Angularjs cookies - How to use them across controllers
angularjs, cookies, cookiestore
Solution
Took your advice Greg and went for localstorage instead.
For anyone else having issues and looking for a suitable approach, I used: https://github.com/grevory/angular-local-storage
It degrades gracefully to cookies when localstorage isn't available

Problem
There doesn't seem to be any really clear documentation on cookie use with AngularJS so I'm a bit lost with this. I have two controllers, one creates a cookie and stores a users ID, and then I want to retrieve that ID later when another controller is running. I think I've successfully created the cookie and stored a value for id, however I can't seem to get the id back out of the cookie in the 2nd controller. I get the error in my console when I try to read the id: ``` TypeError: 'undefined' is not an object ``` PS: I'm working in Xcode as this is within an ios app for iPhone. ``` function firstCtrl($scope, $cookieStore) { $scope.connectToFacebook = function() { FB.api('/me', function(response, data, status, headers, config) { var fbid=response.id; $cookieStore.put('id', fbid); console.log($cookieStore.get('id')); //This correctly displays the users FB id }); } } function secondCtrl($scope, $cookieStore) { $scope.submit = function() { console.log($cookieStore.get('id')); // This is currently displaying: TypeError: 'undefined' is not an object }; } ```
