react-cookie

Universal cookies for React

Integrations

• universal-cookie - Universal cookies for JavaScript
• universal-cookie-express - Hook cookies get/set on Express for server-rendering

Minimum requirement

react-cookie @ v3.0+

• React.js >= 16.3.0 (new context API + forward ref)

react-cookie @ v0.0-v2.2

• React.js >= 15

Getting started

npm install react-cookie

or in the browser (global variable ReactCookie):

``

Set the user cookies

On the server, the cookies props must be set using req.universalCookies or new Cookie(cookieHeader)

• defaultSetOptions: You can set default values for when setting cookies.

useCookies([dependencies], [options])

Access and modify cookies using React hooks.

const [cookies, setCookie, removeCookie] = useCookies(['cookie-name']);

React hooks are available starting from React 16.8

dependencies (optional)

Let you optionally specify a list of cookie names your component depend on or that should trigger a re-render. If unspecified, it will render on every cookie change.

options (optional)

• options (object):
  • doNotParse (boolean): do not convert the cookie into an object no matter what
  • doNotUpdate (boolean): do not update the cookies when the component mounts

const [cookies, setCookie, removeCookie] = useCookies(['cookie-name'], {
  doNotParse: true,
});

cookies

Javascript object with all your cookies. The key is the cookie name.

setCookie(name, value, [options])

Set a cookie value

• name (string): cookie name
• value (string|object): save the value and stringify the object if needed
• options (object): Support all the cookie options from RFC 6265
  • path (string): cookie path, use / as the path if you want your cookie to be accessible on all pages
  • expires (Date): absolute expiration date for the cookie
  • maxAge (number): relative max age of the cookie from when the client receives it in seconds
  • domain (string): domain for the cookie (sub.domain.com or .allsubdomains.com)
  • secure (boolean): Is only accessible through HTTPS?
  • httpOnly (boolean): Can only the server access the cookie? Note: You cannot get or set httpOnly cookies from the browser, only the server.
  • sameSite (boolean|none|lax|strict): Strict or Lax enforcement
  • partitioned (boolean): Indicates that the cookie should be stored using partitioned storage

removeCookie(name, [options])

Remove a cookie

• name (string): cookie name
• options (object): Support all the cookie options from RFC 6265
  • path (string): cookie path, use / as the path if you want your cookie to be accessible on all pages
  • expires (Date): absolute expiration date for the cookie
  • maxAge (number): relative max age of the cookie from when the client receives it in seconds
  • domain (string): domain for the cookie (sub.domain.com or .allsubdomains.com)
  • secure (boolean): Is only accessible through HTTPS?
  • httpOnly (boolean): Can only the server access the cookie? Note: You cannot get or set httpOnly cookies from the browser, only the server.
  • sameSite (boolean|none|lax|strict): Strict or Lax enforcement
  • partitioned (boolean): Indicates that the cookie should be stored using partitioned storage

updateCookies()

Read back the cookies from the browser and triggers the change listeners. This should normally not be necessary because this library detects cookie changes automatically.

withCookies(Component)

Give access to your cookies anywhere. Add the following props to your component:

• cookies: Cookies instance allowing you to get, set and remove cookies.
• allCookies: All your current cookies in an object.

Your original static properties will be hoisted on the returned component. You can also access the original component by using the WrappedComponent static property. Example:

function MyComponent() {
  return null;
}
const NewComponent = withCookies(MyComponent);
NewComponent.WrappedComponent === MyComponent;

Simple Example with React hooks

// Root.jsx
import React from 'react';
import App from './App';
import { CookiesProvider } from 'react-cookie';

export default function Root() {
  return (
    
      
    
  );
}

// App.jsx
import React from 'react';
import { useCookies } from 'react-cookie';

import NameForm from './NameForm';

function App() {
  const [cookies, setCookie] = useCookies(['name']);

  function onChange(newName) {
    setCookie('name', newName);
  }

  return (
    <div>
      
      {cookies.name &amp;&amp; <h1>Hello {cookies.name}!</h1>}
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

Simple Example with Higher-Order Component

// Root.jsx
import React from 'react';
import App from './App';
import { CookiesProvider } from 'react-cookie';

export default function Root() {
  return (
    
      
    
  );
}

// App.jsx
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { instanceOf } from 'prop-types';
import { withCookies, Cookies } from 'react-cookie';

import NameForm from './NameForm';

class App extends Component {
  static propTypes = {
    cookies: instanceOf(Cookies).isRequired,
  };

  constructor(props) {
    super(props);

    const { cookies } = props;
    this.state = {
      name: cookies.get('name') || 'Ben',
    };
  }

  handleNameChange(name) {
    const { cookies } = this.props;

    cookies.set('name', name, { path: '/' });
    this.setState({ name });
  }

  render() {
    const { name } = this.state;

    return (
      <div>
        
        {this.state.name &amp;&amp; <h1>Hello {this.state.name}!</h1>}
      </div>
    );
  }
}

export default withCookies(App);

Server-Rendering Example

// src/components/App.js
import React from 'react';
import { useCookies } from 'react-cookie';

import NameForm from './NameForm';

function App() {
  const [cookies, setCookie] = useCookies(['name']);

  function onChange(newName) {
    setCookie('name', newName, { path: '/' });
  }

  return (
    <div>
      
      {cookies.name &amp;&amp; <h1>Hello {cookies.name}!</h1>}
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

// src/server.js
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOMServer from 'react-dom/server';
import { CookiesProvider } from 'react-cookie';

import Html from './components/Html';
import App from './components/App';

export default function middleware(req, res) {
  const markup = ReactDOMServer.renderToString(
    
      
    ,
  );

  const html = ReactDOMServer.renderToStaticMarkup();

  res.send('' + html);
}

// src/client.js
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { CookiesProvider } from 'react-cookie';

import App from './components/App';

const appEl = document.getElementById('main-app');

ReactDOM.render(
  
    
  ,
  appEl,
);

// server.js
require('@babel/register');

const express = require('express');
const serverMiddleware = require('./src/server').default;
const cookiesMiddleware = require('universal-cookie-express');

const app = express();

app
  .use('/assets', express.static('dist'))
  .use(cookiesMiddleware())
  .use(serverMiddleware);

app.listen(8080, function () {
  console.log('Listening on 8080...');
});
