Rails源码研究之ActionController:五，cookies

cookies.rb:
[code]
module ActionController
module Cookies
protected
def cookies
CookieJar.new(self)
end
end

class CookieJar < Hash
def initialize(controller)
@controller, @cookies = controller, controller.request.cookies
super()
update(@cookies)
end
def [](name)
@cookies[name.to_s].value.first if @cookies[name.to_s] && @cookies[name.to_s].respond_to?(:value)
end
def []=(name, options)
if options.is_a?(Hash)
options = options.inject({}) { |options, pair| options[pair.first.to_s] = pair.last; options }
options["name"] = name.to_s
else
options = { "name" => name.to_s, "value" => options }
end

set_cookie(options)
end
def delete(name)
set_cookie("name" => name.to_s, "value" => "", "expires" => Time.at(0))
end

private
def set_cookie(options)
options["path"] = "/" unless options["path"]
cookie = CGI::Cookie.new(options)
@controller.logger.info "Cookie set: #{cookie}" unless @controller.logger.nil?
@controller.response.headers["cookie"] << cookie
end
end
end
[/code]
我们看到Cookies模块定义了cookies方法返回初始化的CookieJar类，而CookieJar继承于Hash类，CookieJar初始化时@cookies = controller.request.cookies
CookieJar中重载了[]和[]=方法以及delete方法，这样我们就可以直接在controller里使用cookies[]来得到和设置cookie了
具体操作set_cookie则是在response.headers里加入CGI:Cookie对象
CGI:Cookie的定义见action_controller\cgi_ext\cookie_performance_fix.rb:
[code]
CGI.module_eval { remove_const "Cookie" }
class CGI
class Cookie < DelegateClass(Array)
...
end
end
[/code]
CGI:Cookie类代理到Array类
