javascript what value do cookies return code example
Example 1: javascript cookies
function setCookie(cname, cvalue, exdays=999) {
var d = new Date();
d.setTime(d.getTime() + (exdays * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000));
var expires = "expires="+d.toUTCString();
document.cookie = cname + "=" + cvalue + ";" + expires + ";path=/";
}
function getCookie(cname) {
var name = cname + "=";
var ca = document.cookie.split(';');
for(var i = 0; i < ca.length; i++) {
var c = ca[i];
while (c.charAt(0) == ' ') {
c = c.substring(1);
}
if (c.indexOf(name) == 0) {
return c.substring(name.length, c.length);
}
}
return "";
}
Example 2: set and get cookie in javascript
For storing array inside cookie :
-----------------------------------
setter : var json_str = JSON.stringify(arr); cookie.set('mycookie', json_str);
getter : cookie.get('mycookie'); var arr = JSON.parse(json_str);
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Function common for all type of variable :
==========================================
let cookie = {
set: function(name, value) {
document.cookie = name+"="+value;
},
get: function(name) {
let nameEQ = name + "=";
let ca = document.cookie.split(';');
for( let i = 0; i < ca.length; i++ ) {
let c = ca[i];
while (c.charAt(0)==' ') c = c.substring(1,c.length);
if (c.indexOf(nameEQ) == 0) return c.substring(nameEQ.length,c.length);
}
return null;
}
}
