req.cookies is not filled

[LoganTann]

Hello,

I'm actually creating a session system for my project. I need to read and store a session id from cookie.

Expected behavior : if the user holds a cookie with name session, then a controller requesting req.cookies.session should hold the cookie value

Current behavior : the object req.cookies is an empty object. However, req.headers.cookie contains the raw data so a quickfix is easy.

Screenshot :

Also, when I save values in req.cookie, I need to use the following code in an outgoing middleware to sync with res.cookie

if (!res.cookies["session"]) {
    res.cookies["session"] = req.cookies["session"];
}

Is your repo maybe public or do you have a reproducible example?

But regarding the last point: Yes, setting the cookie on the request won't do anything - it's the correct behaviour.

But could maybe be made more obvious by only providing a getter - will be changed in v2.

Hello, thanks for the quick reply !

You can look here the code in which I added my session system and used cookies : LoganTann/redbeansoup-v2@9b7ea5d

If you want to run the entire repo, then use the following command line argument : deno run --import-map import_map.json --no-check --allow-all --watch mod.ts --start-dashboard-only

You may need to create the file config.ts with the following content (no need to fill) :

export default {
    // Discord Developers -> Oauth2 -> Client ID
    CLIENT_ID: "",
    // Discord Developers -> Oauth2 -> Client secret
    CLIENT_SECRET: "",
    // Discord Developers -> Bot -> reset
    BOT_TOKEN: "",
    // Right Click on your dev server icon -> Copy ID
    DEV_GUILD_ID: "",
    // Get your OpenAI token in your dashboard - https://openai.com/api/
    OPENAI_TOKEN: "",
    WHOLESOME_ENDPOINT: "",
};
