Example

Basic Usage

import { getCookieByName } from 'ranuts';

const token = getCookieByName('token');
console.log(token); // Cookie value or empty string

Difference from getCookie

import { getCookie, getCookieByName } from 'ranuts';

// getCookie uses string splitting
const value1 = getCookie('token');

// getCookieByName uses regular expression
const value2 = getCookieByName('token');

// Both have same functionality but different implementation

import { getCookieByName } from 'ranuts';

const sessionId = getCookieByName('sessionId');
if (sessionId) {
  console.log('Session ID:', sessionId);
} else {
  console.log('Session ID does not exist');
}

Notes

Regex matching: Uses regular expression to match Cookie, supports cases where Cookie name has spaces before/after.
Server-side safety: Returns empty string in server-side environments (no window object), won't throw errors.
Difference from getCookie: Same functionality, but getCookieByName uses regular expression, getCookie uses string splitting.
Return value: Returns empty string when Cookie doesn't exist, not null or undefined.
