cookie的用途:用于在客户端存储会话消息
相关API:doument.cookie;
创建cookie:document.cookie = newCookie;
newCookie是一个键值对形成的字符串,由以下几部分组成:
  • 名称(name=value):一个唯一确定的cookie名称
  • 域(;domain=domain) :对于哪个域是有效的,如果没有定义,默认为当前文档位置的路径的域名部分
  • 有效时间( expires=date-in-GMTString-format) 如果没有定义,cookie会在对话结束时过期 或( ;max-age=max-age-in-seconds )
  • 路径(;path=path)默认为当前文档位置的路径
  • 安全标志(;secure)设置以后,cookie只能通过https协议传输
获取cookie:alert(document.cookie);
cookie的值字符串可以用encodeURIComponent()来保证它不包含任何逗号、分号或空格
 以下是一个支持cookie读写的工具库源码
