Synopsis

Server to client

Data type

data SetCookie Source

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 the Default instance to create one and override values (see http://www.yesodweb.com/book/settings-types for details):

import Web.Cookie
:set -XOverloadedStrings
let cookie = def { 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.

Instances

Eq SetCookie Source
Show SetCookie Source
Default SetCookie Source
NFData SetCookie Source

setCookieName :: SetCookie -> ByteString Source

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

setCookieValue :: SetCookie -> ByteString Source

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

setCookiePath :: SetCookie -> Maybe ByteString Source

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 Source

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 Source

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 Source

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

setCookieHttpOnly :: SetCookie -> Bool Source

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

setCookieSecure :: SetCookie -> Bool Source

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

Functions
