Copy cookies to clipboard
Copy Cookies Extension
Copy all cookies used in the current tab to the clipboard.
You can invoke this extension using the shortcut key `Ctrl+Shift+K`. It functions similarly to the export feature of [EditThisCookie](http://editthiscookie.com/). The copied cookie objects, formatted in JSON, can be used with tools like [puppeteer](https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer).
For example, the cookies will be copied in a JSON format like this:
```json
[[
{
\"domain\": \".example.com\",
\"expirationDate\": 1777466749.229935,
\"hostOnly\": false,
\"httpOnly\": false,
\"name\": \"_sess_id\",
\"path\": \"/\",
\"sameSite\": \"no_restriction\",
\"secure\": true,
\"session\": false,
\"storeId\": \"0\",
\"value\": \"abcd1234-5678-90ef-ghij-klmnopqrstuv\"
},
{
\"domain\": \".example.com\",
\"expirationDate\": 1750682748,
\"hostOnly\": false,
\"httpOnly\": false,
\"name\": \"_tracking_id\",
\"path\": \"/\",
\"sameSite\": \"lax\",
\"secure\": false,
\"session\": false,
\"storeId\": \"0\",
\"value\": \"trk.1.1700000000000.123456789012345678\"
},
...
]
```
## Code Reference
The following code snippet (from `popup.js`) demonstrates the updated implementation. It uses `currentWindow: true` for reliably obtaining the active tab and leverages the modern Clipboard API with async/await to copy the cookies:
```js
(async function() {
\tlet [tab] = await chrome.tabs.query({active: true, currentWindow: true});
\tif (tab.url) {
\t\tchrome.cookies.getAll({ \"url\": tab.url }, async cookies => {
\t\t\ttry {
\t\t\t\tawait navigator.clipboard.writeText(JSON.stringify(cookies));
\t\t\t\tconsole.log(\"Cookies copied to clipboard.\");
\t\t\t} catch (err) {
\t\t\t\tconsole.error(\"Failed to copy cookies: \", err);
\t\t\t}
\t\t});
\t} else {
\t\tconsole.error(\"Unable to retrieve the tab URL.\");
\t}
})();
```
