Basic HTTP cookie parser and serializer for HTTP servers.
## Installation
This is a [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) module available through the
[npm registry](https://www.npmjs.com/). Installation is done using the
[`npm install` command](https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/installing-npm-packages-locally):
```sh
$ npm install cookie
```
## API
```js
var cookie = require('cookie');
```
### cookie.parse(str, options)
Parse an HTTP `Cookie` header string and returning an object of all cookie name-value pairs.
The `str` argument is the string representing a `Cookie` header value and `options` is an
optional object containing additional parsing options.
```js
var cookies = cookie.parse('foo=bar; equation=E%3Dmc%5E2');
// { foo: 'bar', equation: 'E=mc^2' }
```
#### Options
`cookie.parse` accepts these properties in the options object.
##### decode
Specifies a function that will be used to decode a cookie's value. Since the value of a cookie
has a limited character set (and must be a simple string), this function can be used to decode
a previously-encoded cookie value into a JavaScript string or other object.
The default function is the global `decodeURIComponent`, which will decode any URL-encoded
sequences into their byte representations.
**note** if an error is thrown from this function, the original, non-decoded cookie value will
be returned as the cookie's value.
### cookie.serialize(name, value, options)
Serialize a cookie name-value pair into a `Set-Cookie` header string. The `name` argument is the
name for the cookie, the `value` argument is the value to set the cookie to, and the `options`
argument is an optional object containing additional serialization options.
```js
var setCookie = cookie.serialize('foo', 'bar');
// foo=bar
```
#### Options
`cookie.serialize` accepts these properties in the options object.
##### domain
Specifies the value for the [`Domain` `Set-Cookie` attribute][rfc-6265-5.2.3]. By default, no
domain is set, and most clients will consider the cookie to apply to only the current domain.
##### encode
Specifies a function that will be used to encode a cookie's value. Since value of a cookie
has a limited character set (and must be a simple string), this function can be used to encode
a value into a string suited for a cookie's value.
The default function is the global `encodeURIComponent`, which will encode a JavaScript string
into UTF-8 byte sequences and then URL-encode any that fall outside of the cookie range.
##### expires
Specifies the `Date` object to be the value for the [`Expires` `Set-Cookie` attribute][rfc-6265-5.2.1].
By default, no expiration is set, and most clients will consider this a "non-persistent cookie" and
will delete it on a condition like exiting a web browser application.
**note** the [cookie storage model specification][rfc-6265-5.3] states that if both `expires` and
`maxAge` are set, then `maxAge` takes precedence, but it is possible not all clients by obey this,
so if both are set, they should point to the same date and time.
##### httpOnly
Specifies the `boolean` value for the [`HttpOnly` `Set-Cookie` attribute][rfc-6265-5.2.6]. When truthy,
the `HttpOnly` attribute is set, otherwise it is not. By default, the `HttpOnly` attribute is not set.
**note** be careful when setting this to `true`, as compliant clients will not allow client-side
JavaScript to see the cookie in `document.cookie`.
##### maxAge
Specifies the `number` (in seconds) to be the value for the [`Max-Age` `Set-Cookie` attribute][rfc-6265-5.2.2].
The given number will be converted to an integer by rounding down. By default, no maximum age is set.
**note** the [cookie storage model specification][rfc-6265-5.3] states that if both `expires` and
`maxAge` are set, then `maxAge` takes precedence, but it is possible not all clients by obey this,
so if both are set, they should point to the same date and time.
##### path
Specifies the value for the [`Path` `Set-Cookie` attribute][rfc-6265-5.2.4]. By default, the path
is considered the ["default path"][rfc-6265-5.1.4].
##### sameSite
Specifies the `boolean` or `string` to be the value for the [`SameSite` `Set-Cookie` attribute][rfc-6265bis-03-4.1.2.7].
- `true` will set the `SameSite` attribute to `Strict` for strict same site enforcement.
- `false` will not set the `SameSite` attribute.
- `'lax'` will set the `SameSite` attribute to `Lax` for lax same site enforcement.
- `'none'` will set the `SameSite` attribute to `None` for an explicit cross-site cookie.
- `'strict'` will set the `SameSite` attribute to `Strict` for strict same site enforcement.
More information about the different enforcement levels can be found in
[the specification][rfc-6265bis-03-4.1.2.7].
**note** This is an attribute that has not yet been fully standardized, and may change in the future.
This also means many clients may ignore this attribute until they understand it.
##### secure
Specifies the `boolean` value for the [`Secure` `Set-Cookie` attribute][rfc-6265-5.2.5]. When truthy,
the `Secure` attribute is set, otherwise it is not. By default, the `Secure` attribute is not set.
**note** be careful when setting this to `true`, as compliant clients will not send the cookie back to
the server in the future if the browser does not have an HTTPS connection.
## Example
The following example uses this module in conjunction with the Node.js core HTTP server
to prompt a user for their name and display it back on future visits.
```js
var cookie = require('cookie');
var escapeHtml = require('escape-html');
var http = require('http');
var url = require('url');
function onRequest(req, res) {
// Parse the query string
var query = url.parse(req.url, true, true).query;
if (query && query.name) {
// Set a new cookie with the name
res.setHeader('Set-Cookie', cookie.serialize('name', String(query.name), {
httpOnly: true,
maxAge: 60 * 60 * 24 * 7 // 1 week
}));
// Redirect back after setting cookie
res.statusCode = 302;
res.setHeader('Location', req.headers.referer || '/');
res.end();
return;
}
// Parse the cookies on the request
var cookies = cookie.parse(req.headers.cookie || '');
// Get the visitor name set in the cookie
var name = cookies.name;
res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html; charset=UTF-8');
if (name) {
res.write('<p>Welcome back, <b>' + escapeHtml(name) + '</b>!</p>');
} else {
res.write('<p>Hello, new visitor!</p>');
}
res.write('<form method="GET">');
res.write('<input placeholder="enter your name" name="name"> <input type="submit" value="Set Name">');
res.end('</form>');
}
http.createServer(onRequest).listen(3000);
```
