💖 Dancer::Cookies 💖

okay bestie, so this is Dancer::Cookies — a singleton storage for all cookies. one storage, all the cookies, living together, iconic behavior honestly. ✨

and the version? version 1.3522. noted. slayed.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the vibe, fr fr:

use Dancer::Cookies;

my $cookies = Dancer::Cookies->cookies;

foreach my $name ( keys %{$cookies} ) {
    my $cookie = $cookies->{$name};
    my $value  = $cookie->value;
    print "$name => $value\n";
}

cookie lang => "fr-FR"; #set a cookie and return its value
cookie lang => "fr-FR", expires => "2 hours";
cookie "lang"           #return a cookie value

look at that. she's serving. 💅

🍓 DESCRIPTION 🍓

so Dancer::Cookies literally keeps all the cookies defined by the application — like, all of them, no cookie left behind. 🌈 it makes them accessible and also hands you a few helper functions for cookie handling, all tied to the stored cookies. it's giving personal assistant for cookies. main character energy fr.

👑 METHODS 👑

🎀 init

this one gets called whenever ->new() happens. it builds up a storage of cookies by parsing them out of the environment using parse_cookies_from_env — which is described below, so keep scrolling bestie 🫶

🎀 cookies

returns a hash reference of all the cookies, and every single one of them is a Dancer::Cookie type object. obsessed.

  • the key is the cookie name 🏷️
  • the value is the Dancer::Cookie object 🍪

the cookie method is your girl when you wanna query or set cookies easily. no stress, just vibes:

cookie lang => "fr-FR";              # set a cookie and return its value
cookie lang => "fr-FR", expires => "2 hours";   # extra cookie info
cookie "lang"                        # return a cookie value

set it, get it, add extra info to it — she does it all. 🧚

this one fetches all the cookies from the environment, parses them, and creates a hashref of all the cookies. 🌊

and yep — it also returns all the hashref it created. so you get the whole thing back. generous queen.

💀 tiny heads up: the init method up above calls it parse_cookies_from_env (with an "s" in the middle), but this method right here is parse_cookie_from_env. spelling is different, they're written exactly like that in the original, so i'm keeping both exactly like that. no editing, no guessing. periodt. ✋
