# CookiesBundle

Cookies bundle provides Symfony way to handle cookies defining them as services. This allows changing the values of the service and the bundle handles the actual creation and updates of cookies.

## Install bundle

To install this bundle add it to composer.

```bash

composer require ongr/cookies-bundle

```

Then register it in `AppKernel.php`

```php

class AppKernel extends Kernel
{
public function registerBundles()
{
return [
// ...
new ONGR\CookiesBundle\ONGRCookiesBundle(),
];
}

// ...
}

```

That's it - the bundle is ready for work.

## Working with cookies

### How to define a cookie model

ONGR provides cookie model abstraction for working with cookie values in the request and response.

One can define a service:

```yaml

parameters:
project.cookie.foo.name: cookie_foo
project.cookie.foo.defaults: # Defaults section is optional
http_only: false
expires_interval: P5DT4H # 5 days and 4 hours

services:
project.cookie.foo:
class: %ongr_cookie.json.class%
arguments: [ %project.cookie.foo.name% ]
calls:
- [setDefaults, [%project.cookie.foo.defaults%]] # Optional
tags:
- { name: ongr_cookie.cookie }

```
> `Notice` Cookie models' names of a cookie service should not contain dot symbol '.' and must be the same as cookie names that need to be modeled.

Such injected service allows accessing cookie value. If the value has been modified by your code, it will send new value back to the client browser.
Manipulating cookie values with ONGR Cookies Bundle is very easy: you need to get the cookie model service and from it you can get the cookie value
with `getValue()` method and set the value with `setValue(mixed $value)` method.

```php

class CookieController
{
use ContainerAwareTrait;

public function updateAction()
{
/** @var JsonCookie $cookie */
$cookie = $this->container->get('project.cookie.foo');
$cookie->setValue(['bar']);
// Cookie has been marked as dirty and will be updated in the response.
$cookie->setExpiresTime(2000000000);

return new JsonResponse();
}
}

```

### Default values

Possible `setDefaults` keys (default values if unspecified):

- `domain` - string (null)

- `path` - string ('/')

- `http_only` - boolean (true)

- `secure` - boolean (false)

- `expires_time` - integer (0)

- `expires_interval` - [DateInterval](http://php.net/manual/en/dateinterval.construct.php) string (null)

These values are used to initialize the cookie model if cookie does not exist in client's browser.

### Model types

Currently, there are these pre-configured classes one can use:

- `%ongr_cookie.json.class%` - one can work with it's value as it was a PHP array. In the background, value is encoded and decoded back using JSON format.

- `%ongr_cookie.generic.class%` works with plain string data. Other cookie formats can be created by extending this class.

### Manually setting cookie

If a cookie with the same name, path and domain is added to the response object, it's value is not overwritten with the changed cookie model data.

### Deleting cookie

To remove a cookie from the client browser, use `$cookie->setClear(true)`. All other model values will be ignored.

## Components

1. `CookieModelListener` - event listener responsible for listening for ``kernel.request`` and ``kernel.response``
events;

2. `CookieInjector` - service doing the heavy lifting (gets and sets cookies).

3. `Cookie Models` all implementing `CookieInterface` via `GenericCookie` class. Basic cookie fields
(domain, expires, etc.) are placed in `CookieFieldsTrait` trait. `Cookie Models` are responsible for loading the raw
mixed data into an nice PHP object (implementation is customizable and may differ per-model) and returning cookie-izable
raw data when the need arises.

## How it works?

1. Symfony receives a request. `kernel.request` event is fired. `CookieModelListener` is listening.

2. `CookieModelListener`'s `onKernelRequest` method is called, `GetResponseEvent` is passed to it.
``onKernelRequest`` calls ``CookieInjector``'s ``inject`` method.

3. `CookieInjector` iterates through registered `Cookie Models`, gets raw data for each one and calls a
`Cookie Model`'s ``load`` method to load the data from the cookie.

4. Now we have a nice cookie-based object available!

5. We do whatever we need to do,

6. Symfony prepares to return a response. `kernel.response` event is fired. Once again, `CookieModelListener` is listening.

7. `CookieModelListener` 's `onKernelResponse` method is called, `FilterResponseEvent` is passed to it.
`onKernelResponse` calls `CookieInjector`'s `update` method.

8. `CookieInjector` iterates through cookies to be sent to the client, "flattens" them, and then iterates through
registered `Cookie Models`, calling `toCookie` method to get the data to be stored in the cookie. If `Cookie Model`'s
`clear` property is set to true, the cookie is cleared, otherwise it is saved.

9. Our cookie is either saved and sent to the users' browser or cleared from it.

10. Everyone is happy.

## Configuration of `Cookie Models`

`Cookie Models` are described as any other Symfony service, with one significant difference: tag `ongr_cookie.cookie`
is used to denote that the service is a `Cookie Model`. All services tagged with this tag are collected in a separate
compiler pass and added to the `ongr_cookie.injector` service by appending `addCookieModel` call to its' definition.

Cookie models' names of a cookie service should not contain dot symbol '.' and must be the same as cookie names that need
to be modeled.
