Laravel $_COOKIE is not working in any browser except chrome

Time:02-25

I created a dark and light mode in my laravel project and whenever the vue JS toggle is clicked it should create a cookie that saves the value. It works perfectly fine on google chrome but when i tried it on edge and firefox it showed (Undefined array key "isDarkModeOn").

I just want this cookie to be saved to any browser

My toggle Vue component which includes create cookie

<template>
    <div
        
        @click="store.modeToggle(), modeToggle()"
    >
        <div
            
            :
        >
            <div
                
                :
            ></div>
        </div>
    </div>
</template>

<script>
import { store } from "./store.js";
export default {
    props: ["theme"],
    data() {
        return {
            store,
        };
    },
    mounted() {
        if (this.theme === "false") {
            store.light();
        } else {
            store.dark();
        }
    },
    methods: {
        dark() {
            this.$emit("dark");
        },
        light() {
            this.$emit("light");
        },

        modeToggle() {
            if (
                this.darkMode ||
                document.querySelector("body").classList.contains("dark")
            ) {
                this.light();
            } else {
                this.dark();
            }
            const isDarkModeOn = store.toggleActive;
            createCookie("isDarkModeOn", isDarkModeOn.toString(), 60 * 60 * 24);
        },
    },
};
</script>

<style></style>

my Js file which contains the logic for creating the cookie

function createCookie(name, value, timeInSeconds) {
    var date = new Date();
    date.setTime(date.getTime()   timeInSeconds * 1000);
    var expires = "; expires="   date.toGMTString();

    document.cookie = name   "="   value   expires   "; path=/";
}

function getCookie(cname) {
    let name = cname   "=";
    let decodedCookie = decodeURIComponent(document.cookie);
    let ca = decodedCookie.split(";");
    for (let i = 0; i < ca.length; i  ) {
        let c = ca[i];
        while (c.charAt(0) == " ") {
            c = c.substring(1);
        }
        if (c.indexOf(name) == 0) {
            return c.substring(name.length, c.length);
        }
    }
    return "";
}

window.onload = function () {
    const isDarkModeOn = getCookie("isDarkModeOn");
    if (isDarkModeOn === "true") document.body.classList.add("dark");
};

and this is how I tell browser to display dark class or hide it according to the cookie if it exists

<body id="app" style="font-family: Open Sans, sans-serif" >

It works on chrome but not on any other browser.

Also when testing in Laravel like this

        @if ($value = $_COOKIE['isDarkModeOn'])
            {{ $value }}
        @else
            'not found'
        @endif

It echos the value not problem so since there is a cookie why any other browser can't identify it

CodePudding user response:

As for your test, you should use something more safe (doesnt trigger an error when absent)

@if (isset($_COOKIE['isDarkModeOn']))
    {{ $_COOKIE['isDarkModeOn'] }}
@else
    'not found'
@endif

CodePudding user response:

Issue is solved by adding the below lines of code before the body

<?php

if (isset($_COOKIE['isDarkModeOn'])) {
    $cookie = $_COOKIE['isDarkModeOn'];
} else {
    $cookie = '';
}

?>

Not the best way to do it but It did the trick
