Synopsis

    lua_package_path "/path/to/lua-resty-cookie/lib/?.lua;;";

    server {
        location /test {
            local ck = require "resty.cookie"
            local cookie, err = ck:new()

            if not fields then
                ngx.log(ngx.ERR, err)
                return
            end

            for k, v in pairs(fields) do
                ngx.say(k, " => ", v)
            end

            -- set one cookie
            local ok, err = cookie:set({
                key = "Name", value = "Bob", path = "/",
                domain = "example.com", secure = true, httponly = true,
                expires = "Wed, 09 Jun 2021 10:18:14 GMT", max_age = 50,
                extension = "a4334aebaec"

Methods
=======

[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)

new
---
`syntax: cookie_obj = cookie()`

Create a new cookie object for current request. You can get parsed cookie from client or set cookie to client later using this object.

[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)

get
---
`syntax: cookie_val, err = cookie_obj:get(cookie_name)`

Get a single client cookie value. On error, returns `nil` and an error message.

[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)

get_all
-------
`syntax: fields, err = cookie_obj:get_all()`

Get all client cookie key/value pairs in a lua table. On error, returns `nil` and an error message.

[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)

set
---
```lua
syntax: ok, err = cookie_obj:set({
    key = "Name",
    value = "Bob",
    path = "/",
    domain = "example.com",
    secure = true, httponly = true,
    expires = "Wed, 09 Jun 2021 10:18:14 GMT",
    max_age = 50,
    extension = "a4334aebaec"
})
```

Set a cookie to client. This will add a new 'Set-Cookie' response header. `key` and `value` are required, all other fields are optional.
If the same cookie (whole cookie string, e.g. "Name=Bob; Expires=Wed, 09 Jun 2021 10:18:14 GMT; Max-Age=50; Domain=example.com; Path=/; Secure; HttpOnly;") has already been setted, new cookie will be ignored.

Installation
============

You need to compile [ngx_lua](https://github.com/chaoslawful/lua-nginx-module/tags) with your Nginx.

You need to configure
the [lua_package_path](https://github.com/chaoslawful/lua-nginx-module#lua_package_path) directive to
add the path of your `lua-resty-cookie` source tree to ngx_lua's Lua module search path, as in

    # nginx.conf
    http {
        lua_package_path "/path/to/lua-resty-cookie/lib/?.lua;;";
        ...
    }

and then load the library in Lua:

    local ck = require "resty.cookie"
