Encoding Cookie Value

[jobartim44]

Hi,
I need to access the cookie value on the server-side with a Java Application (Apache Tomcat). For that the JSON String need to be encoded otherwise I have an exception.

It's simply a encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify(this.consents)) and JSON.parse(decodeURIComponent(e.value)).

Can you imagine it as an option in the configuration ?

Thanks

Hi,
It seems like a legit use case, I'm just wondering if we should add a specific configuration option (like encodeCookie: true), or something more generic that would allow the user to handle serialization any way he'd like. This could look like:

Orejime.init({
  stringifyCookie(consents) {
    return encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify(consents));
  },
  parseCookie(cookie) {
    return JSON.parse(decodeURIComponent(cookie));
  }
});

Of course those options would default to the current behavior if not specified.
Would that solution be ok to you?

The generic version is interesting, we could imagine someone wanting to crypt the data.

It ok to me.
