Cookie Plugin for jQuery

September 17th, 2006

Category:
JavaScript,
Web Development,
jQuery

I contributed a cookie plugin for jQuery yesterday. You can get it from the (Subversion) repository:

svn://jquery.com/plugins

Or get it here. A few simple examples of how to use it:

$.cookie('the_cookie'); // get cookie
$.cookie('the_cookie', 'the_value'); // set cookie
$.cookie('the_cookie', 'the_value', { expires: 7 }); // set cookie with an expiration date seven days in the future
$.cookie('the_cookie', '', { expires: -1 }); // delete cookie

You’ll find the complete documentation inline.

Update

Ralf Engelschall suggested on the jQuery mailing list, that it is more intuitive to delete a cookie by passing null as value:

$.cookie('the_cookie', null); // delete cookie

I agree and updated the plugin accordingly. The old syntax for deleting still works of course.

    a simple way to set up another plugin to do this (use my own feed perhaps)?
    Thanks.

  11. Hey Klaus,

    It works fine in IE 6 etc… My version of IE 5, 5.5, and 6 apparently don’t actually save cookies fine (because they are hacked versions to allow you to run all three versions on the same computer).

    My apologies.

  20. Good work. It’s interesting to use only one function, which gets or sets cookie depends on numbers of arguments. But I don’t find especial sense to bind up such functionality into jQuery.

    By the way, toGMTString() method is deprecated by the toUTCString().

    Comment by Eugene Janusov, March 31st, 2007 at 11:49 pm

  21. Author Comment

    Eugene, thanks, I’ve changed the plugin to use toUTCString. Of course there’s absolutely no need to bind such functionality into jQuery, but I think it is nicer to have that in a namespace instead of using global functions for example. It is also much easier to build your own jQuery distribution with this as plugin.

    Comment by Klaus, April 2nd, 2007 at 9:49 am

  22. Hi Klaus,
    I’m’ wondering if you can help me enjoy this plugin even more:
    1) is is possible to loop through cookies once created. E.g. I’d have thought something like $.cookie.each(function() { but it doesn’t seem to work
    2) the documentation explains how to find the value of a cookie if you know the name – $.cookie(’the_cookie’) – but is there a way to find the name of a cookie if I know the value?

    Thanks very much.

    Tim

    Comment by Tim Reader, April 19th, 2007 at 9:59 am

    Tim,

    loop through cookies and find by value (untested):

    $.each(document.cookie.split(';'), function(i, cookie) {
    var c = $.trim(cookie), name = c.split('=')[0], value = c.split('=')[1];
    if (value == 'whatever') {
        alert('The name is: ' + name);
    }
});

    Comment by Klaus, April 21st, 2007 at 10:30 am

  24. Hey Klaus,

    That loop through the cookies works really well. Just a little typo, though — the last line is missing the closing parenthesis. Should be });

    Will the expires parameter accept a conditional statement? If so, can you give an example?

    Adam – no it doesn’t (yet). It would have to take a function that gets evaluated. Sounds useful to me… I think I’m going to add that. Not right now though, no time.

  35. I may have missed the obvious, but how do we set the units of expiration,
    say for example to have the cookie expire in 4 hours?

    Comment by Stan, May 31st, 2007 at 2:09 pm

    In that case you have to pass a date object with its date set to 4 hours in the future.

  39. (greetings from san francisco)

    here is a quick script for saving the last five (or more) pages visited. it can probably be improved (to run automatically, to save time-on-each-page, etc), but it works.

    
function page_tracker() {
	// how many pages do we want to remember?
	var count = 5; // # of pages to remember
	var delim = "|"; // delimiter for pages in cookie

	// get the previous cookie (if any), split it into an array
	var visited = ($.cookie("page_tracker") || "").split(delim);
	// add the current page
	visited.push(location.href);
	// remove the oldest location(s), down to our limit
	if (visited.length > count) {
		visited = visited.slice(visited.length - count);
	}
	// set the new cookie
	$.cookie("page_tracker", visited.join(delim));
	return visited;
}

var pages_visited = page_tracker();

    $('#cartProducts')
    .append('' + productName + 'removeqty: 1price: £' + productPrice + '')
    .append('')
    .find('div.productCart:last')
    .fadeIn(400)
    .find('a')
    .bind(

    How would i use the cookie to then save that info and relay it onto subsequent pages??? Any pointers would be gratefully recieved!

