Struct cookie::Cookie

pub struct Cookie<'c> { /* private fields */ }

Representation of an HTTP cookie.

Constructing a Cookie

To construct a cookie with only a name/value, use Cookie::new():

use cookie::Cookie;

let cookie = Cookie::new("name", "value");
assert_eq!(&cookie.to_string(), "name=value");

To construct more elaborate cookies, use Cookie::build() and CookieBuilder methods:

use cookie::Cookie;

let cookie = Cookie::build("name", "value")
    .domain("www.rust-lang.org")
    .path("/")
    .secure(true)
    .http_only(true)
    .finish();

Implementations

impl<'c> Cookie<'c>

pub fn new<N, V>(name: N, value: V) -> Selfwhere N: Into<Cow<'c, str>>, V: Into<Cow<'c, str>>,

Creates a new Cookie with the given name and value.

Example

use cookie::Cookie;

let cookie = Cookie::new("name", "value");
assert_eq!(cookie.name_value(), ("name", "value"));

pub fn named<N>(name: N) -> Cookie<'c>where N: Into<Cow<'c, str>>,

Creates a new Cookie with the given name and an empty value.

Example

use cookie::Cookie;

let cookie = Cookie::named("name");
assert_eq!(cookie.name(), "name");
assert!(cookie.value().is_empty());

pub fn build<N, V>(name: N, value: V) -> CookieBuilder<'c>where N: Into<Cow<'c, str>>, V: Into<Cow<'c, str>>,

Creates a new CookieBuilder instance from the given key and value strings.

Example

use cookie::Cookie;

let c = Cookie::build("foo", "bar").finish();
assert_eq!(c.name_value(), ("foo", "bar"));

pub fn parse<S>(s: S) -> Result<Cookie<'c>, ParseError>where S: Into<Cow<'c, str>>,

Parses a Cookie from the given HTTP cookie header value string. Does not perform any percent-decoding.

Example

use cookie::Cookie;

let c = Cookie::parse("foo=bar%20baz; HttpOnly").unwrap();
assert_eq!(c.name_value(), ("foo", "bar%20baz"));
assert_eq!(c.http_only(), Some(true));
assert_eq!(c.secure(), None);

pub fn parse_encoded<S>(s: S) -> Result<Cookie<'c>, ParseError>where S: Into<Cow<'c, str>>,

Available on crate feature percent-encode only.

Parses a Cookie from the given HTTP cookie header value string where the name and value fields are percent-encoded. Percent-decodes the name/value fields.

Example

use cookie::Cookie;

let c = Cookie::parse_encoded("foo=bar%20baz; HttpOnly").unwrap();
assert_eq!(c.name_value(), ("foo", "bar baz"));
assert_eq!(c.http_only(), Some(true));
assert_eq!(c.secure(), None);

pub fn split_parse<S>(string: S) -> SplitCookies<'c> where S: Into<Cow<'c, str>>,

Parses the HTTP Cookie header, a series of cookie names and value separated by ;, returning an iterator over the parse results. Each item returned by the iterator is a Result<Cookie, ParseError> of parsing one name/value pair. Empty cookie values (i.e, in a=1;;b=2) and any excess surrounding whitespace are ignored.

Unlike Cookie::split_parse_encoded(), this method does not percent-decode keys and values.

Example

use cookie::Cookie;

let string = "name=value; other=key%20value";
for cookie in Cookie::split_parse(string) {
    let cookie = cookie.unwrap();
    match cookie.name() {
        "name" => assert_eq!(cookie.value(), "value"),
        "other" => assert_eq!(cookie.value(), "key%20value"),
        _ => unreachable!()
    }
}

pub fn split_parse_encoded<S>(string: S) -> SplitCookies<'c> where S: Into<Cow<'c, str>>,

Available on crate feature percent-encode only.

Parses the HTTP Cookie header, a series of cookie names and value separated by ;, returning an iterator over the parse results. Each item returned by the iterator is a Result<Cookie, ParseError> of parsing one name/value pair. Empty cookie values (i.e, in a=1;;b=2) and any excess surrounding whitespace are ignored.

Unlike Cookie::split_parse(), this method does percent-decode keys and values.

Example

use cookie::Cookie;

let string = "name=value; other=key%20value";
for cookie in Cookie::split_parse_encoded(string) {
    let cookie = cookie.unwrap();
    match cookie.name() {
        "name" => assert_eq!(cookie.value(), "value"),
        "other" => assert_eq!(cookie.value(), "key value"),
        _ => unreachable!()
    }
}

assert_eq!(c.http_only(), Some(true));

let mut c = Cookie::new("name", "value");
assert_eq!(c.http_only(), None);

let mut c = Cookie::new("name", "value");

assert_eq!(c.same_site(), Some(SameSite::Lax));

pub fn max_age(&self) -> Option<Duration>

Returns the specified max-age of the cookie if one was specified.

let expire_time = "Wed, 21 Oct 2017 07:28:00 GMT";
let cookie_str = format!("name=value; Expires={}", expire_time);
let c = Cookie::parse(cookie_str).unwrap();

use cookie::{Cookie, SameSite};

let mut c = Cookie::new("name", "value");
assert_eq!(c.same_site(), None);

c.set_same_site(SameSite::None);
assert_eq!(c.same_site(), Some(SameSite::None));

pub fn set_expires<T: Into<Expiration>>(&mut self, time: T)

Sets the expires field of self to time. If time is None, an expiration of Session is set.

