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 defaultSetCookie and override values (see http://www.yesodweb.com/book/settings-types for details):

import Web.Cookie
:set -XOverloadedStrings
let cookie = defaultSetCookie { 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.

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

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

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).

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

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

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

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

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

Marks the cookie as "same site", i.e. should not be sent with cross-site requests. Default value: Nothing

Data type representing the options for a SameSite cookie

Directs the browser to send the cookie for safe requests (e.g. GET), but not for unsafe ones (e.g. POST)

Directs the browser to not send the cookie for any cross-site request, including e.g. a user clicking a link in their email to open a page on your site.

A minimal SetCookie. All fields are Nothing or False except setCookieName = "name" and setCookieValue = "value". You need this to construct a SetCookie, because it does not export a constructor. Equivalently, you may use def.

Since: 0.4.2.2

The default value for this type.

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

Textual cookies. Functions assume UTF8 encoding.

Format a UTCTime for a cookie.
