-== Cookies ==
-
-Your application can store small amounts of data on the client - called cookies - that will be persisted across requests and even sessions. Rails provides easy access to cookies via the `cookies` method, which - much like the `session` - works like a hash:
-
-[source, ruby]
------------------------------------------
-class CommentsController < ApplicationController
-
- def new
- #Auto-fill the commenter's name if it has been stored in a cookie
- @comment = Comment.new(:name => cookies[:commenter_name])
- end
-
- def create
- @comment = Comment.new(params[:comment])
- if @comment.save
- flash[:notice] = "Thanks for your comment!"
- if params[:remember_name]
- # Remember the commenter's name
- cookies[:commenter_name] = @comment.name
- else
- # Don't remember, and delete the name if it has been remembered before
- cookies.delete(:commenter_name)
- end
- redirect_to @comment.article
- else
- render :action => "new"
- end
- end
-
-end
------------------------------------------
-
-Note that while for session values you set the key to `nil`, to delete a cookie value you should use `cookies.delete(:key)`.
