req.signedCookies

A dictionary containing all the signed cookies from the request object, where a signed cookie is one that is protected against modification by the client. This protection is provided by a Base64-encoded HMAC of the cookie value. When retrieving the cookie, if the HMAC signature does not match based on the cookie's value, then the cookie is not available as a member of the req.signedCookies object.

Purpose

A dictionary containing all of the signed cookies from this request (req).

Usage

req.signedCookies;

Example

Adding a signed cookie named "chocolatechip" with value "Yummy:

res.cookie('chocolatechip', 'Yummy', {signed:true});

Retrieving the cookie:

req.signedCookies.chocolatechip;
// "Yummy"

Built with Love

The Sails framework is built by a web & mobile shop in Austin, TX, with the help of our contributors. We created Sails in 2012 to assist us on Node.js projects. Naturally we open-sourced it. We hope it makes your life a little bit easier!
