cookie-parser-io

cookies parser for socket.io inspired by cookie-parser

Parse Cookie header and populate req.cookies with an object keyed by the cookie names. Optionally you may enable signed cookie support by passing a secret string, which assigns req.secret so it may be used by other middleware.

Install

$ npm install cookie-parser-io

API

var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser-io')

cookieParser(secret, options)

• secret a string used for signing cookies. This is optional and if not specified, will not parse signed cookies.
• options an object that is passed to cookie.parse as the second option. See cookie for more information.
  • decode a function to decode the value of the cookie ned cookie and the signature is valid, the key will be deleted from the object and added to the new object that is returned.

Example

var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser-io');
 
var io = require('socket.io').listen(server);
io.use(cookieParserIO('secret word'));
io.on('connection', ...);

//retrieve cookies like this var id = socket.request.signedCookies.uid; var token = socket.request.signedCookies.auth_token;
