All cookies created by the Laravel framework are encrypted and signed with an authentication code, meaning they will be considered invalid if they have been changed by the client.

In this guide, I’m going to share how to set, get and remove cookie in Laravel. Let’s start:

Set Cookie

We can set cookie in a few ways. I’m going to share 2 ways here. Here’s the first way:

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Cookie;

public function index(Request $request)
{
    $minutes = 10;
    Cookie::queue(Cookie::make('name', 'MyValue', $minutes));
}

Second way: We can attach cookie to a Illuminate\Http\Response instance using the withCookie method:

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

public function index(Request $request)
{
    $minutes = 10;
    return response()
    ->json(['success' => true])
    ->withCookie(cookie('name', 'MyValue', $minutes));

Get Cookie

See all cookies:

dd(request()->cookie());

Retrieve specific cookie:

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Cookie;

public function index(Request $request)
{
    $value = Cookie::get('name');
    echo $value;
}

We can use this one to get specific cookie:

$value = request()->cookie('name');

Delete Cookie

Cookie can be deleted in this way:

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Cookie;

public function index(Request $request)
{
    Cookie::queue(Cookie::forget('name'));
}

That’s all. Thanks for reading. ?
