This example shows basic usage of the YUI Cookie utility. The example checks the value of a cookie and then sets it to a new value.
+Description
+ +This example begins by getting the value of a cookie named "example". If this is the first time you've run
+the example, the value should be null:
+
+
var currentValue = Y.Cookie.get("example");
+
+
+This value is shown in the browser console. Next, the cookie is set to a random value:
+ +var newValue = "yui" + Math.round(Math.random() * Math.PI);
+Y.Cookie.set("example", newValue);
+
+
+When you reload the page, the value of the cookie should be the one that was just set.
+ +Note: this example uses session cookies, so the value will be lost when you close the browser.
+ +Complete Example Source
+ +<pre id="results"></pre>
+
+<script>
+YUI().use('node', 'cookie', function (Y) {
+
+ var pre = Y.one('#results'),
+ log = function(str) {
+ pre.append(str + '<br>\n');
+ };
+
+ var currentValue = Y.Cookie.get("example");
+ log("Cookie's current value is '" + currentValue + "'");
+
+ var newValue = "yui" + Math.round(Math.random() * Math.PI * 1000);
+ log("Setting cookie's value to '" + newValue + "'");
+ Y.Cookie.set("example", newValue);
+
