cookie-object-js v1.0.0

JavaScript cookieObject

A JavaScript factory function for storing key:value object data in a cookie

• No dependency
• Supports ES modules

Installation

NPM

Cookie Object JS supports npm under the name cookie-object-js.

npm i cookie-object-js

Examples

<script type="module">
  import { cookieObject } from './cookie-object.esm.js';

  var data = cookieObject('my_cookie_name');

  data.set({
    'Full Name': 'Cookie Object JS'
  });

  data.set('script_type', 'Factory function');

  console.log(data.get());
</script>

<script type="module" src="./cookie-object.esm.js"></script>
<script nomodule defer src="./cookie-object.js"></script>

Here we're loading the nomodule script in a deferred fashion, because ES modules are deferred by default. This may not be strictly necessary depending on how you're using the library.

Basic Usage

Create a cookie that is valid across the entire site and transform it to a JSON object:

cookieObject('my_cookie_name').set('Name', 'The Name...!')

Create a cookie that expires 7 days from now, valid across the entire site:

cookieObject('my_cookie_name', 7).set('Name', 'The Name...!')

Create an expiring cookie, valid to the path of the /page-url/ path:

cookieObject('my_cookie_name', 7, '/page-url/').set('Name', 'The Name...!')

Get cookie object data:

cookieObject('my_cookie_name').get()
cookieObject('my_cookie_name').get('Name')

Remove an item from cookie object:

cookieObject('my_cookie_name').remove('Name')

Reset cookie object to {}:

cookieObject('my_cookie_name').reset()

Reset cookie object to a default object:

cookieObject('my_cookie_name').reset(defaultObject)
