Would setting maxAge to -1 not do it?

[dougwilson]

Even setting maxAge to 0 will work; I think the ask here is to have an API that is clear that the operation is to clear the cookie, instead of needed everyone to understand that setting a cookie that will immediately expire will do that.

@dougwilson Looking at the code, I think setting maxAge to 0 won't work as 0 is falsey - setting it to 0 means that it will be ignored. The code here does:

if (this.maxAge) this.expires = new Date(Date.now() + this.maxAge);

Waitting to add destory function to cookie.
