[RFC 6265](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6265) Cookies and CookieJar for Node.js | |
[](https://nodei.co/npm/tough-cookie/) | |
[](https://travis-ci.org/salesforce/tough-cookie) | |
## Synopsis | |
```javascript | |
var tough = require("tough-cookie"); | |
var Cookie = tough.Cookie; | |
var cookie = Cookie.parse(header); | |
cookie.value = "somethingdifferent"; | |
header = cookie.toString(); | |
var cookiejar = new tough.CookieJar(); | |
// Asynchronous! | |
var cookie = await cookiejar.setCookie( | |
cookie, | |
"https://currentdomain.example.com/path" | |
); | |
var cookies = await cookiejar.getCookies("https://example.com/otherpath"); | |
// Or with callbacks! | |
cookiejar.setCookie( | |
cookie, | |
"https://currentdomain.example.com/path", | |
function (err, cookie) { | |
/* ... */ | |
} | |
); | |
cookiejar.getCookies("http://example.com/otherpath", function (err, cookies) { | |
/* ... */ | |
}); | |
``` | |
Why the name? NPM modules `cookie`, `cookies` and `cookiejar` were already taken. | |
## Installation | |
It's _so_ easy! Install with `npm` or your preferred package manager. | |
```sh | |
npm install tough-cookie | |
``` | |
## Node.js Version Support | |
We follow the [node.js release schedule](https://github.com/nodejs/Release#release-schedule) and support all versions that are in Active LTS or Maintenance. We will always do a major release when dropping support for older versions of node, and we will do so in consultation with our community. | |
## API | |
### tough | |
The top-level exports from `require('tough-cookie')` can all be used as pure functions and don't need to be bound. | |
#### `parseDate(string)` | |
Parse a cookie date string into a `Date`. Parses according to [RFC 6265 Section 5.1.1](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6265#section-5.1.1), not `Date.parse()`. | |
#### `formatDate(date)` | |
Format a `Date` into an [RFC 822](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc822#section-5) string (the RFC 6265 recommended format). | |
#### `canonicalDomain(str)` | |
Transforms a domain name into a canonical domain name. The canonical domain name is a domain name that has been trimmed, lowercased, stripped of leading dot, and optionally punycode-encoded ([Section 5.1.2 of RFC 6265](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6265#section-5.1.2)). For the most part, this function is idempotent (calling the function with the output from a previous call returns the same output). | |
#### `domainMatch(str, domStr[, canonicalize=true])` | |
Answers "does this real domain match the domain in a cookie?". The `str` is the "current" domain name and the `domStr` is the "cookie" domain name. Matches according to [RFC 6265 Section 5.1.3](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6265#section-5.1.3), but it helps to think of it as a "suffix match". | |
The `canonicalize` parameter toggles whether the domain parameters get normalized with `canonicalDomain` or not. | |
#### `defaultPath(path)` | |
Given a current request/response path, gives the path appropriate for storing in a cookie. This is basically the "directory" of a "file" in the path, but is specified by [Section 5.1.4 of the RFC](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6265#section-5.1.4). | |
The `path` parameter MUST be _only_ the pathname part of a URI (excluding the hostname, query, fragment, and so on). This is the `.pathname` property of node's `uri.parse()` output. | |
#### `pathMatch(reqPath, cookiePath)` | |
Answers "does the request-path path-match a given cookie-path?" as per [RFC 6265 Section 5.1.4](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6265#section-5.1.4). Returns a boolean. | |
This is essentially a prefix-match where `cookiePath` is a prefix of `reqPath`. | |
#### `parse(cookieString[, options])` | |
Alias for [`Cookie.parse(cookieString[, options])`](#cookieparsecookiestring-options). | |
#### `fromJSON(string)` | |
Alias for [`Cookie.fromJSON(string)`](#cookiefromjsonstrorobj). | |
