Electron Cookies

Forked from https://github.com/hstove/electron-cookies

Changes from the original:

• Uses Tough Cookie for cookie parsing and storage.
• Uses Tough Cookie Web Storage to persist cookies in localStorage.
• Converted to vanilla JavaScript.

Installation

In your package.json include:

dependencies: {
  "electron-cookies": "heap/electron-cookies"
}

Then in your app's renderer code, require the package:

require('electron-cookies');

If your Electron app has the nodeIntegration preference set to false, you can include the browserified dist/electron-cookies.js via a <script> tag:

<script src='./node_modules/electron-cookies/dist/electron-cookies.js'></script>

Original README

(Formerly called `atom-shell-cookies`)

Adds support for cookies in Electron. Cookies are persisted through localStorage.

Forked from https://gist.github.com/paulcbetts/2d2de55d137a1cf9d1ac.

Why?

Electron's renderer environment doesn't come with built in support for a document.cookie API. Thus, if you want to use Google Analytics or another client-side analytics library, they won't work because they can't set cookies.

By using this package, you can drop client-side analytics code into your app and it will work splendidly.

Installation

npm install electron-cookies

Usage

In your app's renderer code, just require this package:

require('electron-cookies')
