Question

I have a getter to get the value from a cookie.

Now I have 2 cookies by the name shares= and by the name obligations= .

I want to

Answer 1

4 years later, ES6 way simpler version.

function getCookie(name) {
  let cookie = {};
  document.cookie.split(';').forEach(function(el) {
    let [k,v] = el.split('=');
    cookie[k.trim()] = v;
  })
  return cookie[name];
}

I have also created a gist to use it as a Cookie object. e.g., Cookie.set(name,value) and Cookie.get(name)

This read all cookies instead of scanning through. It's ok for small number of cookies.
