Introduction
Type-safe cookie management with schema validation
Cookies
Cookies is a type-safe cookie management library with first-class support for schema validation. Define your cookies once with optional validation schemas and get full type inference when reading and writing.
Why Cookies?
- Type-safe — Full TypeScript inference for cookie values.
- Schema validation — First-class support for Standard Schema (Zod, Valibot, ArkType, etc.).
- Framework adapters — Built-in adapters for Next.js and browser environments.
- Automatic serialization — JSON values are automatically serialized and deserialized.
Quick Example
import { createCookie } from "@jlnstack/cookies/next"
import { z } from "zod"
const userPrefs = createCookie(
"user-prefs",
z.object({
theme: z.enum(["light", "dark"]),
language: z.string()
})
)
// Read cookie (returns undefined if missing or invalid)
const prefs = await userPrefs.get()
// Write cookie
await userPrefs.set({ theme: "dark", language: "en" })
// Delete cookie
await userPrefs.delete()
