What is @types/cookiejar?
@types/cookiejar provides TypeScript type definitions for the cookiejar library, which is used for handling HTTP cookies in a Node.js environment.
What are @types/cookiejar's main functionalities?
Creating a Cookie
This feature allows you to create a new Cookie object from a string. The Cookie object can then be used to inspect or manipulate the cookie's properties.
const { Cookie } = require('cookiejar');
const cookie = new Cookie('key=value; domain=example.com; path=/;');
console.log(cookie);
Creating a CookieJar
This feature allows you to create a new CookieJar object, which is a collection of cookies. The CookieJar can be used to store and retrieve cookies.
const { CookieJar } = require('cookiejar');
const jar = new CookieJar();
console.log(jar);
Adding a Cookie to a CookieJar
This feature allows you to add a Cookie object to a CookieJar. The CookieJar can then be used to manage multiple cookies.
const { Cookie, CookieJar } = require('cookiejar');
const jar = new CookieJar();
const cookie = new Cookie('key=value; domain=example.com; path=/;');
jar.setCookie(cookie);
console.log(jar);
Retrieving a Cookie from a CookieJar
This feature allows you to retrieve a specific cookie from a CookieJar based on the cookie's key, domain, and path.
const { Cookie, CookieJar } = require('cookiejar');
const jar = new CookieJar();
const cookie = new Cookie('key=value; domain=example.com; path=/;');
jar.setCookie(cookie);
const retrievedCookie = jar.getCookie('key', 'example.com', '/');
console.log(retrievedCookie);
