CookieCutter

WARNING: CookieCutter is very early in its development cycle (pre-alpha).

CookieCutter provides a nice DSL for defining your cookies so that you can formalize your cookie definitions. This leads to DRY-er code by ensuring that concerns such as the domain and lifetime of a cookie are consistent. It also makes it easy to know what info you are putting into your cookies, which is becoming more important these days as more laws surrounding cookies get written.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'cookie_cutter'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install cookie_cutter

Usage Examples

class MyCookie < CookieCutter::Base
  store_as :my
  domain :all
  is_permanent
  secure_requests_only
  http_only
  has_attribute :language
  has_attribute :country
end

#writes your cookie
cookie = MyCookie.find(request)
cookie.language = "fr"

#reads your cookie
cookie = MyCookie.find(request)
puts "My language is #{cookie.language}"
