How can I list all cookies for the current page with Javascript?
You can list cookies for current domain:
function listCookies() {
var theCookies = document.cookie.split(';');
var aString = '';
for (var i = 1 ; i <= theCookies.length; i++) {
aString += i + ' ' + theCookies[i-1] + "\n";
}
return aString;
}
But you cannot list cookies for other domains for security reasons
var x = document.cookie;
window.alert(x);
This displays every cookie the current site has access to. If you for example have created two cookies "username=Frankenstein" and "username=Dracula", these two lines of code will display "username=Frankenstein; username=Dracula". However, information such as expiry date will not be shown.
Many people have already mentioned that document.cookie
gets you all the cookies (except http-only
ones).
I'll just add a snippet to keep up with the times.
document.cookie.split(';').reduce((cookies, cookie) => {
const [ name, value ] = cookie.split('=').map(c => c.trim());
cookies[name] = value;
return cookies;
}, {});
The snippet will return an object with cookie names as the keys with cookie values as the values.
Slightly different syntax:
document.cookie.split(';').reduce((cookies, cookie) => {
const [ name, value ] = cookie.split('=').map(c => c.trim());
return { ...cookies, [name]: value };
}, {});
