How to set expiry date for a cookie in Angular 2? - cookies

Question

How to add expiry date to Angular 2 cookie. I am trying with Angular 2.0.0-beta.15. When i try to add options like below:
var expireDate = new Date (new Date().getTime() + (1000 * data.expires_in));
this._cookieService.put('token', this.token, {expires: expireDate});
above code throwing error like "[ts] Argument of type '{ expires: Date; }' is not assignable to parameter of type 'CookieOptionsArgs'.
Property 'path' is missing in type '{ expires: Date; }'. (local var)
expireDate: Date"
I can see on https://www.npmjs.com/package/angular2-cookie to override default options globally. I doubt if this is the method to add expiry date to cookie? Can somebody help me to understand more on this?

Answer 1

I have used this library with success: https://github.com/BCJTI/ng2-cookies. Use it like below with setting expiry date:
Include the lib:
import {Cookie} from 'ng2-cookies/ng2-cookies';
Set a cookie with expiry date of 365 days:
Cookie.setCookie("cookie-key", "cookie-value", 365);

Answer 2

A little bit late but Should be something like this
let key = 'testCookieKey';
let value = 'testCookieValue';
let opts: CookieOptionsArgs = {
expires: new Date('2030-07-19')
};
cookieService.put(key, value, opts);
Hope that

For Expiry date parameter in set cookies the value should be seconds to days calculation.
i.e. 2 min = (2/1440)
//use for 2 minutes....
auth-cookies.ts
import { Injectable } from '#angular/core';
import { Cookie } from 'ng2-cookies/ng2-cookies';
#Injectable()
export class AuthCookie {
constructor() { }
getAuth(): string {
return Cookie.get('id_token');
}
setAuth(value: string): void {
//0.0138889=20 minuts
//this accept day not minuts
//use for 20 minuts
Cookie.set('cookie_token', value, 0.0138889);
//use for 2 minuts
// Cookie.set('cookie_token', value,0.00138889)
}
deleteAuth(): void {
Cookie.delete('id_token');
}
}
i post it too late but hope this will be useful.
