A simple Vue.js 3 plugin for handling browser cookies, forked from https://github.com/cmp-cc/vue-cookies

Installation

Package Managers

OR

yarn add vue3-cookies

Usage - via composition API (recommended):

// MyComponent.vue
<script>
import { useCookies } from "vue3-cookies";

export default defineComponent({
  setup() {
    const { cookies } = useCookies();
    return { cookies };
  },

  // <data, methods...>
  
  mounted() {
    let my_cookie_value = this.cookies.get("myCoookie");
    console.log(my_cookie_value);
    this.cookies.set("myCoookie", "abcdefg");
  }
}
</script>

Optional global cookies config:

// Optional - global config at main.ts / main.js
// <main.ts OR main.js>

import { globalCookiesConfig } from "vue3-cookies";

globalCookiesConfig({
  expireTimes: "30d",
  path: "/",
  domain: "",
  secure: true,
  sameSite: "None",
});

// <createApp(App).use(router).mount("#app");>, etc.

Usage - as vue plugin (legacy)

// es2015 module
import Vue from 'vue'
import VueCookies from 'vue3-cookies'

let app = createApp(App);
app.use(VueCookies);

// Or to set default config:
app.use(VueCookies, {
    expireTimes: "30d",
    path: "/",
    domain: "",
    secure: true,
    sameSite: "None"
});


// set global cookie in component:
this.$cookies.set('theme','default');
this.$cookies.set('hover-time','1s');

Api

syntax format: [this | Vue].$cookies.[method]

• Set a cookie

$cookies.set(keyName, value[, expireTimes[, path[, domain[, secure[, sameSite]]]]])   //return this

• Get a cookie

$cookies.get(keyName)  // return value                             

• Remove a cookie

$cookies.remove(keyName [, path [, domain]])  // return this

• Exist a cookie name

$cookies.isKey(keyName)  // return false or true

• Get All cookie name

$cookies.keys()  // return a array

Example Usage

set global config

// 30 day after, expire
app.use(VueCookies, {
    expireTimes: "30d",
});

// set secure, only https works
app.use(VueCookies, {
    expireTimes: "7d",
    secure: true,
});

// 2019-03-13 expire
app.use(VueCookies, {
    expireTimes: new Date(2019,03,13).toUTCString(),
});

// 30 day after, expire, '' current path , browser default
app.use(VueCookies, {
    expireTimes: 60 * 60 * 24 * 30,
    path: "",
});

support json object

var user = { id:1, name:'Journal',session:'25j_7Sl6xDq2Kc3ym0fmrSSk2xV2XkUkX' };
this.$cookies.set('user',user);
// print user name
console.log(this.$cookies.get('user').name)

set expire times

Suppose the current time is : Sat, 11 Mar 2017 12:25:57 GMT

Following equivalence: 1 day after, expire

Support chaining sets together

  // default expire time: 1 day
this.$cookies.set("user_session","25j_7Sl6xDq2Kc3ym0fmrSSk2xV2XkUkX")
        // number + d , ignore case
        .set("user_session","25j_7Sl6xDq2Kc3ym0fmrSSk2xV2XkUkX","1d")
        .set("user_session","25j_7Sl6xDq2Kc3ym0fmrSSk2xV2XkUkX","1D")
        // Base of second
        .set("user_session","25j_7Sl6xDq2Kc3ym0fmrSSk2xV2XkUkX",60 * 60 * 24)
        // input a Date, + 1day
        .set("user_session","25j_7Sl6xDq2Kc3ym0fmrSSk2xV2XkUkX", new Date(2017, 03, 12))
        // input a date string, + 1day
        .set("user_session","25j_7Sl6xDq2Kc3ym0fmrSSk2xV2XkUkX", "Sat, 13 Mar 2017 12:25:57 GMT")

set expire times, input number type

this.$cookies.set("default_unit_second","input_value",1);            // 1 second after, expire
this.$cookies.set("default_unit_second","input_value",60 + 30);      // 1 minute 30 second after, expire
this.$cookies.set("default_unit_second","input_value",60 * 60 * 12); // 12 hour after, expire
this.$cookies.set("default_unit_second","input_value",60 * 60 * 24 * 30); // 1 month after, expire

set expire times - end of browser session

this.$cookies.set("default_unit_second","input_value",0);          // end of session - use 0 or "0"!

set expire times , input string type

Unit	full name
y	year
m	month
d	day
h	hour
min	minute
s	second
