angular-cookie

Lightweight Angular module for access to cookies

Installation

You can install angular-cookie via bower

bower install angular-cookie

Other way to install angular-cookie is to clone this repo into your project with this command

git clone [e-mail]:ivpusic/angular-cookie.git

Then you need to include angular-cookie.js script into your project

<script src="/path/to/angular-cookie.min.js"></script>

or include beautified version with

<script src="/path/to/angular-cookie.js"></script>

To rebuild min.js version run

grunt build

Run example

To run example execute following commands

git clone [e-mail]:ivpusic/angular-cookie.git
cd angular-cookie
npm -g install bower
npm -g install grunt
npm install
bower install
grunt

After this, go at 127.0.0.1:9001/example in your browser, and you will see running example of angular-cookie.

Usage

First you need to inject ipCookie into your angular module.

var myApp = angular.module('myApp', ['ipCookie']);

And now, for example if you want to use it from your controller

myApp.controller('cookieController', ['$scope', 'ipCookie', function($scope, ipCookie) {
  // your code here
}]);

General signature of main function is

ipCookie(key, value, options);

Set

To create a cookie use

ipCookie(key, value);

The value supports strings, numbers, booleans, arrays and objects and will be automatically serialized into the cookie.

You can also set some additional options, like number of day when a cookie expires

ipCookie(key, value, { expires: 21 });

If you want to specify a cookie path use

ipCookie(key, value, { path: '/some/path' });

If you want to set the encode or decode functions use

ipCookie(key, value, { encode: function (value) { return value; } });

Get

To get all cookies use

ipCookie();

If you want to get a cookie with a specific key use

ipCookie(key);

If any cookie was not found, function returns undefined.

The returned value will be automatically deserialized.

If you want to pass an options object, you will need to also pass 'undefined' as the second parameter:

ipCookie(key, undefined, {decode: function (value) { return value; }};

Remove

And if you want to remove a cookie use

ipCookie.remove(key);

To remove a cookie on a specific path use

ipCookie.remove(key, { path: '/some/path/' });

Options

Domain

domain: 'example.com'

The domain tells the browser to which domain the cookie should be sent. If you don't specify it, it becomes the domain of the page that sets the cookie.

Path

path: '/'

The path gives you the chance to specify a directory where the cookie is active.

Expires

expires: 21

Each cookie has an expiry date after which it is trashed. If you don't specify the expiry date the cookie is trashed when you close the browser.

Expiration Unit

expirationUnit: 'minutes'

Allows you to set the expiration time in hours, minutes, seconds, or ``milliseconds`. If this is not specified, any expiration time specified will default to days.

Secure

secure: true

The Secure attribute is meant to keep cookie communication limited to encrypted transmission, directing browsers to use cookies only via secure/encrypted connections.

Encode function

encode: function (value) { return value; }

The method that will be used to encode the cookie value (should be passed when using Set).

Default: encodeURIComponent.

Decode function

decode: function (value) { return value; }

The method that will be used to decode extracted cookie values (should be passed when using Get).

Default: decodeURIComponent.

Notes

• String (only digits) encoding -> check this PR

TODO

• Add tests
