@wnodex/cookie-parser

wnodex cookie-parser middleware

Part of the wnodex ecosystem, this package provides cookie-parser middleware for wnodex.

About

@wnodex/cookie-parser integrates the cookie-parser middleware into your wnodex application. It provides a simple way to parse Cookie header and populate req.cookies with an object keyed by the cookie names.

Features

• Seamless integration with the wnodex server.
• Parses cookies and supports signed cookies.
• Configurable via the main wnodex configuration object.
• Built on the standard cookie-parser library.

Why use it?

This package is the standard way to handle cookies within a wnodex application. It centralizes cookie parsing configuration, making it easy to manage alongside other server settings, especially when dealing with signed cookies for security.

Installation

You can install the package using your favorite package manager:

pnpm

pnpm add @wnodex/cookie-parser

npm

npm install @wnodex/cookie-parser

yarn

yarn add @wnodex/cookie-parser

bun

bun add @wnodex/cookie-parser

Usage

@wnodex/cookie-parser is disabled by default. To enable it, provide a configuration object to the cookieParser property in the Wnodex constructor, or set it to true.

import { Wnodex } from 'wnodex';

// Example: Enable with a secret for signed cookies
const server = new Wnodex({
  cookieParser: {
    secret: 'your-secret-key',
  },
});

// Example: Enable without a secret
const serverSimple = new Wnodex({
  cookieParser: true,
});

server.start();

The secret can be a string or an array of strings. You can also provide options that are passed directly to cookie-parser.
