Extjs : How to 'real' clear a cookie

Code

If you are in extjs application designing and coding, you might need to use use ‘Ext.util.Cookies.*’ function.

  • Ext.util.Cookies.get(‘my_cookie’) : get cookie value
  • Ext.util.Cookies.get(‘my_cookie’, ‘cookie_value’) : set cookie value
  • Ext.util.Cookies.clear(‘my_cookie’) : clear cookie

Ext.util.Cookies.set('my_cookie', null, new Date("January 1, 1970"));
Ext.util.Cookies.clear('my_cookie');
