What should I use instead of jquery.cookie?

The same project continues under the name js-cookie. js-cookie is not a drop-in replacement, so expect to change call sites.

How to migrate from jquery.cookie to js-cookie

$.cookie('name', 'value', opts) becomes Cookies.set('name', 'value', opts) and $.removeCookie('name') becomes Cookies.remove('name'); jQuery is no longer required.

Why jquery.cookie is on this list

The jquery-cookie README states that the project moved to js-cookie and that new issues belong in that repository; the repository was archived in November 2017. The jquery.cookie package has not been published since April 2014, ending at 1.4.1. js-cookie is the same project continued by the same author without the jQuery dependency, and is actively maintained.

The succession is settled: primary sources agree and the ecosystem has already moved.

jquery.cookie alternatives

The dataset lists no second option: js-cookie is where the ecosystem went, and nothing else has meaningful adoption.

Check your own project for jquery.cookie

npx dead-deps --all --min-state unmaintained

Run that in the directory holding your lockfile. If jquery.cookie is anywhere in your tree — a direct dependency or buried under something else — it appears in the report with this verdict, this successor and the same evidence links, alongside anything else that has stopped moving. Nothing is uploaded; the scan reads your lockfile locally and queries public registry metadata.

Exit code 1 means something was flagged, which makes npx dead-deps --min-state deprecated usable as a CI gate. See how verdicts are produced.
