Next Cookies

Next Cookies is a focused utility library for Next.js applications, providing a straightforward method to read HTTP cookies on both the client and server sides. Currently at version 2.0.3, it offers a stable, minimalistic API centered around a single default export function that takes Next.js's `ctx` object (from `getInitialProps`) as an argument. Its primary differentiator is its simplicity and universal access pattern, allowing developers to consistently retrieve cookie values regardless of whether the page is rendered server-side or client-side. The package explicitly *does not* handle setting or deleting cookies, delegating these operations to native browser APIs like `document.cookie` or other specialized libraries. This clear separation of concerns makes it lightweight and easy to integrate for cookie *reading* tasks within the Next.js ecosystem. Given its mature state and narrow scope, it is likely in a maintenance cadence, receiving updates primarily for compatibility or critical bug fixes.
