Finally I find a right way to use extra-cookie.manager!

Summary

The package Extra-Streamlit-Components provides capacity for cookie management. However, due to Streamlit’s re-running mechanism, a lot of challenges were encountered while implementing read and write operations for cookies. Eventually, I managed to find the correct way to call these operations. Under the stateless protocol of HTTP, in the mechanism of Streamlit, stable read, judge and write operations of cookies can be carried out efficiently.

Steps to reproduce

Code snippet:

cookie_manager = get_manager()
start_time = time.time()
timeout = 0.01  # Preset timeout time
while True:
    if 'cookies' not in st.session_state:
        st.session_state['cookies'] = cookie_manager.get_all()
    elif time.time() - start_time > timeout:
        st.warning("Operation timeout. Please refresh the page or check your network connection.")
        break  # If timed out, exit the loop directly
    else:
        if 'lzs_userid' not in st.session_state.cookies:
            if 'lzs_userid' not in st.session_state:
                st.session_state["lzs_userid"] = str(uuid.uuid4())
            cookie_manager.set('lzs_userid', st.session_state["lzs_userid"], key="0", expires_at=datetime.datetime(year=2023, month=8, day=2))
        if "lzs_pwd" not in st.session_state.cookies:
            if "lzs_pwd" not in st.session_state:
                random_pwd = ''.join(random.choices(string.ascii_letters + string.digits,k=8))
                st.session_state['lzs_pwd'] = bcrypt.hashpw(random_pwd.encode(),bcrypt.gensalt(rounds=10)).decode('utf-8')
            cookie_manager.set('lzs_pwd', st.session_state.get('lzs_pwd', ''), key="1", expires_at=datetime.datetime(year=2023, month=8, day=2))
        break

@Hangjun_Ji Thanks for sharing!

The trick is simply to insert a time.sleep() after running
cookie_manager.get_all(), this gives it enough time to capture the cookies…

Havn’t looked at the library code, but feel like it is probably run asynchronous?

Vow! This is true! I had an issue where fleetingly I would not find the cookies… And then it would suddenly appear after a few seconds…
So my streamlit app would fleetingly display “access denied” and then immediately load the page… So weird!!
I added a time.sleep(2) that fixed it for me. (time.sleep(1) still had issues for my setup. your mileage could vary)
Thank you lorenzweb!
