Package Exports

cookiefile

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (cookiefile) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Usage

Loading library

let {Cookie, CookieMap, CookieError} = require('http-cookiefile')

It will provide JavaScript Map object with overloaded .set method

let cookie = new Cookie({
    domain: ".google.com",
    name: "testKey",
    value: "textValue",
    https: false, // default
    httpOnly: false, //default
    crossDomain: false, // default
    expire: Date.now() + 600 // default: 0
});

Reading Netscape Cookiefile

You can just enter your cookiefile path to load it into Map object

let cookieFile = new CookieMap('curl.cookiefile');

Or you can initialize it

let cookieFile = new CookieFile([
    cookie // Here is array of Cookie objects
]);

To read from Set-Cookie response header please use header method of CookieMap

const cookiesParsed = new CookieMap();
cookiesParsed.header('Set-Cookie: id=a3fWa');

Also, you can load cookie from request header Cookie: a=b;d=c:

const requestParsed = new CookieMap();

let options = {
    domain: ".google.com",
    secure: true,
}; // Options, which will be send to Cookie constructor

CookieMap.generate('Cookie: a=b;d=c', {htt})

Adding new cookies

Overloaded Map.set method. It will get name for the row from cookie object

cookieFile.set(cookie);

Reading values

You are able to use default Map methods like get, has, clear, and others.

let cookieValue = cookieFile.get('testKey')

You can specify new name for new cookiefile. If you create CookieMap using filename it will be used by default.

cookieFile.save('new.cookiefile');
cookieFile.save(); // If you had specify filename when create object

toString methods

You are able to use toString methods for Cookie object

cookie.toString()

will return string like

google.com   false	/	false	0	secondKey	secondValue

For CookieMap toString is available too

cookieFile.toString();

will return string will full cookiefile

In addition to this you are able to use toRequestHeader and toResponseHeader method of CookieMap and Cookie objects:

cookieFile.toRequestHeader({http: true, secure:false});
cookieFile.toResponseHeader();

It will generate something like this:

Set-Cookie: id=a3fWa; Expires=Wed, 21 Oct 2015 07:28:00 GMT; Secure; HttpOnly
Cookie: name=value; test=horatius
