refreshCookie

Refresh useCookie values manually when a cookie has changed

This utility is available since Nuxt v3.10.

Purpose

The refreshCookie function is designed to refresh cookie value returned by useCookie.

This is useful for updating the useCookie ref when we know the new cookie value has been set in the browser.

Usage

app.vue
<script setup lang="ts">
const tokenCookie = useCookie('token')

const login = async (username, password) => {
  const token = await $fetch('/api/token', { ... }) // Sets `token` cookie on response
  refreshCookie('token')
}

const loggedIn = computed(() => !!tokenCookie.value)
</script>
You can enable experimental cookieStore option to automatically refresh useCookie value when cookie changes in the browser.

Type

refreshCookie(name: string): void
