# fetch-cookie [![npm version](http://img.shields.io/npm/v/fetch-cookie.svg?style=flat-square)](https://www.npmjs.org/package/fetch-cookie) > Decorator for a `fetch` function to support automatic cookies. Description ----------- This library is more suited to use with a Node.js `fetch` implementation like [node-fetch], since the browser version is supposed to let a way [to include cookies in requests][include]. [node-fetch]: https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-fetch [include]: http://updates.html5rocks.com/2015/03/introduction-to-fetch#sending-credentials-with-a-fetch-request Usage ----- ```js var fetch = require('fetch-cookie')(require('node-fetch')) ``` If you want to customize the [tough-cookie][] [`CookieJar`][cookie-jar] instance (for example, with a custom store), you can inject it as a second argument. [tough-cookie]: https://www.npmjs.com/package/tough-cookie [cookie-jar]: https://github.com/SalesforceEng/tough-cookie#cookiejar All calls to `fetch` will store and send back cookies according to the URL. Cookies and redirection ----------------------- By default, cookies are not set correctly in the edge case where a response sets cookies and redirects to another URL. A real-life example of this behaviour is a login page setting a session cookie and redirecting. The reason for this limitation is that the generic fetch API does not allow any way to hook into redirects. However, the [node-fetch] library does expose its own API which we can use. Long story short: if cookies during indirection turns out to be a requirement for you, and if you are using [node-fetch], then you can use the custom node-fetch decorator provided with this library: ```js var fetch = require('fetch-cookie/node-fetch')(require('node-fetch')) ```