#### `getPublicSuffix(hostname)` | |
Returns the public suffix of this hostname. The public suffix is the shortest domain name upon which a cookie can be set. Returns `null` if the hostname cannot have cookies set for it. | |
For example: `www.example.com` and `www.subdomain.example.com` both have public suffix `example.com`. | |
For further information, see the [Public Suffix List](http://publicsuffix.org/). This module derives its list from that site. This call is a wrapper around [`psl`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/psl)'s [`get` method](https://www.npmjs.com/package/psl##pslgetdomain). | |
#### `cookieCompare(a, b)` | |
For use with `.sort()`, sorts a list of cookies into the recommended order given in step 2 of ([RFC 6265 Section 5.4](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6265#section-5.4)). The sort algorithm is, in order of precedence: | |
- Longest `.path` | |
- oldest `.creation` (which has a 1-ms precision, same as `Date`) | |
- lowest `.creationIndex` (to get beyond the 1-ms precision) | |
```javascript | |
var cookies = [ | |
/* unsorted array of Cookie objects */ | |
]; | |
cookies = cookies.sort(cookieCompare); | |
``` | |
> **Note**: Since the JavaScript `Date` is limited to a 1-ms precision, cookies within the same millisecond are entirely possible. This is especially true when using the `now` option to `.setCookie()`. The `.creationIndex` property is a per-process global counter, assigned during construction with `new Cookie()`, which preserves the spirit of the RFC sorting: older cookies go first. This works great for `MemoryCookieStore` since `Set-Cookie` headers are parsed in order, but is not so great for distributed systems. Sophisticated `Store`s may wish to set this to some other _logical clock_ so that if cookies A and B are created in the same millisecond, but cookie A is created before cookie B, then `A.creationIndex < B.creationIndex`. If you want to alter the global counter, which you probably _shouldn't_ do, it's stored in `Cookie.cookiesCreated`. | |
#### `permuteDomain(domain)` | |
Generates a list of all possible domains that `domainMatch()` the parameter. Can be handy for implementing cookie stores. | |
#### `permutePath(path)` | |
Generates a list of all possible paths that `pathMatch()` the parameter. Can be handy for implementing cookie stores. | |
### Cookie | |
Exported via `tough.Cookie`. | |
#### `Cookie.parse(cookieString[, options])` | |
Parses a single Cookie or Set-Cookie HTTP header into a `Cookie` object. Returns `undefined` if the string can't be parsed. | |
The options parameter is not required and currently has only one property: | |
- _loose_ - boolean - if `true` enable parsing of keyless cookies like `=abc` and `=`, which are not RFC-compliant. | |
If options is not an object it is ignored, which means it can be used with [`Array#map`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/map). | |
To process the Set-Cookie header(s) on a node HTTP/HTTPS response: | |
```javascript | |
if (Array.isArray(res.headers["set-cookie"])) | |
cookies = res.headers["set-cookie"].map(Cookie.parse); | |
else cookies = [Cookie.parse(res.headers["set-cookie"])]; | |
``` | |
_Note:_ In version 2.3.3, tough-cookie limited the number of spaces before the `=` to 256 characters. This limitation was removed in version 2.3.4. | |
For more details, see [issue #92](https://github.com/salesforce/tough-cookie/issues/92). | |
#### Properties | |
Cookie object properties: | |
- _key_ - string - the name or key of the cookie (default `""`) | |
- _value_ - string - the value of the cookie (default `""`) | |
- _expires_ - `Date` - if set, the `Expires=` attribute of the cookie (defaults to the string `"Infinity"`). See `setExpires()` | |
- _maxAge_ - seconds - if set, the `Max-Age=` attribute _in seconds_ of the cookie. Can also be set to strings `"Infinity"` and `"-Infinity"` for non-expiry and immediate-expiry, respectively. See `setMaxAge()` | |
- _domain_ - string - the `Domain=` attribute of the cookie | |
- _path_ - string - the `Path=` of the cookie | |
- _secure_ - boolean - the `Secure` cookie flag | |
- _httpOnly_ - boolean - the `HttpOnly` cookie flag | |
