How to set/get cookies?

Hi - I’m trying to get back into seaside, and I’m trying to understand how you get/set cookies? I can see WACookie and WARequest has a #cookieAt: method - but I’m missing the key piece about where in your application lifecycle you can access these things to store for example a user preference (without going full hog with a database).

Re: How to set/get cookies?

Hi Tim,

Getting cookies, by accessing the WARequest instance from within your callback/rendering code:

self requestContext request cookieAt: ‘myCookie'

Setting cookies, by accessing the WAResponse instance from within your rendering code:

self requestContext response addCookie:
(self requestContext newCookie
path:’/myApp';
key: ‘myCookie';
value: ‘myCookie').

Hope this puts you on your way!

Cheers
Johan

Re: How to set/get cookies?

Thanks - that #requestContext was the bit I was missing.

Is this documented anywhere obvious? I searched all over to find something and couldn't easily discover it. None of the tutorials dig into this, nor the Seaside book (I guess we could get it updated as I think seaside still has legs to it).

Possibly we could put a comment in WACookie - as I found it? Or maybe a more e2e test?
