Cookie Genie is a lightweight library for managing cookies in browser using JavaScript or TypeScript. It provides methods to get and set cookies with optional parameters such as expiration date, path, domain, and secure.

This package is a revamped version of original cookie-cutter package.

Installation

You can install Cookie Genie via npm or yarn:

npm install cookie-genie

or

yarn add cookie-genie

Usage

import cookieGenie from "cookie-genie";

// Create a cookieGenie instance
const cookie = cookieGenie();

// Set a cookie
cookie.set("cookieName", "cookieValue", {
  expires: new Date(Date.now() + 3600000),
  path: "/",
  domain: "example.com",
});

// Get a cookie
const value = cookie.get("cookieName");
console.log(value); // Outputs: 'cookieValue'

See example for commonjs implementation using browserify.
