How to create and destroy cookie in Laravel 5.7?

I am a novice in Laravel, I have made a simple hello program in Laravel and I want to use a cookie in my program. How do I create and delete a cookie in Laravel? Also, how do I set session in Laravel?

Answer

Set cookie: Cookie::queue(Cookie::make('cookieName', 'value', $minutes));

Get cookie: $value = $request->cookie('cookieName'); or $value = Cookie::get('cookieName');

Forget/remove cookie: Cookie::queue(Cookie::forget('cookieName'));

Check if cookie exist: Cookie::has('cookiename'); or $request->hasCookie('cookiename') will return true or false

For more detail, you can refer to the documentation:
