document.cookies is empty string

See original GitHub issue

I am expecting cookie.save to save a cookie. The following code shows how document.cookies is empty after using the save function.

import cookie from 'react-cookie'

cookie.save('session', 'SESSIONTOKEN')
console.log(document.cookies) // => ""
console.log(cookie.load('session', true)) // => "SESSIONTOKEN"

What am I doing wrong or understanding wrong?

This line:

https://github.com/thereactivestack/react-cookie/blob/master/src/cookie.js#L4

is what breaks it. It assumes to be in node when it’s really in the browser.
