CookieStore.get()

Secure context: This feature is available only in secure contexts (HTTPS), in some or all supporting browsers.

The get() method of the CookieStore interface returns a single cookie with the given name or options object. (See below.) The method will return the first matching cookie for the passed parameters.

Syntax

var cookie = CookieStore.get(name);
var cookie = CookieStore.get(options);

Parameters

This method requires one of the following:

name

A USVString with the name of a cookie.

options

An object containing:

name

A USVString with the name of a cookie.

url

A USVString with the url of a cookie.

Note: The url option enables the modification of a cookie scoped under a particular URL. Service workers can obtain cookies that would be sent to any URL under their scope. From a document you may only obtain the cookies at the current URL, so the only valid URL in a document context is the document's URL.

Return value

A Promise that resolves with an object containing the first cookie matching the submitted name or options. This object contains the following properties:

name

A USVString containing the name of the cookie.

value

A USVString containing the value of the cookie.

domain

A USVString containing the domain of the cookie.

path

A USVString containing the path of the cookie.

expires

A DOMTimeStamp containing the expiration date of the cookie.

secure

A boolean indicating whether the cookie is to be used in secure contexts only.

sameSite

One of the following SameSite values:

"strict"

Cookies will only be sent in a first-party context and not be sent with requests initiated by third party websites.

"lax"

Cookies are not sent on normal cross-site subrequests (for example to load images or frames into a third party site), but are sent when a user is navigating within the origin site (i.e. when following a link).

"none"

Cookies will be sent in all contexts.

Note: For more information on SameSite cookies see SameSite cookies explained.

Exceptions

TypeError

Thrown if getting the cookie represented by the given name or options fails.

Examples

In this example we return a cookie named "cookie1". If the cookie is found the result of the Promise is an object containing the details of a single cookie.

let cookie = cookieStore.get('cookie1');
if (cookie) {
    console.log(cookie);
} else {
    console.log('Cookie not found');
}
