Dynamic Status Message with Astro

This is an example that uses server cookies to set a status message that is displayed on the page.

Deploy to Netlify

Check out the demo site or click the button below to deploy your own copy of the example.

How it works

The home page has two buttons that both trigger status messages. The first shows a simple "Success!!" while the second lets you customize the message.

These buttons are really just forms that submit a POST request to the /actions/set-status endpoint. This endpoint sets a cookie with the status message and redirects back to the home page.

The home page then reads the cookie and stores the value in a variable. The cookies is deleted and the value displayed on the page.
