Pure Javascript – store object in cookie

by

Try that one to write

function bake_cookie(name, value) {
  var cookie = [name, '=', JSON.stringify(value), '; domain=.', window.location.host.toString(), '; path=/;'].join('');
  document.cookie = cookie;
}

To read it take:

function read_cookie(name) {
 var result = document.cookie.match(new RegExp(name + '=([^;]+)'));
 result && (result = JSON.parse(result[1]));
 return result;
}

To delete it take:

function delete_cookie(name) {
  document.cookie = [name, '=; expires=Thu, 01-Jan-1970 00:00:01 GMT; path=/; domain=.', window.location.host.toString()].join('');
}

To serialize complex objects / instances, why not write a data dump function in your instance:

function userConstructor(name, street, city) {
   // ... your code
   this.dumpData = function() {
     return {
        'userConstructorUser': {
            name: this.name,
            street: this.street,
            city: this.city
         }
       }
    }

Then you dump the data, stringify it, write it to the cookie, and next time you want to use it just go:

  var mydata = JSON.parse(read_cookie('myinstances'));
  new userConstructor(mydata.name, mydata.street, mydata.city);
