import fetch from 'node-fetch'
import tough from 'tough-cookie'
import cookiefile from 'cookiefile' // a 6 year old unupdated package that doesn't support true ESM imports

const run = async () => {
  const cookieJar = new tough.CookieJar()
  const cookieMap = new cookiefile.CookieMap('./all_cookies.txt')
  const keys = cookieMap.keys()
  for (const key of keys) {
    const cookieMapCookie = cookieMap.get(key)
    const cookie = new tough.Cookie({
      key: cookieMapCookie.cookieName,
      value: cookieMapCookie.value,
      expires: cookieMapCookie.expire !== 0 ? new Date(cookieMapCookie.expire * 1000) : 'Infinity',
      // TODO: maxAge?
      domain: cookieMapCookie.domain,
      path: cookieMapCookie.path,
      secure: cookieMapCookie.https,
      httpOnly: cookieMapCookie.httpOnly,
      //sameSite: cookieMapCookie.crossDomain === true ? 'none' : 'lax' // TODO: not sure about this?
    })
    const url = `${cookieMapCookie.https ? 'https' : 'http'}://${cookieMapCookie.domain}${cookieMapCookie.path}`
    console.log({
      cookie,
      url
    })
    cookieJar.setCookieSync(cookie, url)
  }
  const cookies = cookieJar.getCookieStringSync('https://redacted')
  console.log(cookies)
}

run()

This doesn't really work super well/I'm wondering if I'm missing something. I thought this would've been a common use case. I don't see a way to export Google Chrome cookies to any other format (even with an extension).

I don't see a way to export them to JSON. I figured Chrome cookies -> cookies.txt or cookies.json -> parse in tough-cookie would be semi-common. Not sure if it is worth putting resources into an example/test case for this?
