Parse document.cookie into object

parsecookie.js

document.cookie.split(';').map(function(c) {
  return c.trim().split('=').map(decodeURIComponent);
}).reduce(function(a, b) {
  try {
    a[b[0]] = JSON.parse(b[1]);
  } catch (e) {
    a[b[0]] = b[1];
  }
  return a;
}, {});

so these are neat, but does someone have one that's actually been properly tested?

@12Me21 I actually just ran into an issue using the reduce method. Seems that cookies with long values eventually get cut off, leading to obvious issues when you try do something with that value. I've instead opted to use the Object.fromEntries version with no issues so far

I've been using this:

function read_cookies() {
	let cookies = {}
	for (let item of document.cookie.split(";")) {
		let match = item.match(/^\s*([^]*?)="?([^]*?)"?\s*$/)
		if (match)
			cookies[match[1]] = decodeURIComponent(match[2])
	}
	return cookies
}

Rewrite to work on older browsers / js versions:

Object.fromEntries(document.cookie.split(/; */).map(function(c) {
    var index = c.indexOf("=");     // Find the index of the first equal sign
    var key   = c.slice(0, index);  // Everything upto the index is the key
    var value = c.slice(index + 1); // Everything after the index is the value

    // Return the key and value
    return [ decodeURIComponent(key), decodeURIComponent(value) ];
}));

Object.fromEntries(document.cookie.split('; ').map(v=>v.split(/=(.*)/s).map(decodeURIComponent)))

+1, thanks for the helpful code!
