I'm developing a website with node.js and express. How can I set a cookie value?
See Question&Answers more detail:osI'm developing a website with node.js and express. How can I set a cookie value?
See Question&Answers more detail:osAs Express is built on Connect, you can use the cookieParser
middleware and req.cookies
to read and res.cookie()
to write cookies:
// configuration
app.use(express.cookieParser());
// or `express.cookieParser('secret')` for signed cookies
// routing
app.get('/foo', function (req, res) {
res.cookie('bar', 'baz');
// ...
});
app.get('/bar', function (req, res) {
res.send(req.cookies.bar);
});
[Update]
As of Express 4.0, Connect will no longer be included with Express and the default middleware have been moved into their own packages, including cookie-parser
.