- _sameSite_ - string - the `SameSite` cookie attribute (from [RFC 6265bis](#rfc-6265bis)); must be one of `none`, `lax`, or `strict` | |
- _extensions_ - `Array` - any unrecognized cookie attributes as strings (even if equal-signs inside) | |
- _creation_ - `Date` - when this cookie was constructed | |
- _creationIndex_ - number - set at construction, used to provide greater sort precision (see `cookieCompare(a,b)` for a full explanation) | |
After a cookie has been passed through `CookieJar.setCookie()` it has the following additional attributes: | |
- _hostOnly_ - boolean - is this a host-only cookie (that is, no Domain field was set, but was instead implied). | |
- _pathIsDefault_ - boolean - if true, there was no Path field on the cookie and `defaultPath()` was used to derive one. | |
- _creation_ - `Date` - **modified** from construction to when the cookie was added to the jar. | |
- _lastAccessed_ - `Date` - last time the cookie got accessed. Affects cookie cleaning after it is implemented. Using `cookiejar.getCookies(...)` updates this attribute. | |
#### `new Cookie([properties])` | |
Receives an options object that can contain any of the above Cookie properties. Uses the default for unspecified properties. | |
#### `.toString()` | |
Encodes to a Set-Cookie header value. The Expires cookie field is set using `formatDate()`, but is omitted entirely if `.expires` is `Infinity`. | |
#### `.cookieString()` | |
Encodes to a Cookie header value (specifically, the `.key` and `.value` properties joined with `"="`). | |
#### `.setExpires(string)` | |
Sets the expiry based on a date-string passed through `parseDate()`. If parseDate returns `null` (that is, can't parse this date string), `.expires` is set to `"Infinity"` (a string). | |
#### `.setMaxAge(number)` | |
Sets the maxAge in seconds. Coerces `-Infinity` to `"-Infinity"` and `Infinity` to `"Infinity"` so it correctly serializes to JSON. | |
#### `.expiryDate([now=Date.now()])` | |
`expiryTime()` computes the absolute unix-epoch milliseconds that this cookie expires. `expiryDate()` works similarly, except it returns a `Date` object. Note that in both cases the `now` parameter should be milliseconds. | |
Max-Age takes precedence over Expires (as per the RFC). The `.creation` attribute -- or, by default, the `now` parameter -- is used to offset the `.maxAge` attribute. | |
If Expires (`.expires`) is set, that's returned. | |
Otherwise, `expiryTime()` returns `Infinity` and `expiryDate()` returns a `Date` object for "Tue, 19 Jan 2038 03:14:07 GMT" (latest date that can be expressed by a 32-bit `time_t`; the common limit for most user-agents). | |
#### `.TTL([now=Date.now()])` | |
Computes the TTL relative to `now` (milliseconds). The same precedence rules as for `expiryTime`/`expiryDate` apply. | |
`Infinity` is returned for cookies without an explicit expiry and `0` is returned if the cookie is expired. Otherwise a time-to-live in milliseconds is returned. | |
#### `.canonicalizedDomain()` | |
#### `.cdomain()` | |
Returns the canonicalized `.domain` field. This is lower-cased and punycode ([RFC 3490](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3490)) encoded if the domain has any non-ASCII characters. | |
#### `.toJSON()` | |
For convenience in using `JSON.serialize(cookie)`. Returns a plain-old `Object` that can be JSON-serialized. | |
Any `Date` properties (such as `.expires`, `.creation`, and `.lastAccessed`) are exported in ISO format (`.toISOString()`). | |
> **NOTE**: Custom `Cookie` properties are discarded. In tough-cookie 1.x, since there was no `.toJSON` method explicitly defined, all enumerable properties were captured. If you want a property to be serialized, add the property name to the `Cookie.serializableProperties` Array. | |
#### `Cookie.fromJSON(strOrObj)` | |
Does the reverse of `cookie.toJSON()`. If passed a string, will `JSON.parse()` that first. | |
Any `Date` properties (such as `.expires`, `.creation`, and `.lastAccessed`) are parsed via [`Date.parse`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/parse), not tough-cookie's `parseDate`, since ISO timestamps are being handled at this layer. | |
