vegUISiteKit - The cookie functions library

The VSK cookie functions library allows to set, unset and read cookies comfortably using javascript.

I used to do all the cookie setting via PHP / ajax whatever, kind of a mental black out i guess :) It's much more convenient to just do it using javascript once you have set up a couple functions for it.

To set a cookie using VSK we have the
vsk_cookie_set() function.

Example:


The example above would set a cookie variable by the name of mycookie with it's value being 123 test. The third argument is the validity time of the variable in milliseconds - in this case 1 hour, this argument is optional and if omitted will cause the variable to be valid until it gets deleted. There is a fourth argument that is also optional that lets you specify the path component of the variable setting it only for a certain location of your website.

Unsetting the cookie

You can simply erase a cookie variable by calling the vsk_cookie_unset() function. All this function takes is the name of the cookie variable you want to get rid of.

Example:

Retrieving cookie variables

To retrieve a single cookie variable VSK provides you with the vsk_cookie_get() function.

Example:


You can also retrieve a list of all active cookie variables for the current location by calling the vsk_cookie_list() function. It returns an object that has a property for every cookie variable. So instead of using vsk_cookie_get several times to retrieve the same variable - which involves parsing of strings to retrieve by the way - you simply get the list and read the variable from there.
