shared-cookies

A cookie parsing middleware for both Express (4+) and Socket.IO (1+). This module will simplify accessing secured cookies from both Express and Socket.IO.

var app = require('express')();
var server = require('http').createServer(app);
var io = require('socket.io')(server);
var cookies = require('shared-cookies')({ secret: 'keyboard cat' });

app.use(cookies.express);
io.use(cookies.socket);

app.get('/', function(req, res) {
  // req.cookies
});

io.on('connection', function(socket) {
  // socket.cookies
});

server.listen(3000, function() {
  debug('server listening');
});
