I wish to create an application using node-webkit which does the simple job to open a remote web application. The web application has some cookie based authentication. Considering that the user has signed-in successfully, how can the required cookies be retained, so that the next time the application runs, the user will be authenticated?
As of 2018, NW.js retains cookies and other persistent browser data by default. These are stored in %LOCALAPPDATA%/name-in-manifest/ in Windows or equivalent depending on OS. Nothing is required from the application itself, you do not have to persist cookie data manually in local storage.
