Wrapper for universal-cookie.

TIP

When using with Nuxt 3, this functions will NOT be auto imported in favor of Nuxt's built-in useCookie(). Use explicit import if you want to use the function from VueUse.

Available in the @vueuse/integrations add-on.

Install ​

bash
npm i universal-cookie@^6

Usage ​

Common usage ​

vue
<script>
import { defineComponent } from 'vue'
import { useCookies } from '@vueuse/integrations/useCookies'

export default defineComponent({
  setup() {
    const cookies = useCookies(['locale'])
    return {
      cookies,
    }
  },
})
</script>

<template>
  <div>
    <strong>locale</strong>: {{ cookies.get('locale') }}
    <hr>
    <pre>{{ cookies.getAll() }}</pre>
    <button @click="cookies.set('locale', 'ru-RU')">
      Russian
    </button>
    <button @click="cookies.set('locale', 'en-US')">
      English
    </button>
  </div>
</template>

Options ​

Access and modify cookies using vue composition-api.

By default, you should use it inside setup(), but this function also works anywhere else.

ts
const { get, getAll, set, remove, addChangeListener, removeChangeListener } = useCookies(['cookie-name'], { doNotParse: false, autoUpdateDependencies: false })

dependencies (optional) ​

Let you optionally specify a list of cookie names your component depend on or that should trigger a re-render. If unspecified, it will render on every cookie change.

options (optional) ​

  • doNotParse (boolean = false): do not convert the cookie into an object no matter what. Passed as default value to get getAll methods.
  • autoUpdateDependencies (boolean = false): automatically add cookie names ever provided to get method. If true then you don't need to care about provided dependencies.

cookies (optional) ​

Let you provide a universal-cookie instance (creates a new instance by default)

Info about methods available in the universal-cookie api docs

createCookies([req]) ​

Create a universal-cookie instance using request (default is window.document.cookie) and returns useCookies function with provided universal-cookie instance