    I’m terrible with JS, but I’m trying anyway. I use your cookie plugin on a WP theme and it works. But the thing is, for the time being, it keeps the cookie for each page.
    What I would like it to give me, is only one cookie for the whole blog. How can I do that?
    Thanks.

    You need to set the appropriate cookie attributes, in your case the path:

    $.cookie('name', 'value', { path: '/' });

    Which options are available is completely documented in the source.

    Comment by Klaus, July 16th, 2007 at 10:41 am

  48. Thanks for your answer. I had tried this option but with ” instead of with ‘/’. My bad…

  51. I am new to JS, and trying to build a basic session management system.

    I am trying to run the cookie example, and it gives the value of the cookie as ‘the_value’. I am looking to extract the exact value of the cookie and not just ‘the_value’. Please help.

    Also, would it be possible for you to point me to usable code samples, where I can build a basic framework for authentication and then allows users to build their profiles etc.

    Thanks

    //$.cookie(’the_cookie’); // get cookie
    //$.cookie(’the_cookie’, ‘the_value’); // set cookie

    $.cookie(’the_cookie’, ‘the_value’, { expires: 7, path:’/'}); // set cookie with an expiration date seven days in the future

    alert($.cookie(’the_value’));

    $.each(document.cookie.split(’;'), function(i, cookie) {
    var c = $.trim(cookie), name = c.split(’=')[0], value = c.split(’=')[1]
    // if (value == null) {

  56. question about retrieving the values in a cookie. I’m getting the cookie created and I can see the values are in it. I have a form that I’m using the cookie to store the values and then I want to put the values on a printable form for the user to print out. I can see the cookie’s value see in quotes:
    “name1%3Dtest%26address1%3D123%2520street%26city1%3D%26state1%3D%26zipcode1%3D%26phone1%3D%26phone2%3D%26fax%3D%26email1%3D%26amount%3D%26date%3D%26question1%3Dtest%26question2%3D%26question3%3D%26question4%3D%26question5%3D”

    so this has the label field name (name1) and “test” is the value, label field name (address1) and the value “123 street”, etc…. as you can see the other values are blank. How do I retrieve the values to put on the form to print?

    thanks for your help. This may be an easy question since I haven’t used javascript much – but am learning. thanks again!

    Comment by Tree Peterson, August 29th, 2007 at 5:49 pm

  57. @Tree Peterson: You’re essentially storing a serialized object inside the cookie.

    var cookieData = decodeURIComponent($.cookie(’formData’));
    //decodeURIComponent() turns the %’s into characters
    var nameValPairs = cookieData.split(’&’); //an array of ‘name=value’
    var formData = {}; //init object (hash)
    var namVal; //good practice to declare all vars
    for (var i = nameValPairs.length; –i >= 0; ) {
    namVal = nameValPairs[i].split(’=');
    formData[namVal[0]] = namVal[1];
    }
    //formData['nameOfField'] now contains that field’s data!

  61. If anyone is having problems using this to delete a cookie, keep in mind that you have to use the same path and domain used when the cookie was set. In other words, if the cookie was set using this:

    $.cookie("myCookie", "cookie value", {path: "/"});

    it cannot be deleted using this:

    $.cookie("myCookie", null);

    In this case, it must be deleted using this:

    $.cookie("myCookie", null, {path: "/"});

    Hope this helps anyone who is debugging weird cookie issues.

This caused confusion for me because, when I read a cookie, it was retrieved just find, but when I went to update that same cookie, the changes didn’t “stick.” I’ve updated the source code to make this functionality work.

    Comment by SeanG, October 25th, 2007 at 4:36 pm

  68. My environment is a PC with Tomcat and IE6 both resident. I am trying to write a JavaScript to determine if cookies are enabled, and if not, show a message saying that cookie are required.

