Examples

Getting a cookie by name

This example shows how to get a particular cookie by name.

The code first creates a cookie named "cookie1" using CookieStore.set(), logging any errors to the console. It then waits on get() to retrieve information about that same cookie. If the returned promise resolves with an object we log the cookie: otherwise we log that no matching cookie was found.

async function cookieTest() {
  // Set test cookie
  try {
    await cookieStore.set("cookie1", "cookie1-value");
  } catch (error) {
    console.log(`Error setting cookie1: ${error}`);
  }

  // Get cookie, specifying name
  const cookie = await cookieStore.get("cookie1");

  if (cookie) {
    console.log(cookie);
  } else {
    console.log("cookie1: Cookie not found");
  }
}

cookieTest();
