jQuery can't read cookie using jquery.cookie plugin

Question

Hy,

I'm developing a website in ASP.NET MVC 5 on my local machine. I'm trying to read a cookie, which I've set by the backend. jQuery and the cookie plugin is included in my code. My code:

var test = $.cookie['test'];

The cookie "test" exist with following properties:

• Name: test
• Value: test
• Domain: localhost
• Path: /
• Expires: Session

I've read many posts about issues with cookies, but nothing worked for me.

Answer 1

$.cookie is a function so you need to invoke it(by using () at the end), you are trying to read a property called test

var test = $.cookie('test');
