# Cookies
|
||||
|
||||
Cookies are pieces of data which persist inside a user's browser. Sanic can
|
||||
both read and write cookies, which are stored as key-value pairs.
|
||||
|
||||
## Reading cookies
|
||||
|
||||
A user's cookies can be accessed via the `Request` object's `cookies` dictionary.
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from sanic.response import text
|
||||
|
||||
@app.route("/cookie")
|
||||
async def test(request):
|
||||
test_cookie = request.cookies.get('test')
|
||||
return text("Test cookie set to: {}".format(test_cookie))
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Writing cookies
|
||||
|
||||
When returning a response, cookies can be set on the `Response` object.
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from sanic.response import text
|
||||
|
||||
@app.route("/cookie")
|
||||
async def test(request):
|
||||
response = text("There's a cookie up in this response")
|
||||
response.cookies['test'] = 'It worked!'
|
||||
response.cookies['test']['domain'] = '.gotta-go-fast.com'
|
||||
response.cookies['test']['httponly'] = True
|
||||
return response
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Deleting cookies
|
||||
|
||||
Cookies can be removed semantically or explicitly.
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from sanic.response import text
|
||||
|
||||
@app.route("/cookie")
|
||||
async def test(request):
|
||||
response = text("Time to eat some cookies muahaha")
|
||||
|
||||
# This cookie will be set to expire in 0 seconds
|
||||
del response.cookies['kill_me']
|
||||
|
||||
# This cookie will self destruct in 5 seconds
|
||||
response.cookies['short_life'] = 'Glad to be here'
|
||||
response.cookies['short_life']['max-age'] = 5
|
||||
del response.cookies['favorite_color']
|
||||
|
||||
# This cookie will remain unchanged
|
||||
response.cookies['favorite_color'] = 'blue'
|
||||
response.cookies['favorite_color'] = 'pink'
|
||||
del response.cookies['favorite_color']
|
||||
|
||||
return response
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Response cookies can be set like dictionary values and have the following
|
||||
parameters available:
|
||||
|
||||
- `expires` (datetime): The time for the cookie to expire on the
|
||||
client's browser.
|
||||
- `path` (string): The subset of URLs to which this cookie applies. Defaults to /.
|
||||
- `comment` (string): A comment (metadata).
|
||||
- `domain` (string): Specifies the domain for which the cookie is valid. An
|
||||
explicitly specified domain must always start with a dot.
|
||||
- `max-age` (number): Number of seconds the cookie should live for.
|
||||
- `secure` (boolean): Specifies whether the cookie will only be sent via
|
||||
HTTPS.
|
||||
- `httponly` (boolean): Specifies whether the cookie cannot be read by
|
||||
Javascript.

Cookies
|
||||
=======
|
||||
|
||||
Cookies are pieces of data which persist inside a user's browser. Sanic can
|
||||
both read and write cookies, which are stored as key-value pairs.
|
||||
|
||||
.. warning::
|
||||
|
||||
Cookies can be freely altered by the client. Therefore you cannot just store
|
||||
data such as login information in cookies as-is, as they can be freely altered
|
||||
by the client. To ensure data you store in cookies is not forged or tampered
|
||||
with by the client, use something like `itsdangerous`_ to cryptographically
|
||||
sign the data.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
