How to retain cookies in node-webkit
You can get auth cookies using this instructions:https://github.com/nwjs/nw.js/wiki/window#windowcookies
Save it with prefered method:https://github.com/nwjs/nw.js/wiki/Save-persistent-data-in-app
On next start just check that record exists, and set cookies with method from 1.
Should be something like this:
var gui = require('nw.gui');var win = gui.Window.get();function login() { var opts = {}; if(localStorage.auth) { opts.cookies: [ 'Auth': localStorage.auth ]; } someRequest.get(opts, function(result) { if(result) localStorage.auth = win.cookies.get('auth'); });}
As of 2018, NW.js retains cookies and other persistent browser data by default. These are stored in %LOCALAPPDATA%/name-in-manifest/ in Windows or equivalent depending on OS. Nothing is required from the application itself, you do not have to persist cookie data manually in local storage.
