## Data type

data SetCookie

Data type representing the key-value pair to use for a cookie, as well as configuration options for it.

#### Creating a SetCookie

`SetCookie` does not export a constructor; instead, use the `Default` instance to create one and override values (see http://www.yesodweb.com/book/settings-types for details):

    import Web.Cookie
    :set -XOverloadedStrings
    let cookie = def { setCookieName = "cookieName", setCookieValue = "cookieValue" }

#### Cookie Configuration

Cookies have several configuration options; a brief summary of each option is given below. For more information, see RFC 6265 or Wikipedia.

Instances

Eq SetCookie |
Show SetCookie |
Default SetCookie |
NFData SetCookie |

setCookieName :: SetCookie -> ByteString

The name of the cookie. Default value: `"name"`

setCookieValue :: SetCookie -> ByteString

The value of the cookie. Default value: `"value"`

setCookiePath :: SetCookie -> Maybe ByteString

The URL path for which the cookie should be sent. Default value: `Nothing` (The browser defaults to the path of the request that sets the cookie).

setCookieExpires :: SetCookie -> Maybe UTCTime

The time at which to expire the cookie. Default value: `Nothing` (The browser will default to expiring a cookie when the browser is closed).

setCookieMaxAge :: SetCookie -> Maybe DiffTime

The maximum time to keep the cookie, in seconds. Default value: `Nothing` (The browser defaults to expiring a cookie when the browser is closed).

setCookieDomain :: SetCookie -> Maybe ByteString

The domain for which the cookie should be sent. Default value: `Nothing` (The browser defaults to the current domain).

setCookieHttpOnly :: SetCookie -> Bool

Marks the cookie as "HTTP only", i.e. not accessible from Javascript. Default value: `False`

setCookieSecure :: SetCookie -> Bool

Instructs the browser to only send the cookie over HTTPS. Default value: `False`

## Functions

parseSetCookie :: ByteString -> SetCookie

renderSetCookie :: SetCookie -> Builder

def :: Default a => a

The default value for this type.

# Client to server

type Cookies = [(ByteString, ByteString)]

parseCookies :: ByteString -> Cookies

Decode the value of a "Cookie" request header into key/value pairs.

renderCookies :: Cookies -> Builder

## UTF8 Version

type CookiesText = [(Text, Text)]

Textual cookies. Functions assume UTF8 encoding.

parseCookiesText :: ByteString -> CookiesText

renderCookiesText :: CookiesText -> Builder

# Expires field

expiresFormat :: String

formatCookieExpires :: UTCTime -> ByteString

Format a `UTCTime` for a cookie.

parseCookieExpires :: ByteString -> Maybe UTCTime
