request.cookie(name, cfg)

Read a cookie from the request. Optionally the cookie's signature can be verified.

Parameter

• name: the name of the cookie to read from the request.
• cfg (optional): an object with any of the following properties:
  • signed (optional): an object with any of the following properties:
  • secret: a secret string that was used to sign the cookie.
  • algorithm: hashing algorithm that was used to sign the cookie. Default: "sha256".

If signed is a string, it will be used as the secret instead.

If a secret is provided, a second cookie with the name name + ".sig" will be read and its value will be verified as the cookie value's signature.

If the cookie is not set or its signature is invalid, "undefined" will be returned instead.

@EXAMPLES

var sid = request.cookie("sid", {signed: "keyboardcat"});
