Setting Splash Widget Cookie Expiration in WAB

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

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: '/'
              });‍‍‍‍‍

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
