Cookies

What is Cookies.js?

A lightweight vanilla JavaScript plugin to set, get and remove cookies (i.eg., cross-browser).

How Cookies Works

Cookies.js is dependency free plugin that remembers information about a user. When a user visits a web page, Cookies.js can store data about that user.

Usage

Set a Cookie

You can set yourself a cookie with setCookie(). You will need to provide the following arguments:

setCookie(
      'asweetcookie', # cname - name of the cookie  
      'chocolate',    # cvalue - the value of the cookie
      '2'             # exdays - expiration date in days 
);
	

Get a Cookie

You can get a cookie with getCookie(). You will need to provide the following arguments to get your cookie:

getCookie(
    'asweetcookie', # cname - name of the cookie  
);

Remove a Cookie

You can remove a cookie with removeCookie(). You will need to provide the following arguments:

removeCookie(
    'asweetcookie', # cname - name of the cookie  
);

Error(s)

At any point in time if you call a function and receive a non-zero return, you have yourself an error (sad day). If you'd like to learn more about the error, take a look at window.unbakedCookies in the console. This variable is a neat little object to tell you what has gone wrong. It provides the function name where the error occurred (a human readable error message) and a numerical error message.

Parameters

The following are the potential arguments required by Cookies.

Parameter	Default	Definition
cname	null	name of the cookie
cvalue	null	value of the cookie
exdays	null	number of days until expiration or 'session' to set in-memory / transient cookie