    First I disable cookies in IE6 (Tools->Internet Options, Privacy, Advanced, check ‘Override automatic cookie handling’, select radio buttons for First-Party Cookies ‘block’ and Third-Party Cookies ‘block’.)
    Now I want to write a JavaScript test to see if cookies are enabled or disabled. So I use:

    $j.cookie('testcookiesenabled', null);
    $j.cookie('testcookiesenabled', 'enabled');
    if ($j.cookie('testcookiesenabled')) {
    alert("Cookies enabled");
    alert("Cookie: "+$j.cookie('testcookiesenabled'));
    } else {
    alert("Cookies disabled");
    addErrorMessage("To use this site, please enable cookies");
    }

    However, even though I have disabled cookies in IE6, I still get the alert for “Cookies enabled.” Furthermore, the next alert shows the value I set in the cookie, ‘enabled’, so it’s clear that the cookie was set, even though I disabled cookies.
    Does anyone see what I am doing wrong?

    Comment by David Barker, October 29th, 2007 at 9:39 pm

  69. I found my issue. It turns out that when IE6 is retrieving http requests from localhost, the intranet settings to not apply.
    To bypass this, go to Tools->Internet Options, Security tab, select Local Intranet, then Sites. Uncheck both the ‘Include all local (intranet) sites not listed in other zones’ and ‘Include all sites that bypass the pwoxy server.’ Then block the cookies using Internet Options, Privacy, Advanced, Check ‘Override automatic cookie handling’ and choose ‘block’ for both First-Party and Third-Party sites.

    Now cookies are truly blocked.

  90. Hi Klaus,

    I’m using your cookie plugin, but having trouble getting it to work. I have 3 tabs, but when I refresh, it returns to the first tab each time instead of staying on the tab before the refresh. Here’s a snippet of my code:

    …var tab_to_select = $(’#tab_’ + $.cookie(’last_selected_tab’));
    if (tab_to_select.length == 1)
    {
    tab_to_select.click();
    }
    else
    {
    // Select first tab
    $(’#cont-nav #nav li’).slice(0,1).click();
    }
    });

    …

    var show_tab = function()
    {
    var clicked_tab = $(this);
    var tab_id = clicked_tab.attr(’id’).substring(4);
    var tab_title = clicked_tab.text();
    $.cookie(’last_selected_tab’, tab_id, {expires: 7});
    $(’#cont-nav #nav li’).removeClass(’active’);
    clicked_tab.addClass(’active’);
    current_tab_id = tab_id;
    …

  92. Update:

    I’ve fixed it :-) I changed ’last_selected_tab’ to ‘clicked_tab’ and hey presto, it worked. Maybe this will help someone else in the future.

    …
    var tab_to_select = $(’#tab_’ + $.cookie(’clicked_tab’));
    …

    var show_tab = function()
    {
    var clicked_tab = $(this);
    var tab_id = clicked_tab.attr(’id’).substring(4);
    var tab_title = clicked_tab.text();
    $.cookie(’clicked_tab’, tab_id, {expires: 7});
    $(’#cont-nav #nav li’).removeClass(’active’);
    clicked_tab.addClass(’active’);
    current_tab_id = tab_id;

    Thanks again,

    Darren.

    The zip file contains the others, which are differently packed to decrease file size. You may want to have a look into the source and at their file size. Other than that, the first three are the same (functionality-wise).

    @Paul: Do to that… when a user clicks a tab, set the cookie. When the page loads in the future, read the cookie, and set the active tab depending on the cookie value. Good luck!

  107. Good work!

    One question I have is does the plugin handle cookie sub-keys? The ASP response.cookie method allows the storage of cookies under one key

    response.cookie (”SubKey”) (”Value1″)
    response.cookie (”SubKey”) (”Value2″)

    Rather than have to parse all of this it would be fantastic if your plugin intrinsically handled this.

    I’m setting a cookie like this!

    $.cookie('font_size', fontSize, { path: '/', domain: 'localhost', } );

    It sets a cookie for my root-path, but only if the call comes from a root-path document, if the call comes from a non-root-path document it will be set to the document path. E.g.:
    localhost->path: ‘/’
    localhost/cms/services = path: ‘/cms/’

    But i just need the cookie for the root-path!

    Is this a bug or am i doing sth. wrong?!

