I'm sending cookies from express server (res.cookie()) but this ain't working with my front end even though I include {withCredentials:true} in the get requests but it just doesn't work in the browser, no cookies are set in the application tab in browser.
BUT if I try the requests with postman the middleware works perfectly and cookies are shown.
I tried different browsers and different devices, but none.
cors config:
app.use(
cors({
credentials: true,
origin: [
"http://localhost:3000",
],
methods: ["GET", "POST"],
})
);
cookie parser config:
app.use(cookieParser())
this is the get request to check if the user is already logged in :
await axios
.get("http://192.168.0.141:3001/login", { withCredentials: true })
.then(async (response) => {
if (response) {
loggedIn = true
}
})
.catch(async err => {
loggedIn = false
})
the middleware of jwt :
const validateToken = (req, res, next) => {
const accessToken = req.cookies["access-token"]
if (!accessToken) { return res.status(400).json({ error: "user not authenticated" }) }
try {
const validToken = jwt.verify(accessToken, "test");
if (validToken) {
req.authenticated = true
return next();
}
} catch (error) {
return res.status(400).json({ error: error });
}
}
If you need more clarification please tell me , thank you for helping