Returns `null` upon a JSON parsing error. | |
#### `.clone()` | |
Does a deep clone of this cookie, implemented exactly as `Cookie.fromJSON(cookie.toJSON())`. | |
#### `.validate()` | |
Status: _IN PROGRESS_. Works for a few things, but is by no means comprehensive. | |
Validates cookie attributes for semantic correctness. Useful for "lint" checking any Set-Cookie headers you generate. For now, it returns a boolean, but eventually could return a reason string. Future-proof with this construct: | |
```javascript | |
if (cookie.validate() === true) { | |
// it's tasty | |
} else { | |
// yuck! | |
} | |
``` | |
### CookieJar | |
Exported via `tough.CookieJar`. | |
#### `CookieJar([store][, options])` | |
Simply use `new CookieJar()`. If a custom store is not passed to the constructor, a [`MemoryCookieStore`](#memorycookiestore) is created and used. | |
The `options` object can be omitted and can have the following properties: | |
- _rejectPublicSuffixes_ - boolean - default `true` - reject cookies with domains like "com" and "co.uk" | |
- _looseMode_ - boolean - default `false` - accept malformed cookies like `bar` and `=bar`, which have an implied empty name. | |
- _prefixSecurity_ - string - default `silent` - set to `'unsafe-disabled'`, `'silent'`, or `'strict'`. See [Cookie Prefixes](#cookie-prefixes) below. | |
- _allowSpecialUseDomain_ - boolean - default `true` - accepts special-use domain suffixes, such as `local`. Useful for testing purposes. | |
This is not in the standard, but is used sometimes on the web and is accepted by most browsers. | |
#### `.setCookie(cookieOrString, currentUrl[, options][, callback(err, cookie)])` | |
Attempt to set the cookie in the cookie jar. The cookie has updated `.creation`, `.lastAccessed` and `.hostOnly` properties. And returns a promise if a callback is not provided. | |
The `options` object can be omitted and can have the following properties: | |
- _http_ - boolean - default `true` - indicates if this is an HTTP or non-HTTP API. Affects `HttpOnly` cookies. | |
- _secure_ - boolean - autodetect from URL - indicates if this is a "Secure" API. If the currentUrl starts with `https:` or `wss:` this defaults to `true`, otherwise `false`. | |
- _now_ - Date - default `new Date()` - what to use for the creation or access time of cookies. | |
- _ignoreError_ - boolean - default `false` - silently ignore things like parse errors and invalid domains. `Store` errors aren't ignored by this option. | |
- _sameSiteContext_ - string - default unset - set to `'none'`, `'lax'`, or `'strict'` See [SameSite Cookies](#samesite-cookies) below. | |
As per the RFC, the `.hostOnly` property is set if there was no "Domain=" parameter in the cookie string (or `.domain` was null on the Cookie object). The `.domain` property is set to the fully-qualified hostname of `currentUrl` in this case. Matching this cookie requires an exact hostname match (not a `domainMatch` as per usual). | |
#### `.setCookieSync(cookieOrString, currentUrl[, options])` | |
Synchronous version of [`setCookie`](#setcookiecookieorstring-currenturl-options-callbackerr-cookie); only works with synchronous stores (that is, the default `MemoryCookieStore`). | |
#### `.getCookies(currentUrl[, options][, callback(err, cookies)])` | |
Retrieve the list of cookies that can be sent in a Cookie header for the current URL. Returns a promise if a callback is not provided. | |
Returns an array of `Cookie` objects, sorted by default using [`cookieCompare`](#cookiecomparea-b). | |
If an error is encountered it's passed as `err` to the callback, otherwise an array of `Cookie` objects is passed. The array is sorted with `cookieCompare()` unless the `{sort:false}` option is given. | |
The `options` object can be omitted and can have the following properties: | |
- _http_ - boolean - default `true` - indicates if this is an HTTP or non-HTTP API. Affects `HttpOnly` cookies. | |
- _secure_ - boolean - autodetect from URL - indicates if this is a "Secure" API. If the currentUrl starts with `https:` or `wss:` then this is defaulted to `true`, otherwise `false`. | |
