Prerequisites

This package depends on @angular v5.0.0.

And if you want to manage cookies on server side and you're using express as server you need install: npm i -S cookie-parser @nguniversal/module-map-ngfactory-loader

Getting started

Installation

Install @ngx-utils/cookies from npm:

1npm install @ngx-utils/cookies --save

browser.module.ts

Add BrowserCookiesModule to your browser module:

1import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
2import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
3import { BrowserCookiesModule } from '@ngx-utils/cookies/browser';
4...
5import { AppModule } from './app/app.module';
6import { AppComponent } from './app/app.component';
7...
8@NgModule({
9  imports: [
10    BrowserModule.withServerTransition({appId: 'your-app-id'}),
11    BrowserCookiesModule.forRoot(),
12    AppModule
13    ...
14  ],
15  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
16})
17export class BrowserAppModule { }

server.module.ts

Add ServerCookiesModule to your server module:

1import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
2import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
3import { ServerModule } from '@angular/platform-server';
4import { ServerCookiesModule } from '@ngx-utils/cookies/server';
5...
6import { AppModule } from './app/app.module';
7import { AppComponent } from './app/app.component';
8...
9@NgModule({
10  imports: [
11    BrowserModule.withServerTransition({ appId: 'your-app-id' }),
12    ServerModule,
13    ServerCookiesModule.forRoot(),
14    AppModule
15    ...
16  ],
17  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
18})
19export class ServerAppModule { }

Cookies options

You can preset cookies options:

1BrowserCookiesModule.forRoot({
2  path: '/',
3  domain: 'your.domain',
4  expires: '01.01.2020',
5  secure: true,
6  httpOnly: true
7})
8...
9ServerCookiesModule.forRoot({
10  path: '/',
11  domain: 'your.domain',
12  expires: '01.01.2020',
13  secure: true,
14  httpOnly: true
15})

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:

1import { renderModuleFactory } from '@angular/platform-server';
2import { provideModuleMap } from '@nguniversal/module-map-ngfactory-loader';
3import * as cookieParser from 'cookie-parser';
4
5app.use(cookieParser('Your private token'));
6
7app.engine('html', (_, options, callback) => {
8  renderModuleFactory(AppServerModuleNgFactory, {
9    document: template,
10    url: options.req.url,
11    extraProviders: [
12      provideModuleMap(LAZY_MODULE_MAP),
13      {
14        provide: 'REQUEST',
15        useValue: options.req
16      },
17      {
18        provide: 'RESPONSE',
19        useValue: options.req.res
20      }
21    ]
22  }).then(html => {
23    callback(null, html);
24  });
25});

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

1import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
2import { CookiesService } from '@ngx-utils/cookies';
3
4@Component({
5  selector: 'app-root',
6  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
7  styleUrls: ['./app.component.scss']
8})
9export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
10  constructor(private cookies: CookiesService) {}
11
12  ngOnInit() {
13    this.cookies.put('some_cookie', 'some_cookie');
14    this.cookies.put('http_only_cookie', 'http_only_cookie', {
15      httpOnly: true
16    });
17    console.log(this.cookies.get('some_cookie'), ' => some_cookie');
18    console.log(this.cookies.get('http_only_cookie'), ' => undefined');
19    console.log(this.cookies.getAll());
20  }
21}

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

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

1app.use(async (ctx: Context) => {
2  ctx.body = await renderModuleFactory(AppServerModuleNgFactory, {
3    document: template,
4    url: ctx.req.url,
5    extraProviders: [
6      provideModuleMap(LAZY_MODULE_MAP),
7      {
8        provide: 'KOA_CONTEXT',
9        useValue: ctx
10      }
11    ]
12  });
13});

Then create server-cookies.service.ts:

1import { Context } from 'koa';
2import { Inject, Injectable } from '@angular/core';
3import {
4  CookiesService,
5  CookiesOptionsService,
6  CookiesOptions
7} from '@ngx-utils/cookies';
8
9@Injectable()
10export class ServerCookiesService extends CookiesService {
11  private newCookies: { [name: string]: string | undefined } = {};
12
13  constructor(
14    cookiesOptions: CookiesOptionsService,
15    @Inject('KOA_CONTEXT') private ctx: Context
16  ) {
17    super(cookiesOptions);
18  }
19
20  get(key: string): string {
21    return this.newCookies[key] || this.ctx.cookies.get(key);
22  }
23
24  protected cookiesReader() {
25    return {};
26  }
27
28  protected cookiesWriter(): (
29    name: string,
30    value: string | undefined,
31    options?: CookiesOptions
32  ) => void {
33    return (name: string, value: string | undefined, options?: any) => {
34      this.newCookies[name] = value;
35      this.ctx.cookies.set(name, value, { httpOnly: false, ...options });
36    };
37  }
38}

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

1{
2  provide: CookiesService,
3  useClass: ServerCookiesService,
4},
