import * as mod from "https://deno.land/std@0.211.0/http/mod.ts";

Provides a iterable map interfaces for managing cookies server side.

Examples

To access the keys in a request and have any set keys available for creating a response:

import {
  CookieMap,
  mergeHeaders
} from "https://deno.land/std@0.211.0/http/unstable_cookie_map.ts";

const request = new Request("https://localhost/", {
  headers: { "cookie": "foo=bar; bar=baz;"}
});

const cookies = new CookieMap(request, { secure: true });
console.log(cookies.get("foo")); // logs "bar"
cookies.set("session", "1234567", { secure: true });

const response = new Response("hello", {
  headers: mergeHeaders({
    "content-type": "text/plain",
  }, cookies),
});

To have automatic management of cryptographically signed cookies, you can use the SecureCookieMap instead of CookieMap. The biggest difference is that the methods operate async in order to be able to support async signing and validation of cookies:

import {
  SecureCookieMap,
  mergeHeaders,
  type KeyRing,
} from "https://deno.land/std@0.211.0/http/unstable_cookie_map.ts";

const request = new Request("https://localhost/", {
  headers: { "cookie": "foo=bar; bar=baz;"}
});

// The keys must implement the `KeyRing` interface.
declare const keys: KeyRing;

const cookies = new SecureCookieMap(request, { keys, secure: true });
console.log(await cookies.get("foo")); // logs "bar"
// the cookie will be automatically signed using the supplied key ring.
await cookies.set("session", "1234567");

const response = new Response("hello", {
  headers: mergeHeaders({
    "content-type": "text/plain",
  }, cookies),
});

In addition, if you have a Response or Headers for a response at construction of the cookies object, they can be passed and any set cookies will be added directly to those headers:

import { CookieMap } from "https://deno.land/std@0.211.0/http/unstable_cookie_map.ts";

const request = new Request("https://localhost/", {
  headers: { "cookie": "foo=bar; bar=baz;"}
});

const response = new Response("hello", {
  headers: { "content-type": "text/plain" },
});

const cookies = new CookieMap(request, { response });
console.log(cookies.get("foo")); // logs "bar"
cookies.set("session", "1234567");

Classes

c
Server
deprecated

Transforms server-sent message objects into strings for the client.

Variables

v
CookieMap
deprecated

Provides a way to manage cookies in a request and response on the server as a single iterable collection.

Symbol which is used in mergeHeaders to extract a [string | string][] from an instance to generate the final set of headers.

v
mergeHeaders
deprecated

Allows merging of various sources of headers into a final set of headers which can be used in a Response.

v
SecureCookieMap
deprecated

Contains the STATUS_CODE object which contains standard HTTP status codes and provides several type guards for handling status codes with type safety.

A record of all the status codes text.

Functions

Returns an array of media types accepted by the request, in order of preference. If there are no media types supplied in the request, then any media type selector will be returned.

Returns an array of content encodings accepted by the request, in order of preference. If there are no encoding supplied in the request, then ["*"] is returned, implying any encoding is accepted.

Returns an array of languages accepted by the request, in order of preference. If there are no languages supplied in the request, then ["*"] is returned, imply any language is accepted.

Calculate an ETag for an entity. When the entity is a specific set of data it will be fingerprinted as a "strong" tag, otherwise if it is just file information, it will be calculated as a weak tag.

Set the cookie header with empty value in the headers to delete it

Parse cookies of a header

Parse set-cookies of a header

A helper function that takes the value from the If-Match header and a calculated etag for the target. By using strong comparison, return true if the values match, otherwise false.

A helper function that takes the value from the If-None-Match header and a calculated etag for the target entity and returns false if the etag for the entity matches the supplied value, otherwise true.

A type guard that determines if the status code is a client error.

A type guard that determines if the status code is an error.

A type guard that determines if the status code is informational.

A type guard that determines if the status code is a redirection.

A type guard that determines if the status code is a server error.

A type guard that determines if the status code is successful.

Parses a signed cookie to get its value.

Set the cookie header properly in the headers

Returns a promise with the signed cookie value from the given cryptographic key.

Returns a promise of a boolean indicating whether the signed cookie is valid.