  127. Unfortunately, this cookie script appears to suffer from a severe bug. I found that it creates multiple copies of the same cookie, rather than changing the original cookie value. I guess this may be because the script lacks a default, domain-wide path setting.

    Regardless of the reason, it caused my site-wide settings to change from page to page. Now, this could be because I should have specified a path; nevertheless, the script is harmful when used “out the box”.

    I reverted to using the quirksmode cookie script, and the problem vanished.

    To be honest, I can’t see the advantage of using Klaus’s script. Both scripts are only a few lines of code, but PPK’s (quirksmode) script works flawlessly whereas Klaus’s is buggy (at least for a naive user, such as I). The syntax for PPK’s script is actually shorter.

    Unless you’re obsessed by the dollar sign — $.cookie(”fanboy”, “jQuery syntax is so cool I have to use it all the time”) — I recommend you stick to the old quirksmode script.

    Sorry Klaus. A+ for effort, but your script broke my website.

    Suit yourself. You’re welcome to ignore my bug report; I’m only trying to help.

    Yes, your script DID break my website. It’s a simple test: after replacing your script with PPK’s, the cookie settings worked again. I changed nothing else: just the cookie script.

  133. Author Comment

    Mike, first of all it was your comment that had an aggressive tone. Second, it is pretty well documented that the path is not set automatically and I had my reasons to make it like that (I simply decided to not alter a browsers default behavior). Third, I couldn’t believe that a simple, but well written script would actually break the intarwebs. Feel free to use PPK’s script, you can be pretty sure that his scripts are very well done. But instead of ranting here you could also just have added the path to your scripts.

    In jQuery world we’re indeed obsessed with the dollar sign – which is just an alias for jQuery. I simply use it as a namespace to not pollute the global one and also because for a jQuery user it is most intuitive to find helper methods in this namespace (like $.ajax etc.).

  138. Klaus, this is a great script. I’ve decided to revisit it, to solve a problem I just cannot seem to find the silver bullet for across the internet.

    I am working on an intranet, which has a front page, containing various draggable panels. Essentially, a 3 column layout, with X number of panels that can be maximised, minimised, as well as moved from one column to another.

    Although this works, I cannot seem to get the layout to be saved to a cookie. I know that the layout can be serialised into a single cookie variable, but how to expand it out again.

    I’ve noticed other users across various websites and forums having this issue in one way or another, without any cast iron solution being published.

    Perhaps yourself or one of your visitors can point me in the right direction. This issue has bugged me since March this year, it would be nice to solve it once and for all. Thanks in advance!

  140. Heya,

    Have you got any complete newbie guide? Never worked with cookies before and would like to ask if you could post a minor example that saves the current shown pharagraph of two.

    $(”a#menu”).hover(function () {
    $(”p.inner, p.foot-inner”).toggle(”slide”, {}, 1000);
    });

    Html build:
    Something 1
    Something 2

    This matches Something 1
    This matches Something 1

    Now how can I add a cookie so that when I hover over the
    so that it saves the current hovered pharagraph.

    @Mari Set a session cookie by omitting the expires option. Set expiration in hours or minutes by passing a Date object to the expires option (both is supported, the number of days or a Date object), for example create a Date (which then is “now”) and add 1 hour.

  149. I’ve written a simple bookmarklet, with using of your plugin. Here’s part of code:
    …
    jQuery.cookie(’xb_qnote_’+qNoteID, qNoteElm.attr(’value’), { expires: 60 });
    …

    Despite I’ve clearly defined that I’d like the cookie to expire in 60 days, Firefox 3 still says:
    …
    Expires: at end of session
    …

    How can I create longer cookies?…

  150. I am trying to find out if you want the cookie to NEVER expire or do they after an X amount of time anyway, if you do not set a expire date.

    Thanks,

    Ryan

    Great plugin by the way! Nice job. Thank you for sharing it with us

    @Vladimir, looks good to me, can’t really tell what is going wrong. Not sure if you can set cookies after loading the bookmarklet on any page. Have you checked the standard way (document.cookie = ...) just to make sure my plugin is causing this?

    @Ryan, if you den’t set an expiration date you get a session cookie. There’s nothing like an option that says “never expire”, I suggest simply setting the date to a few years in the future, that should be sufficient.