- _now_ - Date - default `new Date()` - what to use for the creation or access time of cookies | |
- _expire_ - boolean - default `true` - perform expiry-time checking of cookies and asynchronously remove expired cookies from the store. Using `false` returns expired cookies and does **not** remove them from the store (which is potentially useful for replaying Set-Cookie headers). | |
- _allPaths_ - boolean - default `false` - if `true`, do not scope cookies by path. The default uses RFC-compliant path scoping. **Note**: may not be supported by the underlying store (the default `MemoryCookieStore` supports it). | |
- _sameSiteContext_ - string - default unset - Set this to `'none'`, `'lax'`, or `'strict'` to enforce SameSite cookies upon retrieval. See [SameSite Cookies](#samesite-cookies) below. | |
- _sort_ - boolean - whether to sort the list of cookies. | |
The `.lastAccessed` property of the returned cookies will have been updated. | |
#### `.getCookiesSync(currentUrl, [{options}])` | |
Synchronous version of [`getCookies`](#getcookiescurrenturl-options-callbackerr-cookies); only works with synchronous stores (for example, the default `MemoryCookieStore`). | |
#### `.getCookieString(...)` | |
Accepts the same options as [`.getCookies()`](#getcookiescurrenturl-options-callbackerr-cookies) but returns a string suitable for a Cookie header rather than an Array. | |
#### `.getCookieStringSync(...)` | |
Synchronous version of [`getCookieString`](#getcookiestring); only works with synchronous stores (for example, the default `MemoryCookieStore`). | |
#### `.getSetCookieStrings(...)` | |
Returns an array of strings suitable for **Set-Cookie** headers. Accepts the same options as [`.getCookies()`](#getcookiescurrenturl-options-callbackerr-cookies). Simply maps the cookie array via `.toString()`. | |
#### `.getSetCookieStringsSync(...)` | |
Synchronous version of [`getSetCookieStrings`](#getsetcookiestrings); only works with synchronous stores (for example, the default `MemoryCookieStore`). | |
#### `.serialize([callback(err, serializedObject)])` | |
Returns a promise if a callback is not provided. | |
Serialize the Jar if the underlying store supports `.getAllCookies`. | |
> **NOTE**: Custom `Cookie` properties are discarded. If you want a property to be serialized, add the property name to the `Cookie.serializableProperties` Array. | |
See [Serialization Format](#serialization-format). | |
#### `.serializeSync()` | |
Synchronous version of [`serialize`](#serializecallbackerr-serializedobject); only works with synchronous stores (for example, the default `MemoryCookieStore`). | |
#### `.toJSON()` | |
Alias of [`.serializeSync()`](#serializesync) for the convenience of `JSON.stringify(cookiejar)`. | |
#### `CookieJar.deserialize(serialized[, store][, callback(err, object)])` | |
A new Jar is created and the serialized Cookies are added to the underlying store. Each `Cookie` is added via `store.putCookie` in the order in which they appear in the serialization. A promise is returned if a callback is not provided. | |
The `store` argument is optional, but should be an instance of `Store`. By default, a new instance of `MemoryCookieStore` is created. | |
As a convenience, if `serialized` is a string, it is passed through `JSON.parse` first. | |
#### `CookieJar.deserializeSync(serialized[, store])` | |
Sync version of [`.deserialize`](#cookiejardeserializeserialized-store-callbackerr-object); only works with synchronous stores (for example, the default `MemoryCookieStore`). | |
#### `CookieJar.fromJSON(string)` | |
Alias of [`.deserializeSync`](#cookiejardeserializesyncserialized-store) to provide consistency with [`Cookie.fromJSON()`](#cookiefromjsonstrorobj). | |
#### `.clone([store][, callback(err, cloned))` | |
Produces a deep clone of this jar. Modifications to the original do not affect the clone, and vice versa. Returns a promise if a callback is not provided. | |
The `store` argument is optional, but should be an instance of `Store`. By default, a new instance of `MemoryCookieStore` is created. Transferring between store types is supported so long as the source implements `.getAllCookies()` and the destination implements `.putCookie()`. | |
