How do I create a cookie client side using blazor
You can use this way without any script:
First define this service:
using Microsoft.JSInterop;
namespace MyProject.Utils
{
public interface ICookie
{
public Task SetValue(string key, string value, int? days = null);
public Task<string> GetValue(string key, string def = "");
}
public class Cookie : ICookie
{
readonly IJSRuntime JSRuntime;
string expires = "";
public Cookie(IJSRuntime jsRuntime)
{
JSRuntime = jsRuntime;
ExpireDays = 300;
}
public async Task SetValue(string key, string value, int? days = null)
{
var curExp = (days != null) ? (days > 0 ? DateToUTC(days.Value) : "") : expires;
await SetCookie($"{key}={value}; expires={curExp}; path=/");
}
public async Task<string> GetValue(string key, string def = "")
{
var cValue = await GetCookie();
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(cValue)) return def;
var vals = cValue.Split(';');
foreach (var val in vals)
if(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(val) && val.IndexOf('=') > 0)
if(val.Substring(1, val.IndexOf('=') - 1).Trim().Equals(key, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
return val.Substring(val.IndexOf('=') + 1);
return def;
}
private async Task SetCookie(string value)
{
await JSRuntime.InvokeVoidAsync("eval", $"document.cookie = \"{value}\"");
}
private async Task<string> GetCookie()
{
return await JSRuntime.InvokeAsync<string>("eval", $"document.cookie");
}
public int ExpireDays
{
set => expires = DateToUTC(value);
}
private static string DateToUTC(int days) => DateTime.Now.AddDays(days).ToUniversalTime().ToString("R");
}
}
You can set default expire by ExpireDays
, and in SetValue()
set null
to days
for use default or set to 0
for session or number of days.
Then import to _import.razor
and add to service in Program.cs
:
builder.Services.AddScoped<ICookie, Cookie>();
For use:
@inject ICookie cookie
...
await cookie.SetValue("mytest20", "Hello Mohsen!");
_message = await cookie.GetValue("mytest20");
Enjoy it.
You can add javaScript
explained by @Flores in_Host.cshtml
inside <script>
tag.
<script>
window.blazorExtensions = {
WriteCookie: function (name, value, days) {
var expires;
if (days) {
var date = new Date();
date.setTime(date.getTime() + (days * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000));
expires = "; expires=" + date.toGMTString();
}
else {
expires = "";
}
document.cookie = name + "=" + value + expires + "; path=/";
}
}
</script>
You will have to use JS interop:
public async static Task WriteCookieAsync(string name, string value, int days)
{
var test = await JSRuntime.Current.InvokeAsync<object>("blazorExtensions.WriteCookie", name, value, days);
}
Starting with ASP.NET Core 3.0.0-preview3 ([Discussion] Microsoft.Interop.JSRuntime.Current has been removed), the Current property is not available, so use the following code:
var test = await JSRuntime.InvokeAsync<string>("blazorExtensions.WriteCookie", name, value, days);
Don't forget to inject IJSRuntime at the top:
@inject IJSRuntime JSRuntime
And this JS:
window.blazorExtensions = {
WriteCookie: function (name, value, days) {
var expires;
if (days) {
var date = new Date();
date.setTime(date.getTime() + (days * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000));
expires = "; expires=" + date.toGMTString();
}
else {
expires = "";
}
document.cookie = name + "=" + value + expires + "; path=/";
}
}
If you want to avoid the external script dependency
await jsRuntime.InvokeVoidAsync("eval", $"document.cookie = \"{cookieValue}\"")
Remains to properly escape the cookie value.
