Prerequisites

This package depends on @angular v9.0.0.

Getting started

Installation

Install @ngx-utils/cookies from npm:

npm install @ngx-utils/cookies --save

browser.module.ts

Add BrowserCookiesModule to your browser module:

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { BrowserCookiesModule } from '@ngx-utils/cookies/browser';
...
import { AppModule } from './app/app.module';
import { AppComponent } from './app/app.component';
...
@NgModule({
  imports: [
    BrowserModule.withServerTransition({appId: 'your-app-id'}),
    BrowserCookiesModule.forRoot(),
    AppModule
    ...
  ],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class BrowserAppModule { }

server.module.ts

Add ServerCookiesModule to your server module:

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { ServerModule } from '@angular/platform-server';
import { ServerCookiesModule } from '@ngx-utils/cookies/server';
...
import { AppModule } from './app/app.module';
import { AppComponent } from './app/app.component';
...
@NgModule({
  imports: [
    BrowserModule.withServerTransition({ appId: 'your-app-id' }),
    ServerModule,
    ServerCookiesModule.forRoot(),
    AppModule
    ...
  ],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class ServerAppModule { }

Cookies options

You can preset cookies options:

BrowserCookiesModule.forRoot({
  path: '/',
  domain: 'your.domain',
  expires: '01.01.2020',
  secure: true,
  httpOnly: true
})
...
ServerCookiesModule.forRoot({
  path: '/',
  domain: 'your.domain',
  expires: '01.01.2020',
  secure: true,
  httpOnly: true
})

API

CookieService has following methods:

• put(key: string, value: string, options?: CookiesOptions): void put some value to cookies;
• putObject(key: string, value: Object, options?: CookiesOptions): void put object value to cookies;
• get(key: string): string get some value from cookies by key;
• getObject(key: string): { [key: string]: string } | string get object value from cookies by key;
• getAll(): { [key: string]: string } get all cookies ;
• remove(key: string, options?: CookiesOptions): void remove cookie by key;
• removeAll(): void remove all cookies;

Example of usage

If you're using express as server then add following code to your server.ts:

import { renderModuleFactory } from "@angular/platform-server";
import { provideModuleMap } from "@nguniversal/module-map-ngfactory-loader";
import * as cookieParser from "cookie-parser";

app.use(cookieParser("Your private token"));

app.engine("html", (_, options, callback) => {
  renderModuleFactory(AppServerModuleNgFactory, {
    document: template,
    url: options.req.url,
    extraProviders: [
      provideModuleMap(LAZY_MODULE_MAP),
      {
        provide: "REQUEST",
        useValue: options.req
      },
      {
        provide: "RESPONSE",
        useValue: options.req.res
      }
    ]
  }).then(html => {
    callback(null, html);
  });
});

Then just import CookiesService from @ngx-utils/cookies and use it:

import { Component, OnInit } from "@angular/core";
import { CookiesService } from "@ngx-utils/cookies";

@Component({
  selector: "app-root",
  templateUrl: "./app.component.html",
  styleUrls: ["./app.component.scss"]
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
  constructor(private cookies: CookiesService) {}

  ngOnInit() {
    this.cookies.put("some_cookie", "some_cookie");
    this.cookies.put("http_only_cookie", "http_only_cookie", {
      httpOnly: true
    });
    console.log(this.cookies.get("some_cookie"), " => some_cookie");
    console.log(this.cookies.get("http_only_cookie"), " => undefined");
    console.log(this.cookies.getAll());
  }
}

If you're using another framework you need to overrride ServerCookiesService.

For example for koa you need add following code to your server:

app.use(async (ctx: Context) => {
  ctx.body = await renderModuleFactory(AppServerModuleNgFactory, {
    document: template,
    url: ctx.req.url,
    extraProviders: [
      provideModuleMap(LAZY_MODULE_MAP),
      {
        provide: "KOA_CONTEXT",
        useValue: ctx
      }
    ]
  });
});

Then create server-cookies.service.ts:

import { Context } from "koa";
import { Inject, Injectable } from "@angular/core";
import {
  CookiesService,
  CookiesOptionsService,
  CookiesOptions
} from "@ngx-utils/cookies";

@Injectable()
export class ServerCookiesService extends CookiesService {
  private newCookies: { [name: string]: string | undefined } = {};

  constructor(
    cookiesOptions: CookiesOptionsService,
    @Inject("KOA_CONTEXT") private ctx: Context
  ) {
    super(cookiesOptions);
  }

  get(key: string): string {
    return this.newCookies[key] || this.ctx.cookies.get(key);
  }

  protected cookiesReader() {
    return {};
  }

  protected cookiesWriter(): (
    name: string,
    value: string | undefined,
    options?: CookiesOptions
  ) => void {
    return (name: string, value: string | undefined, options?: any) => {
      this.newCookies[name] = value;
      this.ctx.cookies.set(name, value, { httpOnly: false, ...options });
    };
  }
}

And add server-cookies.service.ts to app.server.module.ts:

{
  provide: CookiesService,
  useClass: ServerCookiesService,
},
