# cookie

This block is part of the [`http connection`](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/http%20connection) group and was last modified in core [`v12.0.4`](https://docs.rual.nl/core-versions/120004).

Returns the cookie with the given name.

- connection required `httpconnection`

- name required `value` The name of the cookie

- value `value` The value of the cookie

Outputs the value of the cookie named ui-<name>: the name pin is automatically prefixed with "ui-", so name=session reads the cookie ui-session from the request Cookie header. Emits nil when the cookie is absent or the connection is unwired.

A typical wiring for [cookie](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/http%2520connection/httpconnection_get_cookie): [value](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/value/value_default) feeds the `name` pin; the `value` out pin feeds [convert to uppercase](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/value/value_to_uppercase).
