TypeScript definitions for cookie
Package description
The @types/cookie package provides TypeScript type definitions for the 'cookie' npm package, which is used for parsing and serializing cookies in Node.js applications. This package does not include any functionality by itself but offers type support to enhance development experience in TypeScript environments.
Parsing Cookies
This feature allows developers to parse a cookie string into an object. The parse function takes a string and returns an object where each property corresponds to a cookie name and its value.
import { parse } from 'cookie';
const cookies = parse('foo=bar; equation=E%3Dmc%5E2');Serializing Cookies
This feature enables developers to serialize a cookie name and value into a cookie header string. Additional options can be provided to set cookie attributes such as 'httpOnly', 'secure', etc.
import { serialize } from 'cookie';
const cookie = serialize('foo', 'bar', { httpOnly: true });The 'cookie' package is the JavaScript library that @types/cookie provides types for. It handles parsing and serializing cookies but lacks built-in TypeScript support, which @types/cookie provides.
js-cookie is a simple, lightweight JavaScript API for handling cookies. It works well in all browsers and provides a more fluent API for dealing with cookies compared to the 'cookie' package. However, it does not provide type definitions by default, unlike @types/cookie.
tough-cookie is another npm package for handling cookies in Node.js. It offers more robust handling of cookies, including parsing and serialization as well as a built-in jar for storing cookies. It is more feature-rich compared to 'cookie' but also more complex and does not come with TypeScript types out of the box.
