What is cookies?

The 'cookies' npm package is a Node.js module for handling browser cookies on the server side. It allows you to get and set HTTP cookies with a simple API, providing a way to manage session data and track user information across requests.

What are cookies's main functionalities?

Get a cookie

This feature allows you to retrieve the value of a cookie named 'LastVisit' from an incoming HTTP request.

const Cookies = require('cookies');
const cookies = new Cookies(req, res);
const lastVisit = cookies.get('LastVisit');

Set a cookie

This feature allows you to set a cookie with the name 'Name' and value 'Value', with additional options such as 'httpOnly' and 'secure' flags.

const Cookies = require('cookies');
const cookies = new Cookies(req, res);
cookies.set('Name', 'Value', { httpOnly: true, secure: true });

Set a cookie with expiration

This feature allows you to set a cookie that will expire one week from the current date.

const Cookies = require('cookies');
const cookies = new Cookies(req, res);
const oneWeekLater = new Date(Date.now() + 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
cookies.set('SessionToken', 'tokenValue', { expires: oneWeekLater });
