Example Usage
#### set global config
`
// 30 day after, expire
Vue.$cookies.config('30d')
// set secure, only https works
Vue.$cookies.config('7d','','',true)
// 2019-03-13 expire
this.$cookies.config(new Date(2019,03,13).toUTCString())
// 30 day after, expire, '' current path , browser default
this.$cookies.config(60 60 24 * 30,'');
`
#### 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
` javascript
// 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"!
`
