Represents a state Var that is stored as a cookie in the browser. Currently only supports string values.

Parameters

• name : The name of the cookie on the client side.
• path: The cookie path. Use / to make the cookie accessible on all pages.
• max_age : Relative max age of the cookie in seconds from when the client receives it.
• domain: Domain for the cookie (e.g., sub.domain.com or .allsubdomains.com).
• secure: If the cookie is only accessible through HTTPS.
• same_site: Whether the cookie is sent with third-party requests. Can be one of (True, False, None, lax, strict).

class CookieState(rx.State):
    c1: str = rx.Cookie()
    c2: str = rx.Cookie("c2 default")

    # cookies with custom settings
    c3: str = rx.Cookie(max_age=2)  # expires after 2 second
    c4: str = rx.Cookie(same_site="strict")
    c5: str = rx.Cookie(
        path="/foo/"
    )  # only accessible on `/foo/`
    c6: str = rx.Cookie(name="c6-custom-name")

Cookies are accessed like any other Var in the state. If another state needs access to the value of a cookie, the state should be a substate of the state that defines the cookie. Alternatively the get_state API can be used to access the other state.

For rendering cookies in the frontend, import the state that defines the cookie and reference it directly.

Remove a cookie from the client's browser.

Parameters:

• key: The name of cookie to remove.

rx.button("Remove cookie", on_click=rx.remove_cookie("key"))

This event can also be returned from an event handler:

class CookieState(rx.State):
    ...

    def logout(self):
        return rx.remove_cookie("auth_token")

Represents a state Var that is stored in localStorage in the browser. Currently only supports string values.

Parameters

• name: The name of the storage key on the client side.
• sync: Boolean indicates if the state should be kept in sync across tabs of the same browser.

class LocalStorageState(rx.State):
    # local storage with default settings
    l1: str = rx.LocalStorage()

    # local storage with custom settings
    l2: str = rx.LocalStorage("l2 default")
    l3: str = rx.LocalStorage(name="l3")

    # local storage that automatically updates in other states across tabs
    l4: str = rx.LocalStorage(sync=True)

Because LocalStorage applies to the entire browser, all LocalStorage Vars are automatically shared across tabs.

The sync parameter controls whether an update in one tab should be actively propagated to other tabs without requiring a navigation or page refresh event.

Remove a local storage item from the client's browser.

Parameters

• key: The key to remove from local storage.

rx.button(
    "Remove Local Storage",
    on_click=rx.remove_local_storage("key"),
)

This event can also be returned from an event handler:

class LocalStorageState(rx.State):
    ...

    def logout(self):
        return rx.remove_local_storage(
            "local_storage_state.l1"
        )

Clear all local storage items from the client's browser. This may affect other apps running in the same domain or libraries within your app that use local storage.

rx.button(
    "Clear all Local Storage",
    on_click=rx.clear_local_storage(),
)

If a non-trivial data structure should be stored in a Cookie or LocalStorage var it needs to be serialized before and after storing it. It is recommended to use rx.Base for the data which provides simple serialization helpers and works recursively in complex object structures.
