ezcookie

ezcookie is a lightweight jQuery plugin for storing cookies. It makes use of "subcookies" to store multiple key/value pairs in a single cookie, and also supports storing JSON data.

Installation

ezcookie comes in four flavors:

• jquery.ezcookie.js
• jquery.ezcookie.min.js
• jquery.ezcookie.no_json.js
• jquery.ezcookie.no_json.min.js

In most cases, jquery.ezcookie.min.js is your best bet, but if your application is already using Douglas Crockford's json2.js and you don't want to include it twice, use one of the smaller no_json versions.

Usage

//  Set a cookie's value
// 'value' can be a string or an object
$.setCookie(name,value,{options});

// Get a cookie's value.
// JSON cookies are auto-detected and returned as objects.
$.getCookie(name);

// Set a name/value pair (or "sub-cookie") within a cookie.
// 'value' can be a string or an object
$.setSubCookie(name,key,value,{options});

// Get a sub-cookie's value.
// JSON cookies are auto-detected and returned as objects.
$.getSubCookie(name,subName);

// Remove the key/value pair of the given sub-cookie.
$.removeSubCookie(name,subName);

// Set the given cookie to an empty string and set it to expire.
$.removeCookie(name);

// Sets the given cookie to an empty string without expiring it.
$.clearCookie(name);

=== Options

• expires - Sets the expiration date of the cookie. Takes the number of days from present or a date. Default is -1.
• domain - The domain to be used for the cookie. Default is an empty string.
• secure - Boolean value to use secure cookies. Default is false.
• path - Optional cookie path. Default is "/".

Contributing

ezCookie is written in coffeescript, and uses cake to concatenate the source coffee files together into a single javascript file.

Minification is supported by Google's Closure Compile.
