README

The package helps in working with HTTP cookies in a PSR-7/PSR-15 environment.

Requirements

PHP 8.2 or higher.

Installation

composer require stefna/cookie

Motivation

When using PSR-7 the setcookie() function becomes useless when you want everything connected to the request-response loop to be in the Request and Response objects.

setcookie() also have a tendency to not support the latest features of the http cookie standard.

Concept

The main concept of package is the separation of read/write of cookie from using the cookie so with that in mind the CookieJar is not connected to the http layer it's just a container that stores cookies.

It's then up to the CookieMiddleware and CookieManager to read and write the http headers.

By separating it like this it's easy to implement Signing or encryption of the cookies since it's not part of the code that uses the cookies.

It also means you don't need the Response object when creating new cookies all you need to do is add the cookie to the CookieJar and the middleware deals with writing the cookie

Usage

Usage of cookie jar from inside action.

The CookieJar is added to the request by the CookieMiddleware that middleware also deals with adding the cookies to the response headers.

use Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface;

class Action
{
	public function __invoke(ServerRequestInterface $request)
	{
		$cookieJar = $request->getAttribute(\Stefna\Cookie\CookieJar::class);

		if (!$cookieJar->has('visits')) {
			$cookieJar->set(new \Stefna\Cookie\Cookie('visits', 0));
		}
		$visitCookie = $cookieJar->get('visits');
		if ($cookieJar->getInt('visits') < 10) {
			$cookieJar->set($visitCookie
				->withValue($cookieJar->getInt('visits') + 1)
				->withExpires(DateInterval::createFromDateString('+1 week'))
			);
		}
		else {
			// remove cookie alt 1
			$cookieJar->set($visitCookie->expire());
			// remove cookie alt 2
			$cookieJar->remove($visitCookie);
		}
	}
}
