// This has five internal methods
const webCookie = cookie.web();

// server(...) is it's own method
const serverCookie = cookie.server(...);

web()

Used for setting cookies on the web. It returns the following methods.

set(key: string, value: string, options?: SetWebCookieOptions) => boolean

Set a cookie client side using javascript.

get(key: string) => string | null

Get the specific value of a cookie string.

delete(key: string) => boolean

Delete a cookie that was already set.

update(key: string, value: string, options?: SetWebCookieOptions) => boolean

Update a cookie client side using javascript; It calls cookie().set(...) under the hood but with the extra step of validating whether or not the cookie exists.

keys() => string[] | null

View all available cookie keys.

values() => string[] | null

View all available cookie values.

server(key: string, value: string, options?: SetServerCookieOptions)

It returns a string that you can use to set a Set-Cookie header.
