In this video I explain how you can set cookies from an express Backend to a react front end.
This video explains how you can set cookies locally and in production on a https protocol.
I cover things like the cookie same site attribute and how you should set them up.

[@abelmurua6980]

I cant make it work with Next.js on frontend / Express.js on backend. Set-Cookie is preent on response but its not being set no Chrome/Firefox. As soon as I put the 'withCredentials: true' I get CORS error ('strict-origin-when-cross-origin'). On postman it gets set. I tried every single possible config combination, no idea what else to do. I haven't used express-session. Any thoughts?

[@advay6449]

same issue. Did you get any fix?

[@abelmurua6980]

@@advay6449 yes, my error was that I had on my express app.options('*' cors()) and that sets default setting for every route on my express app. I removed that line

how get cookie store browser in reactjs from nodejs backend program?

[@NerdyDave]

Thanks so much for this.

[@IcalMFTR]

Hi, thanks for the video. I try to exactly do the same with the video. In the production site, whenever I open the site in desktop it works well, but if I open from the phone (Iphone and Samsung), I always got an error, error that I mean is cookie is not stored in the mobile browser. Anyone face same issue or can help?

[@focusiam2027]

Thank you for this amazing tutorial. Quick question. Does this still work if the frontend is on firebase and backend on Heroku. Thanks in advance.

[@webbase8836]

Yes this should work as long as its over a HTTPS connection

[@focusiam2027]

@@webbase8836 Thank you very much, I read that you cannot send cookies over different domains, however, I do see people doing it, so I was confused. Thank you again!

[@558dhananitejendra7]

That means everytime to read cookie I've to make a http request to server. Wouldn't it degrade the performance ? Any alternative way to do the same .?

[@webbase8836]

You can just opt in for Json web tokens

[@fedewoodward4216]

hi man! nice video worked for me,
Just a small improvement for your videos, make them shorter and when everything works, so your audience wants to enter to see 10 minutes instead of 35m (that sells a lot) and if you think necessary, you can upload a second video without editing for the curious user.
happy codding!

[@bonganintshangase6051]

I for one enjoy seeing the errors and the way to go around them
