PhantomJS - addCookie()

The addCookie method adds cookies to the page specified. For the cookie to be added, the domain name has to match the page otherwise, the cookie is ignored. It returns true, if added successfully otherwise false. The Name, Value and Domain are mandatory fields in the addcookie method.

Right now, we will add cookies to the page a.html. Therefore, wpage.cookies will give the newly added cookie and the existing cookies present on page a.html.

Syntax

Its syntax is as follows −

phantom.addCookie({ 
   'name'     : 'cookie1',     /* mandatory property */ 
   'value'    : '1234',        /* mandatory property */ 
   'domain'   : 'localhost',   /* mandatory property */ 
   'path'     : '/', 
   'httponly' : true, 
   'secure'   : false, 
   'expires'  : (new Date()).getTime() + (5000 * 60 * 60) 
});

Example

Let us look at an example of the addCookie () method.

var wpage = require('webpage').create();  
phantom.addCookie ({ 
   'name'     : 'cookie1',      /* mandatory property */ 
   'value'    : '1234',         /* mandatory property */ 
   'domain'   : 'localhost',    /* mandatory property */ 
   'path'     : '/', 
   'httponly' : true, 
   'secure'   : false, 
   'expires'  : (new Date()).getTime() + (5000 * 60 * 60) 
});  
wpage.open ('http://localhost/tasks/a.html', function() { 
   console.log(JSON.stringify(wpage.cookies));
   phantom.exit(); 
});

The above program generates the following output.

[{"domain":".localhost","expires":"Sun, 07 May 2017 01:13:45 GMT","expiry":1494 
99825,"httponly":true,"name":"cookie1","path":"/","secure":false,"value":"1234" 
,{"domain":"localhost","expires":"Fri, 22 Dec 2017 12:00:00 GMT","expiry":15139 
4000,"httponly":false,"name":"username","path":"/tasks/","secure":false,"value" 
"Roy"}]
