While utilizing the js.cookie.js library available on Github, I encountered a challenge when attempting to set a JSON cookie. According to the documentation for js.cookie.js, in order to set a JSON cookie, the following syntax should be used:
Cookies.set('name', { foo: 'bar' });
Subsequently, if you retrieve the cookie data using Cookies.getJSON('name');, the output will resemble the following:
{ foo: 'bar' }Now, my inquiry is how to dynamically set the value of foo from a JavaScript variable. During my attempt, the approach below did not yield the desired outcome:
var myVar = 'foo';
Cookies.set('name', { myVar: 'bar' });
Ultimately, the result was { myVar: 'bar' } instead of { foo: 'bar' }.
