"Cookie" is a widely-used npm package and a basic HTTP server cookie parser and serializer. With the help of "cookie", you can manage your cookies on the HTTP server. It allows you to parse an HTTP 'Cookie' header string and return an object of all cookie name-value pairs. Similarly, it provides you with the function to serialize a cookie name-value pair into a Set-Cookie
header string.
To use the "cookie" package, you need to install it first through the npm registry. Use the npm install command as follows:
$ npm install cookie
Once the installation is complete, you require the package into your JavaScript file:
var cookie = require('cookie');
You can use methods provided by "cookie" to parse and serialize cookies.
To parse a cookie, use the parse
function of cookie
:
var cookies = cookie.parse('foo=bar; equation=E%3Dmc%5E2');
// { foo: 'bar', equation: 'E=mc^2' }
The parse
function takes a string representing a Cookie
header value and an optional options object.
To serialize a cookie, use the serialize
function:
var setCookie = cookie.serialize('foo', 'bar');
// foo=bar
The serialize
function takes a name for the cookie, a value to set the cookie to, and an optional options
object for additional serialization options.
The documentation for the "cookie" npm package is available within the README file on the project's official GitHub repository (https://github.com/jshttp/cookie.git). This README file provides comprehensive information regarding installation, API usage, options, testing, and references, making it a reliable resource for developers seeking to understand and use the "cookie" npm package in their JavaScript projects.
