Get cookie by name

I have a getter to get the value from a cookie.

Now I have 2 cookies by the name shares= and by the name obligations= .

I want to

Answer 1

I have modified the function that Jonathan provided here, by using regular expression you can get a cookie value by its name like this:

function getCookie(name){
    var pattern = RegExp(name + "=.[^;]*")
    var matched = document.cookie.match(pattern)
    if(matched){
        var cookie = matched[0].split('=')
        return cookie[1]
    }
    return false
}

If it returns empty string it means that the cookie exists but has no value, if it returns false then the cookie doesn't exist. I hope this helps.
