Setting Splash Widget Cookie Expiration in WAB

Question

Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to have the splash widget cookie expire after a certain period of time? This way, after the period is over, the user would be presented with the splash screen and have to agree to the terms again. I found the following code in the widget.js file of the splash widget. onOkClick: function() { var isFirstKey = this._getCookieKey(); if (this._requireConfirm) { if (this.confirmCheck.getValue()) { if (TokenUtils.isInConfigOrPreviewWindow() || this._confirmEverytime) { cookie(isFirstKey, null, {expires: -1}); } else { cookie(isFirstKey, false, { expires: 1000, path: '/' }); } this.close(); } } else { if (this._showOption) { if (!TokenUtils.isInConfigOrPreviewWindow() && this.confirmCheck.getValue()) { cookie(isFirstKey, false, { expires: 1000, path: '/' }); } } else { cookie(isFirstKey, null, {expires: -1}); } this.close(); } },‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Does the expires: 1000 represent one thousand days? Any input is appreciated. Thank you. William

Hi Robert,

Thank you for the links and script. I had looked at the API Documentation - The Dojo Toolkit Version 1.10 for cookie, and the first example used {expires: 5} for an expiration 5 days from now. I thought maybe it was being used that way in WAB. I'll try your code and see what happens tomorrow afternoon.

Thanks.

William

William, I am not sure how they are using expires but if you look at the dojo/cookie doc it points to the MDN help for cookies Document.cookie - Web APIs | MDN and if you want to make the cookie expire after a certain time then you should use max-age. //86400 = 1 day cookie(isFirstKey, false, { max-age: 86400, path: '/' });‍‍‍‍‍
