hasValidConsent() checks the cookie consent from document.cookie. If consent cookie is not there or document is undefined then it will return false.

cookie.write(string, object(optional))

import { cookie } from "@transferwise/cookie-consent";

cookie.write(
  "username=John Doe; expires=Thu, 18 Dec 2013 12:00:00 UTC; path=/"
);

cookie.write(string, object) takes 2 arguments:

cookie name, value and params you want to write to document.cookie
Optional: object that contains value if the cookie is essential - if it's true then we will add it to document.cookie even when we don't have consent How to know if my cookie is essential?

Adding essential cookie:

import { cookie } from "@transferwise/cookie-consent";

cookie.write(
  "username=John Doe; expires=Thu, 18 Dec 2013 12:00:00 UTC; path=/",
  { essential: true }
);
