Usage

CookieModule should be registered in the AppModule with forRoot() static method and with forChild() in the child modules. These methods accepts CookieOptions objects as well. Leave it blank for the defaults.

import { NgModule }      from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
 
import { CookieModule } from 'ngx-cookie';
 
import { AppComponent }  from './app.component';
 
@NgModule({
  imports: [ BrowserModule, CookieModule.forRoot() ],
  declarations: [ AppComponent ],
  bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule { }
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { CookieService } from 'ngx-cookie';
 
@Component({
    selector: 'my-very-cool-app',
    template: '<h1>My Angular2 App with Cookies</h1>'
})
 
export class AppComponent { 
  constructor(private _cookieService:CookieService){}
  
  getCookie(key: string){
    return this._cookieService.get(key);
  }
}

Angular Universal Usage

ngx-cookie supports usage during Server Side Rendering (SSR / Angular Universal). Getting Server Side Rendering itself set up the first time can be tricky and is outside the scope of this guide. Here, we'll assume that you've got a working SSR setup similar to the Angular Universal Starter project, and you're just trying to get ngx-cookie working with SSR.

Note: during normal, client side usage, ngx-cookie manipulates the client cookies attached to the document object. During SSR, ngx-cookie will manipulate cookies in http request or response headers.

Setup

First up, edit app.server.module.ts (located in root > src > app of the Universal starter project) to overwrite ngx-cookie's CookieService with ngx-cookie's CookieBackendService during server side rendering.

/* app.server.module.ts */

import { CookieService, CookieBackendService } from 'ngx-cookie';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    AppModule,
    ServerModule,
    ModuleMapLoaderModule,
  ],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent],
  providers: [{ provide: CookieService, useClass: CookieBackendService }], // <--- CHANGES * * * * *
})
export class AppServerModule {}

Next, we need to make providers for the 'REQUEST' and 'RESPONSE' objects created by the expressjs server during SSR. You can check out the CookieBackendService code, but during SSR ngx-cookie inject's these objects into CookieBackendService. To do this, edit server.ts (located in the root of the Universal Starter Project) to create providers for 'REQUEST' AND 'RESPONSE'.

/* server.ts */

// Find the call to res.render() in the file and
// update it with providers for 'REQUEST' and 'RESPONSE'

app.get('*', (req, res) => {
  res.render('index', {
    req: req,
    res: res,
    providers: [
      {
        provide: 'REQUEST', useValue: (req)
      },
      {
        provide: 'RESPONSE', useValue: (res)
      }
    ]
  });
});

And that's it! all your application's calls to CookieService should now work properly during SSR!

Examples

Here you can find some usage examples with popular boilerplate libraries.

Angular2-quickstart

A boilerplate provided by Angular team. (Link: https://github.com/angular/quickstart)

Just edit the systemjs.config.js file and add the ngx-cookie there.

/**
 * System configuration for Angular 2 samples
 * Adjust as necessary for your application needs.
 */
(function (global) {
  System.config({
    paths: {
      // paths serve as alias
      'npm:': 'node_modules/'
    },
    // map tells the System loader where to look for things
    map: {
      // our app is within the app folder
      app: 'app',
 
      // angular bundles
      '@angular/core': 'npm:@angular/core/bundles/core.umd.js',
      '@angular/common': 'npm:@angular/common/bundles/common.umd.js',
      '@angular/compiler': 'npm:@angular/compiler/bundles/compiler.umd.js',
      '@angular/platform-browser': 'npm:@angular/platform-browser/bundles/platform-browser.umd.js',
      '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic': 'npm:@angular/platform-browser-dynamic/bundles/platform-browser-dynamic.umd.js',
      '@angular/http': 'npm:@angular/http/bundles/http.umd.js',
      '@angular/router': 'npm:@angular/router/bundles/router.umd.js',
      '@angular/forms': 'npm:@angular/forms/bundles/forms.umd.js',
 
      // other libraries
      'rxjs':                       'npm:rxjs',
      'angular2-in-memory-web-api': 'npm:angular2-in-memory-web-api',
      'ngx-cookie':                 'npm:ngx-cookie/bundles/ngx-cookie.umd.js'
    },
    // packages tells the System loader how to load when no filename and/or no extension
    packages: {
      app: {
        main: './main.js',
        defaultExtension: 'js'
      },
      rxjs: {
        defaultExtension: 'js'
      },
      'angular2-in-memory-web-api': {
        main: './index.js',
        defaultExtension: 'js'
      }
    }
  });
})(this);

Angular2-seed

A popular seed project. (Link: https://github.com/mgechev/angular2-seed)

Add the following settings to the (constructor of) ProjectConfig class (path: ./tools/config/project.config.ts).

let additionalPackages: ExtendPackages[] = [{
  name: 'ngx-cookie',
  // Path to the package's bundle
  path: 'node_modules/ngx-cookie/bundles/ngx-cookie.umd.js'
}];
 
this.addPackagesBundles(additionalPackages);

Do not forget to inject the CookieModule in the module AppModule and SharedModule.

CookieService

There are 7 methods available in the CookieService (6 standard methods from Angular 1 and 1 extra removeAll() method for convenience)

get()

Returns the value of given cookie key.

/**
 * @param {string} key Id to use for lookup.
 * @returns {string} Raw cookie value.
 */
get(keystring)string;

getObject()

Returns the deserialized value of given cookie key.

/**
 * @param {string} key Id to use for lookup.
 * @returns {Object} Deserialized cookie value.
 */
getObject(keystring)Object;

getAll()

Returns a key value object with all the cookies.

/**
 * @returns {Object} All cookies
 */
getAll()any;

put()

Sets a value for given cookie key.

/**
 * @param {string} key Id for the `value`.
 * @param {string} value Raw value to be stored.
 * @param {CookieOptions} options (Optional) Options object.
 */
put(keystring, valuestring, options?: CookieOptions)void;

putObject()

Serializes and sets a value for given cookie key.

/**
 * @param {string} key Id for the `value`.
 * @param {Object} value Value to be stored.
 * @param {CookieOptions} options (Optional) Options object.
 */
putObject(keystring, valueObject, options?: CookieOptions)void;

remove()

Remove given cookie.

/**
 * @param {string} key Id of the key-value pair to delete.
 * @param {CookieOptions} options (Optional) Options object.
 */
remove(keystring, options?: CookieOptions)void;

removeAll()

Remove all cookies.

/**
 */
removeAll()void;

Options

Options object should be a type of CookieOptions interface. The object may have following properties:

  • path - {string} - The cookie will be available only for this path and its sub-paths. By default, this is the URL that appears in your <base> tag.
  • domain - {string} - The cookie will be available only for this domain and its sub-domains. For security reasons the user agent will not accept the cookie if the current domain is not a sub-domain of this domain or equal to it.
  • expires - {string|Date} - String of the form "Wdy, DD Mon YYYY HH:MM:SS GMT" or a Date object indicating the exact date/time this cookie will expire.
  • secure - {boolean} - If true, then the cookie will only be available through a secured connection.
  • httpOnly - {boolean} - If true, then the cookie will be set with the HttpOnly flag, and will only be accessible from the remote server. Helps to prevent against XSS attacks.
  • storeUnencoded - {boolean} - If true, then the cookie value will not be encoded and will be stored as provided.
