Cookie Reader

An ES6 super tiny read-only cookie reader.

Literally, it only reads the cookie

Install

npm i cookie-reader

Example

import Cookie from "cookie-reader"
// by default the parse method will use `document.cookie`
// parses the cookie into a {"key":"value"} Object
const cookie = Cookie.parse()
 
// get an item from the cookie
const JWT_Token = Cookie.getItem("jwt_token")

Methods

parse

Accepts 1 argument as a String. Defaults to document.cookie

const cookieString = "some_key=ABC1234; key_2=123456;key_3=asdfg"
Cookie.parse(cookieString)
/*
 * {
     some_key: "ABC1234",
     key_2: "123456",
     key_3: "asdfg"
 }
*/

getItem

Accepts 2 arguments

1. key: required key String, representing the item name from the cookie.
