V1.0.2 Remove the import directive to fix the outdated dependency and compilation error caused by Apache cookie class.

Cookie Master

As you may already know, WebViews on Android and iOS platforms do not support regular use of document.cookie for managing the cookies in your app. This plugin allows you to get and set cookie values from your WebView through a simple interface.

Supported Platforms

  • Android
  • iOS

Installing

Install with Cordova CLI

$ cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-cookiemaster

Usage

Get cookie value

cookieMaster.getCookieValue('http://<some host>:<some port>', '<cookie name>', function(data) {
  console.log(data.cookieValue);
}, function(error) {
  if (error) {
    console.log('error: ' + error);
  }
});

Set cookie value

cookieMaster.setCookieValue('http://<some host>:<some port>', '<cookie name>', '<cookie value>',
    function() {
        console.log('A cookie has been set');
    },
    function(error) {
        console.log('Error setting cookie: '+error);
    });

The cookie value should be formatted just like a regular document.cookie value.

Clear all cookies

cookieMaster.clearCookies(
    function() {
    console.log('Cookies have been cleared');
    },
    function() {
        console.log('Cookies could not be cleared');
    });

Limitations

  • This version has been tested on Android 4.4 ~ 5.1 devices, iOS 7.1 ~ 9 devices. Experience may vary for different OS versions.

Thanks to

This plugin is a fork from Kristian Hristov's "cookie master" plugin. The author is not maintaining the plugin, so I created a new branch to include fixes and support to new OS versions.

This plugin was inspired by the great work on the CookieMonster plugin by @barrettc
