Cookies subsequently sent by the browser can be read from the request.

module Bookshelf
  module Actions
    module Books
      class Index < Bookshelf::Action
        def handle(request, response)
          request.cookies["tasty_cookie"] # => "strawberry"
        end
      end
    end
  end
end

• :path - (nil by default), a relative URL
• :max_age - Integer (nil by default), cookie duration expressed in seconds
• :secure - Boolean (true by default if using SSL), restrict cookies to secure connections
• :httponly - Boolean (true by default), restrict JavaScript access to cookies

This configuration can be overridden within an action passing a hash, which has a value key representing the value of the cookie, and any properties to override.

module Bookshelf
  module Actions
    module Books
      class Index < Bookshelf::Action
        def handle(request, response)
          response.cookies["longer_lived_cookie"] = {
            value: "anzac_biscuit",
          }
        end
      end
    end
  end
end

To prevent cookies from being set in your actions, provide the following config to your app:

# config/app.rb
module Bookshelf
  class App < Hanami::App
    config.actions.cookies = nil
end
