# get-cookie

## What is it?

get-cookie is a command line utility that allows you to get the value of a cookie from your locally installed browser.

It is useful for testing web pages that require authentication.

## Installation

To install get-cookie, run the following command:

        $ npm install @mherod/get-cookie --global

**Note: Currently only macOS is supported. Windows support is planned for a future release.**

## How do I use it?

To use get-cookie, run the following command:

        $ get-cookie  

For example, to get the value of the `auth` cookie on the `www.example.com` domain, run the following command:

        $ get-cookie auth www.example.com

The output of the command will be the value of the cookie.

The library can also be used as a module.

```javascript

const { getCookie } = require("@mherod/get-cookie");

getCookie("auth", "www.example.com").then(console.log);

```
