Web.Cookie

Server to client

Data type

data SetCookie

Data type representing the key-value pair to use for a cookie, as well as configuration options for it.

Creating a SetCookie

SetCookie does not export a constructor; instead, use defaultSetCookie and override values (see http://www.yesodweb.com/book/settings-types for details):

import Web.Cookie
:set -XOverloadedStrings
let cookie = defaultSetCookie { setCookieName = "cookieName", setCookieValue = "cookieValue" }

Cookie Configuration

Cookies have several configuration options; a brief summary of each option is given below. For more information, see RFC 6265 or Wikipedia.

Defined in Web.Cookie

Methods

rnf :: SetCookie -> ()

setCookieName :: SetCookie -> ByteString

The name of the cookie. Default value: "name"

setCookieValue :: SetCookie -> ByteString

The value of the cookie. Default value: "value"

setCookiePath :: SetCookie -> Maybe ByteString

The URL path for which the cookie should be sent. Default value: Nothing (The browser defaults to the path of the request that sets the cookie).

setCookieExpires :: SetCookie -> Maybe UTCTime

The time at which to expire the cookie. Default value: Nothing (The browser will default to expiring a cookie when the browser is closed).

setCookieMaxAge :: SetCookie -> Maybe DiffTime

The maximum time to keep the cookie, in seconds. Default value: Nothing (The browser defaults to expiring a cookie when the browser is closed).

setCookieDomain :: SetCookie -> Maybe ByteString

The domain for which the cookie should be sent. Default value: Nothing (The browser defaults to the current domain).

setCookieHttpOnly :: SetCookie -> Bool

Marks the cookie as "HTTP only", i.e. not accessible from Javascript. Default value: False

setCookieSecure :: SetCookie -> Bool

Instructs the browser to only send the cookie over HTTPS. Default value: False

setCookieSameSite :: SetCookie -> Maybe SameSiteOption

The "same site" policy of the cookie, i.e. whether it should be sent with cross-site requests. Default value: Nothing

data SameSiteOption

Data type representing the options for a SameSite cookie

(==) :: SameSiteOption -> SameSiteOption -> Bool

NFData SameSiteOption

Defined in Web.Cookie

Methods

rnf :: SameSiteOption -> ()

sameSiteLax :: SameSiteOption

Directs the browser to send the cookie for safe requests (e.g. GET), but not for unsafe ones (e.g. POST)

sameSiteStrict :: SameSiteOption

Directs the browser to not send the cookie for any cross-site request, including e.g. a user clicking a link in their email to open a page on your site.

sameSiteNone :: SameSiteOption

Directs the browser to send the cookie for cross-site requests.

Functions

parseSetCookie :: ByteString -> SetCookie

renderSetCookie :: SetCookie -> Builder

defaultSetCookie :: SetCookie

A minimal SetCookie. All fields are Nothing or False except setCookieName = "name" and setCookieValue = "value". You need this to construct a SetCookie, because it does not export a constructor. Equivalently, you may use def.

Since: 0.4.2.2

def :: Default a => a

The default value for this type.

Client to server

type Cookies = [(ByteString, ByteString)]

parseCookies :: ByteString -> Cookies

Decode the value of a "Cookie" request header into key/value pairs.

renderCookies :: Cookies -> Builder

UTF8 Version

type CookiesText = [(Text, Text)]

Textual cookies. Functions assume UTF8 encoding.

parseCookiesText :: ByteString -> CookiesText

renderCookiesText :: CookiesText -> Builder

Expires field

expiresFormat :: String

formatCookieExpires :: UTCTime -> ByteString

Format a UTCTime for a cookie.

parseCookieExpires :: ByteString -> Maybe UTCTime
