TypeScript definitions for cookies
The @types/cookies package provides TypeScript type definitions for the 'cookies' npm package, which is used for handling browser cookies in Node.js applications. These type definitions allow TypeScript developers to use the 'cookies' package with type safety, ensuring that the methods and properties used are correctly typed according to the expected inputs and outputs.
Get Cookie
Retrieve the value of a cookie named 'LastVisit'. This feature is useful for accessing user-specific data stored in cookies, such as session tokens or user preferences.
import Cookies from 'cookies';
const cookies = new Cookies(req, res);
const lastVisit = cookies.get('LastVisit');Set Cookie
Set a new cookie on the client's browser. This example sets a cookie named 'name' with the value 'value', and marks it as HTTP-only and secure, which are important flags for protecting cookies.
import Cookies from 'cookies';
const cookies = new Cookies(req, res);
cookies.set('name', 'value', { httpOnly: true, secure: true });cookie-parser is a middleware for parsing cookies in Express applications. Unlike @types/cookies, which provides type definitions for TypeScript, cookie-parser directly implements cookie parsing functionality.
express-session is used for handling sessions in Express applications. It uses cookies to store session IDs. While @types/cookies provides type definitions for cookie handling, express-session offers a higher-level session management solution.
npm install --save @types/cookies
