Include in a cookie jar to allow chaining, e.g. cookies.permanent.signed.
Returns a jar that'll automatically encrypt cookie values before sending them to the client and will decrypt them for read. If the cookie was tampered with by the user (or a 3rd party), nil
will be returned.
If config.action_dispatch.encrypted_cookie_salt
and config.action_dispatch.encrypted_signed_cookie_salt
are both set, legacy cookies encrypted with HMAC AES-256-CBC will be transparently upgraded.
This jar requires that you set a suitable secret for the verification on your app's secret_key_base
.
Example:
cookies.encrypted[:discount] = 45
# => Set-Cookie: discount=DIQ7fw==--K3n//8vvnSbGq9dA--7Xh91HfLpwzbj1czhBiwOg==; path=/
cookies.encrypted[:discount] # => 45
Returns a jar that'll automatically set the assigned cookies to have an expiration date 20 years from now. Example:
cookies.permanent[:prefers_open_id] = true
# => Set-Cookie: prefers_open_id=true; path=/; expires=Sun, 16-Dec-2029 03:24:16 GMT
This jar is only meant for writing. You'll read permanent cookies through the regular accessor.
This jar allows chaining with the signed jar as well, so you can set permanent, signed cookies. Examples:
cookies.permanent.signed[:remember_me] = current_user.id
# => Set-Cookie: remember_me=BAhU--848956038e692d7046deab32b7131856ab20e14e; path=/; expires=Sun, 16-Dec-2029 03:24:16 GMT
Returns a jar that'll automatically generate a signed representation of cookie value and verify it when reading from the cookie again. This is useful for creating cookies with values that the user is not supposed to change. If a signed cookie was tampered with by the user (or a 3rd party), nil
will be returned.
This jar requires that you set a suitable secret for the verification on your app's secret_key_base
.
Example:
cookies.signed[:discount] = 45
# => Set-Cookie: discount=BAhpMg==--2c1c6906c90a3bc4fd54a51ffb41dffa4bf6b5f7; path=/
cookies.signed[:discount] # => 45
Returns the signed
or encrypted
jar, preferring encrypted
if secret_key_base
is set. Used by ActionDispatch::Session::CookieStore
to avoid the need to introduce new cookie stores.
