies
instance. For more - see examples section below.
new Cookies(opts)
[Isomorphic]
Fetch cookies Create new instance of Cookies
-
opts.auto
{Boolean} - [Server] Auto-bind in middleware asreq.Cookies
, by defaulttrue
-
opts.handler
{Function} - [Server] Middleware function with one argumentcookies
asCookies
instance. See "Alternate Usage" section -
opts.TTL
{Number} - Default cookies expiration time (max-age) in milliseconds, by default - 31 day -
opts.runOnServer
{Boolean} - Set tofalse
to avoid server usage (by default -true
)
var cookies = new Cookies();
cookies.get(key)
[Isomorphic]
Read a cookie. If the cookie doesn't exist a null
will be returned.
-
key
{String} - The name of the cookie to read
cookies.set((key, value, [opts])
[Isomorphic]
Create/overwrite a cookie.
-
key
{String} - The name of the cookie to create/overwrite -
value
{String} - The value of the cookie -
opts.expires
{Number|Date|Infinity} - [Optional] The max-age in seconds (e.g. 31536e3 for a year, Infinity for a never-expires cookie), or the expires date in GMTString format or as Date object; if not specified the cookie will expire at the end of session (number – finite or Infinity – string, Date object or null) -
opts.path
{String} - [Optional] The path from where the cookie will be readable. E.g., "/", "/mydir"; if not specified, defaults to the current path of the current document location (string or null). The path must be absolute (see RFC 2965). For more information on how to use relative paths in this argument, see: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/document.cookie#Using_relative_URLs_in_the_path_parameter -
opts.domain
{String} - [Optional] The domain from where the cookie will be readable. E.g., "example.com", ".example.com" (includes all subdomains) or "subdomain.example.com"; if not specified, defaults to the host portion of the current document location (string or null) -
opts.secure
{Boolean} - [Optional] The cookie will be transmitted only over secure protocol as https (boolean or null)
cookies.remove([key], [path], [domain])
[Isomorphic]
-
remove()
- Remove all cookies on current domain -
remove(key)
- Remove a cookie on current domain -
remove(key, path, domain)
:-
key
{String} - The name of the cookie to create/overwrite -
path
{String} - [Optional] The path from where the cookie was readable. E.g., "/", "/mydir"; if not specified, defaults to the current path of the current document location (string or null). The path must be absolute (see RFC 2965). For more information on how to use relative paths in this argument, see: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/document.cookie#Using_relative_URLs_in_the_path_parameter -
domain
{String} - [Optional] The domain from where the cookie was readable. E.g., "example.com", ".example.com" (includes all subdomains) or "subdomain.example.com"; if not specified, defaults to the host portion of the current document location (string or null)
-
cookies.has(key)
[Isomorphic]
Check whether a cookie exists in the current position, returns boolean value
-
key
{String} - The name of the cookie to check
cookies.keys()
[Isomorphic]
Returns an array of all readable cookies from this location
cookies.send([callback])
[Client]
Send all current cookies to server
Examples:
/* Both Client & Server */
var cookies = new Cookies()
/* Client */
if(Meteor.isClient){
cookies.set('locale', 'en'); //true
cookies.set('country', 'usa'); //true
cookies.set('gender', 'male'); //true
cookies.get('gender'); //male
cookies.has('locale'); //true
cookies.has('city'); //false
cookies.keys(); //['locale', 'country', 'gender']
cookies.remove('locale'); //true
cookies.get('locale'); //null
cookies.keys(); //['country', 'gender']
cookies.remove(); //true
cookies.keys(); //[""]
cookies.remove(); //false
}
/* Server */
if(Meteor.isServer){
WebApp.connectHandlers.use(function(req, res, next){
cookies = req.Cookies;
cookies.set('locale', 'en'); //true
cookies.set('country', 'usa'); //true
cookies.set('gender', 'male'); //true
cookies.get('gender'); //male
cookies.has('locale'); //true
cookies.has('city'); //false
cookies.keys(); //['locale', 'country', 'gender']
cookies.remove('locale'); //true
cookies.get('locale'); //null
cookies.keys(); //['country', 'gender']
cookies.remove(); //true
cookies.keys(); //[""]
cookies.remove(); //false
});
}
Alternate Usage
/* Client */
if(Meteor.isClient){
var cookies = new Cookies()
cookies.set('gender', 'male'); //true
cookies.get('gender'); //male
cookies.has('city'); //false
cookies.keys(); //['gender']
}
/* Server */
if(Meteor.isServer){
var cookie = new Cookies({
auto: false, // Do not bind as a middleware by default
handler: function(cookies){
cookies.set('gender', 'male'); //true
cookies.get('gender'); //male
cookies.has('city'); //false
cookies.keys(); //['gender']
}
});
WebApp.connectHandlers.use(cookie.middleware());
