I have created an angular service which can listen to cookie changes by leveraging the CookieStore Api.
My current code looks as follows:
type CookieChangeType = {
name: string,
value: string,
expires: Date,
domain: string,
}
interface CookieChangeEvent extends Event {
changed: CookieChangeType[]
}
type CookieStore = {
addEventListener: Window["addEventListener"]
}
declare global {
interface Window {
cookieStore: CookieStore;
addEventListener(type: String, listener: (this: Window, ev: CookieChangeEvent) => any, useCapture?: boolean): void;
}
}
export class CookieConsentCommonsService {
subscribeToConsentCookieChange(callback: () => void): void {
window.cookieStore.addEventListener('change', (event: CookieChangeEvent) => {
console.log(`Cookie changed: ${change.name} = ${change.value}`);
callback();
});
}
}
This code works as expected.
On the top of that I would like to be able to cancel the subscription. I have tried to store the subscription for later :
const sub = window.cookieStore.addEventListener( ...);
console.log("sub " + sub)
But there is no return from this code and the output message is:
sub undefined
How can I retrieve a reference for created subscription and later on use it to cancel the subscription?
