API reference

cookie

Use cookie when you need a small dependency-free parser and serializer for request cookies and response Set-Cookie values.

cookie

Cookie parse and serialize helpers with the same API shape as the default export and named functions.

Import

import { cookie } from '@stackpress/lib';

const { parse, serialize } = cookie;

If you prefer named access inside your own wrapper, read the methods from the default export. The package does not expose parse and serialize as separate root-level named exports.

When To Use It

Use cookie when you need a small dependency-free parser and serializer for request cookies and response Set-Cookie values.

API

parse(serial, options?)

Parses a request cookie header into Record<string, string | undefined> .

const session = cookie.parse('sessionId=abc123; user=ada');

The optional decode function in CookieParseOptions overrides value decoding.

serialize(name, value, options?)

Builds one Set-Cookie value.

const header = cookie.serialize('sessionId', 'abc123', {
  httpOnly: true,
  sameSite: 'strict',
  path: '/'
});

Supported options come from CookieSerializeOptions and include:

  • domain
  • encode
  • expires
  • httpOnly
  • maxAge
  • partitioned
  • path
  • priority
  • sameSite
  • secure

Example

import { cookie } from '@stackpress/lib';

const cookies = cookie.parse('theme=dark; sessionId=abc123');

const setCookie = cookie.serialize('theme', 'light', {
  path: '/',
  maxAge: 3600
});
