Electron Cookies

(Formerly called atom-shell-cookies)

Adds support for cookies in Electron. Cookies are persisted through localStorage.

Forked from https://gist.github.com/paulcbetts/2d2de55d137a1cf9d1ac.

Why?

Electron's renderer environment doesn't come with built in support for a document.cookie API. Thus, if you want to use Google Analytics or another client-side analytics library, they won't work because they can't set cookies.

By using this package, you can drop client-side analytics code into your app and it will work splendidly.

Installation

npm install electron-cookies

Usage

In your app's renderer code, just require this package:

require('electron-cookies')

Contributing

Original code is written in src/index.coffee, with tests at spec/electron_cookies_spec.coffee. Write code in coffeescript, and run grunt to compile coffeescript on the fly.

electron-cookies's Issues

Cookies read from storage every request

Have you given any thought to optimizing this a bit by ensuring the entire cookie storage (locaStorage.cookies) isn't read and parsed on every cookie request?

While the current implementation works fine for small-medium storages, it can get costly when working with larger sets. I thought about having a crack at a PR but wasn't sure if it was on your radar or what your thoughts were.

Thanks!

Example of using Google Analytics with `electron-cookies`

Is there an example of using GA with electron-cookies? I'm a bit confused on how to get started. Thanks!

cookies are not being sent in xhr request

Hey,
I'm not sure which project this issue belongs, but I'm not seeing the document.cookie value being sent along with the XHR request header.

I'm using Angular within the Electron shell so I'm using the withCredentials = true approach, similar to using withCredentials: true via $.ajax request.

when I include the electron-cookies package, an alert(document.cookie) gives me the proper cookies that need to be included in the XHR request.

Hopefully that's not too vague. Any ideas? thanks!
