vue-cookies-reactive

vue-cookies

A simple Vue.js plugin for handling browser cookies reactively, heavily inspired by vue-cookies This lib overrides the default fetch and XMLHttpRequest implementations to reload cookies after a request is executed, allowing you to use cookies as computed properties or to watch cookies for changes made by a request

Installation

npm install vue-cookies-reactive --save

// require
var Vue = require('vue')
Vue.use(require('vue-cookies-reactive'))

// es2015 module
import Vue from 'vue'
import VueCookies from 'vue-cookies-reactive'
Vue.use(VueCookies)

// set default config
Vue.$cookies.config('7d')

// set global cookie
Vue.$cookies.set('theme','default');
Vue.$cookies.set('hover-time','1s');

Api

syntax format: [this | Vue].$cookies.[method]

config()

Set global config

$cookies.config(expireTimes[,path[, domain[, secure[, sameSite]]])  // default: expireTimes = 1d, path = '/', domain = '', secure = '', sameSite = 'Lax'

set()

Set a cookie

$cookies.set(keyName, value[, expireTimes[, path[, domain[, secure[, sameSite]]]]])   //return this

get()

Get a cookie or all cookies as an object if no key is passed

$cookies.get(keyName)  // return value                             

remove()

Remove a cookie

$cookies.remove(keyName [, path [, domain]])  // return this

isKey()

Check if a cookie is set

$cookies.isKey(keyName)  // return false or true

keys()

Get all keys of cookies

$cookies.keys()  // return an array

refresh()

Refresh all cookies, note that this is already done automatically after each XMLHttpRequest or fetch are executed so it's unlikely you will need it

$cookies.resfresh()  // return this

Example Usage

set global config

// 30 day after, expire
Vue.$cookies.config('30d')

// set secure, only https works
Vue.$cookies.config('7d','','',true)

// 2019-03-13 expire
this.$cookies.config(new Date(2019,03,13).toUTCString())

// 30 day after, expire, '' current path , browser default
this.$cookies.config(60 * 60 * 24 * 30,'');

support json object

var user = { id:1, name:'Journal',session:'25j_7Sl6xDq2Kc3ym0fmrSSk2xV2XkUkX' };
this.$cookies.set('user',user);
// print user name
console.log(this.$cookies.get('user').name)

set expire times

Suppose the current time is : Sat, 11 Mar 2017 12:25:57 GMT

Following equivalence: 1 day after, expire

Support chaining sets together

 // default expire time: 1 day
this.$cookies.set("user_session","25j_7Sl6xDq2Kc3ym0fmrSSk2xV2XkUkX")
        // number + d , ignore case
        .set("user_session","25j_7Sl6xDq2Kc3ym0fmrSSk2xV2XkUkX","1d")
        .set("user_session","25j_7Sl6xDq2Kc3ym0fmrSSk2xV2XkUkX","1D")
        // Base of second
        .set("user_session","25j_7Sl6xDq2Kc3ym0fmrSSk2xV2XkUkX",60 * 60 * 24)
        // input a Date, + 1day
        .set("user_session","25j_7Sl6xDq2Kc3ym0fmrSSk2xV2XkUkX", new Date(2017, 03, 12))
        // input a date string, + 1day
        .set("user_session","25j_7Sl6xDq2Kc3ym0fmrSSk2xV2XkUkX", "Sat, 13 Mar 2017 12:25:57 GMT")

set expire times, input number type

this.$cookies.set("default_unit_second","input_value",1);            // 1 second after, expire
this.$cookies.set("default_unit_second","input_value",60 + 30);      // 1 minute 30 second after, expire
this.$cookies.set("default_unit_second","input_value",60 * 60 * 12); // 12 hour after, expire
this.$cookies.set("default_unit_second","input_value",60 * 60 * 24 * 30); // 1 month after, expire

set expire times - end of browser session

this.$cookies.set("default_unit_second","input_value",0);          // end of session - use 0 or "0"!

set expire times , input string type

Unit	full name
y	year
m	month
d	day
h	hour
min	minute
s	second

Unit Names Ignore Case
