Question 1

How to set cookie expiration in hours with CrumbsJS?

Accepted Answer

CrumbsJS only supports expiration in days by default; you need to calculate days manually or extend the library, as shown in the README with day-based parameters like {type:'day', value:7}.

Question 2

CrumbsJS vs js-cookie: which is better?

Accepted Answer

CrumbsJS offers a unified API for cookies and local storage with batch operations, while js-cookie is cookie-specific and more focused. Choose CrumbsJS if you need local storage integration; js-cookie might be simpler for cookie-only tasks.

Question 3

Does CrumbsJS support JSON objects in local storage?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but you must manually stringify and parse JSON objects, similar to native local storage. Use crumbs.ls.set('key', JSON.stringify(obj)) and JSON.parse on retrieval for proper handling.

Question 4

How does CrumbsJS handle private browsing in Safari?

Accepted Answer

It automatically falls back to cookies when local storage is unavailable, as mentioned in the features, ensuring data persistence without extra code for edge cases.

Question 5

Is CrumbsJS compatible with TypeScript?

Accepted Answer

The library is vanilla JavaScript, so TypeScript support requires manual type definitions; no built-in types are provided in the README or npm package.

Question 6

Can I use CrumbsJS with Node.js?

Accepted Answer

No, CrumbsJS is designed for browser environments since it relies on cookies and local storage APIs; it won't work in Node.js without a DOM simulation like jsdom.

Question 7

How to delete all cookies for a specific path with CrumbsJS?

Accepted Answer

The deleteAll method removes all cookies without path specification; for path-specific deletion, you might need to loop through cookies manually using native APIs, as CrumbsJS doesn't expose this in its API.
