The package helps in working with HTTP cookies in a PSR-7/PSR-15 environment.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

PHP 8.2 or higher.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require stefna/cookie
```

Motivation
----------

[](#motivation)

When using PSR-7 the `setcookie()` function becomes useless when you want everything connected to the request-response loop to be in the Request and Response objects.

`setcookie()` also have a tendency to not support the latest features of the http cookie standard.

Concept
-------

[](#concept)

The main concept of package is the separation of read/write of cookie from using the cookie so with that in mind the `CookieJar` is not connected to the http layer it's just a container that stores cookies.

It's then up to the `CookieMiddleware` and `CookieManager` to read and write the http headers.

By separating it like this it's easy to implement Signing or encryption of the cookies since it's not part of the code that uses the cookies.

It also means you don't need the Response object when creating new cookies all you need to do is add the cookie to the `CookieJar` and the middleware deals with writing the cookie

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Usage of cookie jar from inside action.

The `CookieJar` is added to the request by the `CookieMiddleware` that middleware also deals with adding the cookies to the response headers.

```
use Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface;

class Action
{
	public function __invoke(ServerRequestInterface $request)
	{
		$cookieJar = $request->getAttribute(\Stefna\Cookie\CookieJar::class);

		if (!$cookieJar->has('visits')) {
			$cookieJar->set(new \Stefna\Cookie\Cookie('visits', 0));
		}
		$visitCookie = $cookieJar->get('visits');
		if ($cookieJar->getInt('visits') < 10) {
			$cookieJar->set($visitCookie
				->withValue($cookieJar->getInt('visits') + 1)
				->withExpires(DateInterval::createFromDateString('+1 week'))
			);
		}
		else {
			// remove cookie alt 1
			$cookieJar->set($visitCookie->expire());
			// remove cookie alt 2
			$cookieJar->remove($visitCookie);
		}
	}
}
```