#### `.cloneSync([store])` | |
Synchronous version of [`.clone`](#clonestore-callbackerr-cloned), returning a new `CookieJar` instance. | |
The `store` argument is optional, but must be a _synchronous_ `Store` instance if specified. If not passed, a new instance of `MemoryCookieStore` is used. | |
The _source_ and _destination_ must both be synchronous `Store`s. If one or both stores are asynchronous, use `.clone` instead. Recall that `MemoryCookieStore` supports both synchronous and asynchronous API calls. | |
#### `.removeAllCookies([callback(err)])` | |
Removes all cookies from the jar. Returns a promise if a callback is not provided. | |
This is a new backwards-compatible feature of `tough-cookie` version 2.5, so not all Stores will implement it efficiently. For Stores that do not implement `removeAllCookies`, the fallback is to call `removeCookie` after `getAllCookies`. If `getAllCookies` fails or isn't implemented in the Store, that error is returned. If one or more of the `removeCookie` calls fail, only the first error is returned. | |
#### `.removeAllCookiesSync()` | |
Sync version of [`.removeAllCookies()`](#removeallcookiescallbackerr); only works with synchronous stores (for example, the default `MemoryCookieStore`). | |
### Store | |
Base class for CookieJar stores. Available as `tough.Store`. | |
### Store API | |
The storage model for each `CookieJar` instance can be replaced with a custom implementation. The default is `MemoryCookieStore` which can be found in [`lib/memstore.js`](https://github.com/salesforce/tough-cookie/blob/master/lib/memstore.js). The API uses continuation-passing-style to allow for asynchronous stores. | |
Stores should inherit from the base `Store` class, which is available as a top-level export. | |
Stores are asynchronous by default, but if `store.synchronous` is set to `true`, then the `*Sync` methods of the containing `CookieJar` can be used. | |
All `domain` parameters are normalized before calling. | |
The Cookie store must have all of the following methods. Note that asynchronous implementations **must** support callback parameters. | |
#### `store.findCookie(domain, path, key, callback(err, cookie))` | |
Retrieve a cookie with the given domain, path, and key (name). The RFC maintains that exactly one of these cookies should exist in a store. If the store is using versioning, this means that the latest or newest such cookie should be returned. | |
Callback takes an error and the resulting `Cookie` object. If no cookie is found then `null` MUST be passed instead (that is, not an error). | |
#### `store.findCookies(domain, path, allowSpecialUseDomain, callback(err, cookies))` | |
Locates cookies matching the given domain and path. This is most often called in the context of [`cookiejar.getCookies()`](#getcookiescurrenturl-options-callbackerr-cookies). | |
If no cookies are found, the callback MUST be passed an empty array. | |
The resulting list is checked for applicability to the current request according to the RFC (domain-match, path-match, http-only-flag, secure-flag, expiry, and so on), so it's OK to use an optimistic search algorithm when implementing this method. However, the search algorithm used SHOULD try to find cookies that `domainMatch()` the domain and `pathMatch()` the path in order to limit the amount of checking that needs to be done. | |
As of version 0.9.12, the `allPaths` option to `cookiejar.getCookies()` above causes the path here to be `null`. If the path is `null`, path-matching MUST NOT be performed (that is, domain-matching only). | |
#### `store.putCookie(cookie, callback(err))` | |
Adds a new cookie to the store. The implementation SHOULD replace any existing cookie with the same `.domain`, `.path`, and `.key` properties. Depending on the nature of the implementation, it's possible that between the call to `fetchCookie` and `putCookie` that a duplicate `putCookie` can occur. | |
The `cookie` object MUST NOT be modified; as the caller has already updated the `.creation` and `.lastAccessed` properties. | |
