Cookies in ASP vnext

Question

How can i use cookies in ASP MVC 6? I want to set and read cookie variables .

HttpCookie class can't be resolved .

Only the following line works but i couldn't find a way to read the cookie after adding it . Response.Cookies.Append("test", "test");

Answer 1

Take a look at how cookies are used in the official MusicStore sample: https://github.com/aspnet/MusicStore/blob/a7ba4f8ffe5ed23b2a2d55e8e1226e64066a7ada/src/MusicStore/Models/ShoppingCart.cs#L152

public string GetCartId(HttpContext context) 
{ 
    var sessionCookie = context.Request.Cookies.Get("Session"); 

Answer 2

The answer from Victor Hurdugaci applies to pre-RC2 releases and this was changed a little bit, so here is the current (and hopefully final) stage:

You set the cookie on the Response by:

HttpContext.Response.Cookies.Append("key", "value");

Here cookies is an IResponseCookies. You can only write to it.

This will be then sent to the browser.

You can read the cookies sent by the browser on the Request object:

HttpContext.Request.Cookies["key"]

Here Cookies is an IRequestCookieCollection, so you can also read from it.