Example

use cookie::{Cookie, Expiration};
use cookie::time::{Duration, OffsetDateTime};

pub fn make_permanent(&mut self)

Makes self a “permanent” cookie by extending its expiration and max age 20 years into the future.

Example

use cookie::Cookie;
use cookie::time::Duration;

let mut c = Cookie::new("foo", "bar");
c.make_permanent();
assert_eq!(c.max_age(), Some(Duration::days(365 * 20)));

assert_eq!(c.max_age(), Some(Duration::ZERO));

pub fn name_raw(&self) -> Option<&'c str>

Returns the name of self as a string slice of the raw string self was originally parsed from. If self was not originally parsed from a raw string, returns None.

This method differs from Cookie::name() in that it returns a string with the same lifetime as the originally parsed string. This lifetime may outlive self. If a longer lifetime is not required, or you’re unsure if you need a longer lifetime, use Cookie::name().

Example

use cookie::Cookie;

let cookie_string = format!("{}={}", "foo", "bar");

// `c` will be dropped at the end of the scope, but `name` will live on
let name = {
    let c = Cookie::parse(cookie_string.as_str()).unwrap();
    c.name_raw()
};

assert_eq!(name, Some("foo"));

pub fn value_raw(&self) -> Option<&'c str>

Returns the value of self as a string slice of the raw string self was originally parsed from. If self was not originally parsed from a raw string, returns None.

This method differs from Cookie::value() in that it returns a string with the same lifetime as the originally parsed string. This lifetime may outlive self. If a longer lifetime is not required, or you’re unsure if you need a longer lifetime, use Cookie::value().

Example

use cookie::Cookie;

let cookie_string = format!("{}={}", "foo", "bar");

// `c` will be dropped at the end of the scope, but `value` will live on
let value = {
    let c = Cookie::parse(cookie_string.as_str()).unwrap();
    c.value_raw()
};

assert_eq!(value, Some("bar"));

pub fn path_raw(&self) -> Option<&'c str>

Returns the Path of self as a string slice of the raw string self was originally parsed from. If self was not originally parsed from a raw string, or if self doesn’t contain a Path, or if the Path has changed since parsing, returns None.

This method differs from Cookie::path() in that it returns a string with the same lifetime as the originally parsed string. This lifetime may outlive self. If a longer lifetime is not required, or you’re unsure if you need a longer lifetime, use Cookie::path().

Example

use cookie::Cookie;

let cookie_string = format!("{}={}; Path=/", "foo", "bar");

// `c` will be dropped at the end of the scope, but `path` will live on
let path = {
    let c = Cookie::parse(cookie_string.as_str()).unwrap();
    c.path_raw()
};

assert_eq!(path, Some("/"));

pub fn domain_raw(&self) -> Option<&'c str>

Returns the Domain of self as a string slice of the raw string self was originally parsed from. If self was not originally parsed from a raw string, or if self doesn’t contain a Domain, or if the Domain has changed since parsing, returns None.

Like Cookie::domain(), this does not consider whether Domain is valid; validation is left to higher-level libraries, as needed. However, if Domain starts with a leading ., the leading . is stripped.

This method differs from Cookie::domain() in that it returns a string with the same lifetime as the originally parsed string. This lifetime may outlive self struct. If a longer lifetime is not required, or you’re unsure if you need a longer lifetime, use Cookie::domain().

Example

use cookie::Cookie;

let cookie_string = format!("{}={}; Domain=.crates.io", "foo", "bar");

//`c` will be dropped at the end of the scope, but `domain` will live on
let domain = {
    let c = Cookie::parse(cookie_string.as_str()).unwrap();
    c.domain_raw()
};

assert_eq!(domain, Some("crates.io"));

pub fn encoded<'a>(&'a self) -> Display<'a, 'c>

Available on crate feature percent-encode only.

Wraps self in an encoded Display: a cost-free wrapper around Cookie whose fmt::Display implementation percent-encodes the name and value of the wrapped Cookie.

The returned structure can be chained with Display::stripped() to display only the name and value.

Example

use cookie::Cookie;

let mut c = Cookie::build("my name", "this; value?").secure(true).finish();
assert_eq!(&c.encoded().to_string(), "my%20name=this%3B%20value%3F; Secure");
assert_eq!(&c.encoded().stripped().to_string(), "my%20name=this%3B%20value%3F");

pub fn stripped<'a>(&'a self) -> Display<'a, 'c>

Wraps self in a stripped Display]: a cost-free wrapper around Cookie whose fmt::Display implementation prints only the name and value of the wrapped Cookie.

The returned structure can be chained with Display::encoded() to encode the name and value.

Example

use cookie::Cookie;

let mut c = Cookie::build("key?", "value").secure(true).path("/").finish();
assert_eq!(&c.stripped().to_string(), "key?=value");
// Note: `encoded()` is only available when `percent-encode` is enabled.
assert_eq!(&c.stripped().encoded().to_string(), "key%3F=value");
