##
Instance Method Detail

def <<(cookie : Cookie) : Cookie #

Adds the given cookie to this collection, overrides an existing cookie with the same name if present.

    response.cookies << HTTP::Cookie.new("foo", "bar", http_only: true)

def ==(other : self) #
Description copied from class Reference

Returns `true` if this reference is the same as other. Invokes `same?`.

def [](key : String) : Cookie #

Gets the current `HTTP::Cookie` for the given key.

    request.cookies["foo"].value # => "bar"

def []=(key : String, value : String) : Cookie #

Sets a new cookie in the collection with a string value. This creates a never expiring, insecure, not HTTP-only cookie with no explicit domain restriction and no path.

    require "http/client"

    request = HTTP::Request.new "GET", "/"
    request.cookies["foo"] = "bar"

def []=(key : String, value : Cookie) : Cookie #

Sets a new cookie in the collection to the given `HTTP::Cookie` instance. The name attribute must match the given key, else `ArgumentError` is raised.

    require "http/client"

    response = HTTP::Client::Response.new(200)
    response.cookies["foo"] = HTTP::Cookie.new("foo", "bar", "/admin", Time.utc + 12.hours, secure: true)

def []?(key : String) : Cookie | Nil #

Gets the current `HTTP::Cookie` for the given key or `nil` if none is set.

    require "http/client"

    request = HTTP::Request.new "GET", "/"
    request.cookies["foo"]? # => nil
    request.cookies["foo"] = "bar"
    request.cookies["foo"]?.try &.value # > "bar"

def add_request_headers(headers : HTTP::Headers) : HTTP::Headers #

Adds `Cookie` headers for the cookies in this collection to the given `HTTP::Headers` instance and returns it. Removes any existing `Cookie` headers in it.

def add_response_headers(headers : HTTP::Headers) : HTTP::Headers #

Adds `Set-Cookie` headers for the cookies in this collection to the given `HTTP::Headers` instance and returns it. Removes any existing `Set-Cookie` headers in it.

def clear : Hash(String, Cookie) #

Clears the collection, removing all cookies.

def delete(key : String) : Cookie | Nil #

Deletes and returns the `HTTP::Cookie` for the specified key, or returns `nil` if key cannot be found in the collection. Note that key should match the name attribute of the desired `HTTP::Cookie`.

def each(& : Cookie -> ) #

Yields each `HTTP::Cookie` in the collection.

def each : Iterator(Cookie) #

Returns an iterator over the cookies of this collection.

def empty? : Bool #

Whether the collection contains any cookies.

def fill_from_client_headers(headers : HTTP::Headers) : self #

Filling cookies by parsing the `Cookie` headers in the given `HTTP::Headers`.

def fill_from_headers(headers) #

Filling cookies by parsing the `Cookie` and `Set-Cookie` headers in the given `HTTP::Headers`.

DEPRECATED Use `#fill_from_client_headers` or `#fill_from_server_headers` instead.

def fill_from_server_headers(headers : HTTP::Headers) : self #

Filling cookies by parsing the `Set-Cookie` headers in the given `HTTP::Headers`.

def has_key?(key : String) : Bool #

Returns `true` if a cookie with the given key exists.

    request.cookies.has_key?("foo") # => true

def hash(hasher) #
Description copied from class Reference

See `Object#hash(hasher)`

def inspect(io : IO) #

Returns a string representation of this cookies list.

It uses the `Set-Cookie` serialization from `Cookie#to_set_cookie_header` which represents the full state of the cookie.

    HTTP::Cookies{
      HTTP::Cookie.new("foo", "bar"),
      HTTP::Cookie.new("foo", "bar", domain: "example.com"),
    }.to_s # => "HTTP::Cookies{\"foo=bar\", \"foo=bar; domain=example.com\"}"

def pretty_print(pp) : Nil #

Returns a string representation of this cookies list.

It uses the `Set-Cookie` serialization from `Cookie#to_set_cookie_header` which represents the full state of the cookie.

    HTTP::Cookies{
      HTTP::Cookie.new("foo", "bar"),
      HTTP::Cookie.new("foo", "bar", domain: "example.com"),
    }.to_s # => "HTTP::Cookies{\"foo=bar\", \"foo=bar; domain=example.com\"}"

def size : Int32 #

Returns the number of cookies contained in this collection.

def to_h : Hash(String, Cookie) #

Returns this collection as a plain `Hash`.

def to_s(io : IO) #

Returns a string representation of this cookies list.

It uses the `Set-Cookie` serialization from `Cookie#to_set_cookie_header` which represents the full state of the cookie.

    HTTP::Cookies{
      HTTP::Cookie.new("foo", "bar"),
      HTTP::Cookie.new("foo", "bar", domain: "example.com"),
    }.to_s # => "HTTP::Cookies{\"foo=bar\", \"foo=bar; domain=example.com\"}"
