def [](name)
  super(name.to_s)
end

#[]=(key, options) ⇒ Object

def []=(key, options)
  if options.is_a?(Hash)
    options.symbolize_keys!
  else
    options = { :value => options }
  end

  options[:path] = "/" unless options.has_key?(:path)
  super(key.to_s, options[:value])
  @controller.response.set_cookie(key, options)
end

#delete(key, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Removes the cookie on the client machine by setting the value to an empty string and setting its expiration date into the past. Like []=, you can pass in an options hash to delete cookies with extra data such as a :path.

def delete(key, options = {})
  options.symbolize_keys!
  options[:path] = "/" unless options.has_key?(:path)
  value = super(key.to_s)
  @controller.response.delete_cookie(key, options)
  value
end

#permanent ⇒ Object

Returns a jar that’ll automatically set the assigned cookies to have an expiration date 20 years from now. Example:

cookies.permanent[:prefers_open_id] = true
# => Set-Cookie: prefers_open_id=true; path=/; expires=Sun, 16-Dec-2029 03:24:16 GMT

This jar is only meant for writing. You’ll read permanent cookies through the regular accessor.

This jar allows chaining with the signed jar as well, so you can set permanent, signed cookies. Examples:

cookies.permanent.signed[:remember_me] = current_user.id
# => Set-Cookie: discount=BAhU--848956038e692d7046deab32b7131856ab20e14e; path=/; expires=Sun, 16-Dec-2029 03:24:16 GMT

def permanent
  @permanent ||= PermanentCookieJar.new(self)
end

#signed ⇒ Object

Returns a jar that’ll automatically generate a signed representation of cookie value and verify it when reading from the cookie again. This is useful for creating cookies with values that the user is not supposed to change. If a signed cookie was tampered with by the user (or a 3rd party), an ActiveSupport::MessageVerifier::InvalidSignature exception will be raised.

This jar requires that you set a suitable secret for the verification on ActionController::Base.cookie_verifier_secret.

Example:

cookies.signed[:discount] = 45
# => Set-Cookie: discount=BAhpMg==--2c1c6906c90a3bc4fd54a51ffb41dffa4bf6b5f7; path=/

cookies.signed[:discount] # => 45
