JavaScript: Tips of the Day

Parse an HTTP Cookie header string and return an object of all cookie name-value pairs

Example:

const parseCookie = str =>
  str
    .split(';')
    .map(v => v.split('='))
    .reduce((acc, v) => {
      acc[decodeURIComponent(v[0].trim())] = decodeURIComponent(v[1].trim());
      return acc;
    }, {});
console.log(parseCookie('foo=bar; equation=E%3Dmc%5E2')); // { foo: 'bar', equation: 'E=mc^2' }

Output:

[object Object] {
  equation: "E=mc^2",
  foo: "bar"
}
