biskviit

Yet another node module for handling http cookies. This module parses Set-Cookie header, stores the data to memory and returns valid value for Cookie header based on the stored cookie data.

> NB Requires Node.js v6+

Usage

Install from npm

npm install biskviit --save

Require as Biskviit

``javascript
const Biskviit = require('biskviit');
`

Create a cookie managing biskviit instance

`javascript
const biskviit = new Biskviit(options);
`

Where

* options is an optional options object with the following properties:
* sessionTimeout is the amount in seconds for default session length, used for cookies without an expire argument

Example

`javascript
const Biskviit = require('biskviit');
const biskviit = new Biskviit({
sessionTimeout: 5 * 60 // expire cookies after 5 minutes
});
`

$3

To add new cookies to the storage use set

`javascript
biskviit.set(cookieString, url)
`

Where

* cookieString is the value from the Set-Cookie: header
* url is the currently open URL that sent the cookie header

Example

`javascript
biskviit.set('theme=light', 'http://example.com/');
biskviit.set('sessionToken=abc123; Expires=Wed, 09 Jun 2021 10:18:14 GMT', 'http://example.com/');
`

$3

To list all available cookies for a specified URL use get

`javascript
const cookiesString = biskviit.get(url);
`

Where

* url is the URL the cookies are required for

Example

`javascript
const cookiesString = biskviit.get('http://example.com/');
// theme=light; sessionToken=abc123
`

$3

If you need to filter cookies as objects, use list

`javascript
const cookiesString = biskviit.list(url);
`

Where

* url is the URL the cookies are required for

Example

`javascript
const cookiesString = biskviit.list('http://example.com/');
// [{key: 'theme', value: 'light', expires: ...}, {key: 'sessionToken', value: 'abc123', expires: ...}]