Pass an error if the cookie cannot be stored. | |
#### `store.updateCookie(oldCookie, newCookie, callback(err))` | |
Update an existing cookie. The implementation MUST update the `.value` for a cookie with the same `domain`, `.path`, and `.key`. The implementation SHOULD check that the old value in the store is equivalent to `oldCookie` - how the conflict is resolved is up to the store. | |
The `.lastAccessed` property is always different between the two objects (to the precision possible via JavaScript's clock). Both `.creation` and `.creationIndex` are guaranteed to be the same. Stores MAY ignore or defer the `.lastAccessed` change at the cost of affecting how cookies are selected for automatic deletion (for example, least-recently-used, which is up to the store to implement). | |
Stores may wish to optimize changing the `.value` of the cookie in the store versus storing a new cookie. If the implementation doesn't define this method, a stub that calls [`putCookie`](#storeputcookiecookie-callbackerr) is added to the store object. | |
The `newCookie` and `oldCookie` objects MUST NOT be modified. | |
Pass an error if the newCookie cannot be stored. | |
#### `store.removeCookie(domain, path, key, callback(err))` | |
Remove a cookie from the store (see notes on [`findCookie`](#storefindcookiedomain-path-key-callbackerr-cookie) about the uniqueness constraint). | |
The implementation MUST NOT pass an error if the cookie doesn't exist, and only pass an error due to the failure to remove an existing cookie. | |
#### `store.removeCookies(domain, path, callback(err))` | |
Removes matching cookies from the store. The `path` parameter is optional and if missing, means all paths in a domain should be removed. | |
Pass an error ONLY if removing any existing cookies failed. | |
#### `store.removeAllCookies(callback(err))` | |
_Optional_. Removes all cookies from the store. | |
Pass an error if one or more cookies can't be removed. | |
#### `store.getAllCookies(callback(err, cookies))` | |
_Optional_. Produces an `Array` of all cookies during [`jar.serialize()`](#serializecallbackerr-serializedobject). The items in the array can be true `Cookie` objects or generic `Object`s with the [Serialization Format](#serialization-format) data structure. | |
Cookies SHOULD be returned in creation order to preserve sorting via [`compareCookie()`](#cookiecomparea-b). For reference, `MemoryCookieStore` sorts by `.creationIndex` since it uses true `Cookie` objects internally. If you don't return the cookies in creation order, they'll still be sorted by creation time, but this only has a precision of 1-ms. See `cookieCompare` for more detail. | |
Pass an error if retrieval fails. | |
**Note**: Not all Stores can implement this due to technical limitations, so it is optional. | |
### MemoryCookieStore | |
Inherits from `Store`. | |
A just-in-memory CookieJar synchronous store implementation, used by default. Despite being a synchronous implementation, it's usable with both the synchronous and asynchronous forms of the `CookieJar` API. Supports serialization, `getAllCookies`, and `removeAllCookies`. | |
### Community Cookie Stores | |
These are some Store implementations authored and maintained by the community. They aren't official and we don't vouch for them but you may be interested to have a look: | |
- [`db-cookie-store`](https://github.com/JSBizon/db-cookie-store): SQL including SQLite-based databases | |
- [`file-cookie-store`](https://github.com/JSBizon/file-cookie-store): Netscape cookie file format on disk | |
- [`redis-cookie-store`](https://github.com/benkroeger/redis-cookie-store): Redis | |
- [`tough-cookie-filestore`](https://github.com/mitsuru/tough-cookie-filestore): JSON on disk | |
- [`tough-cookie-web-storage-store`](https://github.com/exponentjs/tough-cookie-web-storage-store): DOM localStorage and sessionStorage | |
## Serialization Format | |
**NOTE**: If you want to have custom `Cookie` properties serialized, add the property name to `Cookie.serializableProperties`. | |
```js | |
{ | |
// The version of tough-cookie that serialized this jar. | |
version: '[email protected]', | |
