### Your friendly, furry cookie monster!

[](#your-friendly-furry-cookie-monster)

Get and set cookies in vanilla PHP with ease. A [Laravel](http://laravel.com/) implementation is included, but this has no real advantages if you only use Laravel.

**CAUTION!** Never store sensitive data in a cookie!

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install this package through Composer:

```
composer require codezero/cookie
```

Vanilla PHP Implementation
--------------------------

[](#vanilla-php-implementation)

Autoload the vendor classes:

```
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php'; // Path may vary
```

And then use the `VanillaCookie` implementation:

```
$cookie = new \CodeZero\Cookie\VanillaCookie();
```

If you want your cookies to be encrypted, pass an instance of [codezero/encrypter](https://github.com/codezero-be/encrypter) to the `Cookie` class. You will also need to provide it with an encryption key that is needed to decrypt the cookie later on.

```
$key = 'my secret app key';
$encrypter = new \CodeZero\Encrypter\DefaultEncrypter($key);
$cookie = new \CodeZero\Cookie\VanillaCookie($encrypter);
```

> **TIP:** Laravel automagically encrypts cookies by default!

Laravel 5 Implementation
------------------------

[](#laravel-5-implementation)

You can "make" (or inject) a `Cookie` instance anywhere in your app:

```
$cookie = \App::make('CodeZero\Cookie\Cookie');
```

> **TIP:** Laravel's [IoC container](http://laravel.com/docs/container) will automatically provide the Laravel specific `Cookie` implementation. This will use Laravel's [`Cookie`](http://laravel.com/docs/requests) goodness behind the scenes!

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Get a cookie

[](#get-a-cookie)

This will return `null` if the cookie doesn't exist or is expired.

```
$cookieValue = $cookie->get('cookieName');
```

### Store a cookie for a limited time

[](#store-a-cookie-for-a-limited-time)

If you don't specify `$minutesValid`, a default of 60 minutes will be used.

```
$minutesValid = 120;
$cookie->store('cookieName', 'cookieValue', $minutesValid);
```

### Store a cookie forever

[](#store-a-cookie-forever)

5 years feels like forever... ;)

```
$cookie->forever('cookieName', 'cookieValue');
```

### Delete a cookie

[](#delete-a-cookie)

If the cookie doesn't exist, nothing will happen...

```
$cookie->delete('cookieName');
```

### Check if a cookie exists

[](#check-if-a-cookie-exists)

You can check if a cookie exists. However, keep in mind that a cookie will not be available immediately. It will be on the next page load.

```
if ($cookie->exists('cookieName')) {
    // The cookie exists!
}
```

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

```
$ composer run test
```
