Support json object

var user = { id:1, name:'Journal', session:'25j_7Sl6xDq2Kc3ym0fmrSSk2xV2XkUkX' }

cookies.set('user', user)

// print user name
console.log(cookies.get('user').name)

Set expire times

Suppose the current time is : Sat, 11 Mar 2017 12:25:57 GMT

Following equivalence: 1 day after, expire

Support chaining sets together

 // default expire time: 1 day
Cookies
        .set("user_session", "25j_7Sl6xDq2Kc3ym0fmrSSk2xV2XkUkX")
        // number + d , ignore case
        .set("user_session", "25j_7Sl6xDq2Kc3ym0fmrSSk2xV2XkUkX", { expires: "1d" })
        .set("user_session", "25j_7Sl6xDq2Kc3ym0fmrSSk2xV2XkUkX", { expires: "1D" })
        // Base of second
        .set("user_session", "25j_7Sl6xDq2Kc3ym0fmrSSk2xV2XkUkX", { expires: 60 * 60 * 24 })
        // input a Date, + 1day
        .set("user_session", "25j_7Sl6xDq2Kc3ym0fmrSSk2xV2XkUkX", { expires: new Date(2017, 03, 12) })
        // input a date string, + 1day
        .set("user_session", "25j_7Sl6xDq2Kc3ym0fmrSSk2xV2XkUkX", { expires: "Sat, 13 Mar 2017 12:25:57 GMT" })

Set expire times, input number type

// 1 second after, expire
cookies.set("default_unit_second", "input_value", { expires: 1 })

// 1 minute 30 second after, expire
cookies.set("default_unit_second", "input_value", { expires: 60 + 30 })

// 12 hour after, expire
cookies.set("default_unit_second", "input_value", { expires: 60 * 60 * 12 })

// 1 month after, expire
cookies.set("default_unit_second", "input_value", { expires: 60 * 60 * 24 * 30 })

Set expire times - end of browser session

// end of session - use string!
cookies.set("default_unit_second", "input_value", { expires: "0" })

Set expire times , input string type