// add the store type, to make humans happy: | |
storeType: 'MemoryCookieStore', | |
// CookieJar configuration: | |
rejectPublicSuffixes: true, | |
// ... future items go here | |
// Gets filled from jar.store.getAllCookies(): | |
cookies: [ | |
{ | |
key: 'string', | |
value: 'string', | |
// ... | |
/* other Cookie.serializableProperties go here */ | |
} | |
] | |
} | |

## RFC 6265bis | |
Support for RFC 6265bis revision 02 is being developed. Since this is a bit of an omnibus revision to the RFC 6252, support is broken up into the functional areas. | |
### Leave Secure Cookies Alone | |
Not yet supported. | |
This change makes it so that if a cookie is sent from the server to the client with a `Secure` attribute, the channel must also be secure or the cookie is ignored. | |
### SameSite Cookies | |
Supported. | |
This change makes it possible for servers, and supporting clients, to mitigate certain types of CSRF attacks by disallowing `SameSite` cookies from being sent cross-origin. | |
On the Cookie object itself, you can get or set the `.sameSite` attribute, which is serialized into the `SameSite=` cookie attribute. When unset or `undefined`, no `SameSite=` attribute is serialized. The valid values of this attribute are `'none'`, `'lax'`, or `'strict'`. Other values are serialized as-is. | |
When parsing cookies with a `SameSite` cookie attribute, values other than `'lax'` or `'strict'` are parsed as `'none'`. For example, `SomeCookie=SomeValue; SameSite=garbage` parses so that `cookie.sameSite === 'none'`. | |
In order to support SameSite cookies, you must provide a `sameSiteContext` option to _both_ `setCookie` and `getCookies`. Valid values for this option are just like for the Cookie object, but have particular meanings: | |
1. `'strict'` mode - If the request is on the same "site for cookies" (see the RFC draft for more information), pass this option to add a layer of defense against CSRF. | |
2. `'lax'` mode - If the request is from another site, _but_ is directly because of navigation by the user, such as, `<link type=prefetch>` or `<a href="...">`, pass `sameSiteContext: 'lax'`. | |
3. `'none'` - Otherwise, pass `sameSiteContext: 'none'` (this indicates a cross-origin request). | |
4. unset/`undefined` - SameSite **is not** be enforced! This can be a valid use-case for when CSRF isn't in the threat model of the system being built. | |
It is highly recommended that you read RFC 6265bis for fine details on SameSite cookies. In particular [Section 8.8](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-rfc6265bis-02##section-8.8) discusses security considerations and defense in depth. | |
### Cookie Prefixes | |
Supported. | |
Cookie prefixes are a way to indicate that a given cookie was set with a set of attributes simply by inspecting the first few characters of the cookie's name. | |
Cookie prefixes are defined in [Section 4.1.3 of 6265bis](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-rfc6265bis-03##section-4.1.3). | |
Two prefixes are defined: | |
1. `"__Secure-" Prefix`: If a cookie's name begins with a case-sensitive match for the string "\_\_Secure-", then the cookie was set with a "Secure" attribute. | |
2. `"__Host-" Prefix`: If a cookie's name begins with a case-sensitive match for the string "\_\_Host-", then the cookie was set with a "Secure" attribute, a "Path" attribute with a value of "/", and no "Domain" attribute. | |
If `prefixSecurity` is enabled for `CookieJar`, then cookies that match the prefixes defined above but do not obey the attribute restrictions are not added. | |
You can define this functionality by passing in the `prefixSecurity` option to `CookieJar`. It can be one of 3 values: | |
1. `silent`: Enable cookie prefix checking but silently fail to add the cookie if conditions are not met. Default. | |
2. `strict`: Enable cookie prefix checking and error out if conditions are not met. | |
3. `unsafe-disabled`: Disable cookie prefix checking. | |
Note that if `ignoreError` is passed in as `true` then the error is silent regardless of the `prefixSecurity` option (assuming it's enabled). | |
