What problem are you trying to solve?
Saving cookies between requests without manually managing the cookie jar.
Describe the feature
import got, {createSession} from 'got';
const sessionGot = createSession();
// The cookie is saved within the cookie jar of the session
await sessionGot('http://httpbin.org/cookies/set?my_cookie=my_value');
await sessionGot('http://httpbin.org/cookies', {responseType: 'json', resolveBodyOnly: true});
//=> {cookies: {my_cookie: 'my_value'}}
// The automatically initialised cookie jar
console.log(sessionGot.cookies);
//=> {my_cookie: 'my_value'}
// The cookies only apply to the session
await got('http://httpbin.org/cookies', {responseType: 'json', resolveBodyOnly: true});
//=> {cookies: {}}Could this also work with caching?
With current APIs:
import got from 'got';
import {CookieJar} from 'tough-cookie';
const cookieJar = new CookieJar();
await got('http://httpbin.org/cookies/set?my_cookie=my_value', {cookieJar});
await got('http://httpbin.org/cookies', {cookieJar, responseType: 'json', resolveBodyOnly: true});
//=> {cookies: {my_cookie: 'my_value'}}Checklist
- I have read the documentation and made sure this feature doesn't already exist.
