> Universal cookie plugin for Nuxt, perfect for SSR

You can use `cookie-universal-nuxt` to set, get and remove cookies in both client and server side nuxt apps.
`cookie-universal-nuxt` parse cookies with the popular [cookie node module](https://github.com/jshttp/cookie).

## Install
- yarn: `yarn add cookie-universal-nuxt`
- npm: `npm i --save cookie-universal-nuxt`

Add `cookie-universal-nuxt` to `nuxt.config.js`:

```js
{
  modules: [
    // Simple usage
    'cookie-universal-nuxt',

    // With options
    ['cookie-universal-nuxt', { alias: 'cookiz' }],
 ]
}
```

## ParseJSON

By default cookie-universal will try to parse to JSON, however you can disable this
functionality in several ways:

---

<details><summary>Disable globally</summary><p>

- Disable from the plugin options:

```
{
  modules: [
    ['cookie-universal-nuxt', { parseJSON: false }],
 ]
}
```
</p></details>

---

<details><summary>Disable globally on the fly</summary><p>

```js
// nuxt middleware
export default ({ app }) => {
  app.$cookies.parseJSON = false
}

// client
this.$cookies.parseJSON = false
```
</p></details>

---

<details><summary>Disable on a specific get request</summary><p>

```js
// nuxt middleware
export default ({ app }) => {
  app.$cookies.get('cookie-name', { parseJSON: false })
}

// client
this.$cookies.get('cookie-name', { parseJSON: false })
```
</p></details>
