Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'cookie'

Question

So, I've got a page where i set a cookie with js-cookie script and following code. js.cookie-2.1 is loaded right before that script.

 Cookies.set('dir', '1');

No JS errors there. When i try to get the cookie value on a different page, it looks like cookie script is not loading. Using following code

 jQuery(document).ready(function(){
    var cookie = $.cookie('dir');
       if (cookie > 1) { 
          $(".thereiscookie").show(); 
          } else { 
          $(".testcookie").show(); 
          }
 });

And i'm getting this error "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'cookie' of undefined". js-cookie script is also loaded right before the above code.

looks like jquery isn't loading on that page where you are trying to get back your cookie, or your jquery is in noConflict mode, try jQuery.cookie('dir'); — Karthik Ganesan, Apr 20 '17 at 18:37
Tried that. no good. And if jquery wasn't loading at all, i assume I'd get error a little earlier at "jQuery(document).ready(function(){" part — Arlindo, Apr 20 '17 at 19:34

JS Cookie moved away from jquery dependency a long time ago, infact the jquery version is no longer maintained. The version you have is of the newer kind. To set and get cookies, you would now use:

 Cookies.set('dir', '1');
 Cookies.get('dir');  //values is 1

There is no need to use jquery, its a standalone library.
