Retrieving Cookies From The Request
All cookies created by the Laravel framework are encrypted and signed with an authentication code,
meaning they will be considered invalid if they have been changed by the client. To retrieve a cookie
value from the request, you may use the cookie method on the Illuminate\Http\Request instance:
1 $value = $request->cookie('name');
Attaching A New Cookie To A Response
Laravel provides a global cookie helper function which serves as a simple factory for generating
new Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Cookie instances. The cookies may be attached to a
Illuminate\Http\Response instance using the withCookie method:
1 $response = new Illuminate\Http\Response('Hello World');
2
3 $response->withCookie('name', 'value', $minutes);
4
5 return $response;
To create a long-lived cookie, which lasts for five years, you may use the forever method on the
cookie factory by first calling the cookie helper with no arguments, and then chaining the forever
method onto the returned cookie factory:
1 $response->withCookie(cookie()->forever('name', 'value'));
