Overview

Class Cookie governs the writing and accessing of cookies in the browser.

A cookie is a key-value pair stored by your browser as text data. If you know a cookie’s key, you can read or overwrite its value, or reassign any of a number of parameters.

Instances of class Cookie are temporary holders for browser-based cookie data. When you create a new Cookie object using Cookie.new or update an existing Cookie object using Cookie#update, class Cookie writes the key-value pair and the cookie’s parameters to the browser’s cookie file. You can then read the value of the cookie immediately or during subsequent visits using Cookie.read.

The following parameters can be set for a Cookie object:

Required

key

The unique (per domain) identifier by which you identify a cookie.

value

The string of data associated with a given key.

Optional

duration

The amount of time (in days) before the cookie should expire.

domain

The domain to which the cookie should be sent.

path

The path, relative to the domain, where the cookie is active.

secure

If true, the browser will use SSL when sending the cookie.

The browser can hold up to 20 cookies from a single domain.

Constructor Details

#initialize(key, value, options = {}) ⇒ Cookie

call-seq:

Cookie.new(key, value, options = {}) -> cookie

Returns a new Cookie object with the given parameters and stores the data in the browser as cookie data. If the browser already has a cookie that matches key, that cookie’s parameters will be overwritten.

Cookie.new(:user_jds, '2237115568')   #=> #<Cookie: @key="user_jds" @value="2237115568">
Cookie.read(:user_jds)                #=> '2237115568'

Cookie.new(:user_jds, '8557acb0')     #=> #<Cookie: @key="user_jds" @value="8557acb0">
Cookie.read(:user_jds)                #=> '8557acb0'

Class Method Details

.read(key) ⇒ Object

call-seq:

Cookie.read(key) -> string

Returns the string value of the cookie named key, or nil if no such cookie exists.

c = Cookie.new(:user_jds, '2237115568', :domain => '.example.com')

Cookie.read(:user_jds)   #=> '2237115568'

This method can be used to test whether a cookie with the name key exists in the browser.

Cookie.new(:user_jds, '8557acb0') unless Cookie.read(:user_jds)

def self.read(key)
  value = `#{OPTIONS[:document].native}.cookie.match('(?:^|;)\\s*' + #{Regexp.escape(key)}.__value__ + '=([^;]*)')`
  return value ? `$q(decodeURIComponent(value[1]))` : nil
end

.store(cookie) ⇒ Object

call-seq:

Cookie.store(cookie) -> cookie

Writes the given cookie to the browser, then returns cookie. This method is called internally by Cookie.new and Cookie#update.

Instance Method Details
