# biskviit
Yet another node module for handling http cookies. This module parses `Set-Cookie` header, stores the data to memory and returns valid value for `Cookie` header once needed based on the stored cookie data.
> **NB** Requires iojs or Node v4+ to support some ES6 features used by this module. Might work with older Node versions as well but not tested
## Usage
Install from npm
npm install biskviit --save
Require as `Biskviit`
```javascript
var Biskviit = require('biskviit');
```
Create a cookie managing *biskviit* instance
```javascript
var biskviit = new Biskviit(options);
```
Where
* **options** is an optional options object with the following properties:
* **sessionTimeout** is the amount in seconds for default session length, used for cookies without an expire argument
**Example**
```javascript
var Biskviit = require('biskviit');
var biskviit = new Biskviit({
sessionTimeout: 5 * 60 // expire cookies after 5 minutes
});
```
### set
To add new cookies to the storage use `set`
```javascript
biskviit.set(cookieString, url)
```
Where
* **cookieString** is the value from the `Set-Cookie:` header
* **url** is the currently open URL that sent the cookie header
**Example**
```javascript
biskviit.set('theme=light', 'http://example.com/');
biskviit.set('sessionToken=abc123; Expires=Wed, 09 Jun 2021 10:18:14 GMT', 'http://example.com/');
```
### get
To list all available cookies for a specified URL use `get`
```javascript
var cookiesString = biskviit.get(url);
```
Where
* **url** is the URL the cookies are required for
**Example**
```javascript
var cookiesString = biskviit.get('http://example.com/');
// theme=light; sessionToken=abc123
```
### list
If you need to filter cookies as objects, use `list`
```javascript
var cookiesString = biskviit.list(url);
```
Where
* **url** is the URL the cookies are required for
**Example**
```javascript
var cookiesString = biskviit.list('http://example.com/');
// [{key: 'theme', value: 'light', expires: ...}, {key: 'sessionToken', value: 'abc123', expires: ...}]
```
