Small Cookies JavaScript Helper

Tweaking cookies in a snap, nothing else required

This is a tiny bit of robust JavaScript functionality that lets you tweak cookies from within your web page in very little code, without needing any other library. It does not clash with any major JS framework, although it does share a namespace with MooTool’s Cookie utility.

Targeted platforms

This code has been tested on the following browsers:

• Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows, version 6.0 and higher
• Mozilla Firefox 1.5 and higher
• Apple Safari 2.0.4 and higher
• Opera 9.25 and higher
• Chrome 1.0 and higher

Using this helper

Download the latest release from the repository (http://github.com/tdd/cookies-js-helper) and copy src/cookies.js to a suitable location. Then include it in your HTML like so:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/path/to/cookies.js"></script>

Documentation

The code is fairly straightforward, there are basically five methods in the Cookie namespace: get, set, remove, list and test.

For full details, look at the inline documentation before each method body.

Feedback

Feedback is encouraged through GitHub comments and tickets!
