I am working on full stack project. And I can not set cookie in my browser.
- My back end is written with node.js and express framework, running at localhost:3002.
- My front end is using react.js, running at localhost:3000.
//server side
app.use(cookieParser());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended: true}));
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(cors());
.....
.....
router.post('/login', (req, res) => {
User.findOne({'email': req.body.email}, (err, user) => {
// find the email
if (!user) return res.status(404).json({loginSuccess: false, message: 'Auth failed, email not found!'});
// check the password
user.comparePassword(req.body.password, (err, isMatch) => {
if (!isMatch) return res.status(400).json({loginSuccess: false, message: 'Wrong password!'});
// generate a token
user.generateToken((err, user) => {
if (err) return res.status(400).send(err);
res.cookie('w_auth', user.token, { domain: 'http://localhost:3000', secure: true }).status(200).json({loginSuccess: true, user: user});
console.log(res);
})
})
})
});
//client side
export const loginUser = (dataToSubmit, history) => dispatch => {
axios.post(`${USER_SERVER}/login`,dataToSubmit)
.then(resposne => {
dispatch({
type: actionTypes.LOGIN_USER,
payload: resposne.data
});
history.push('/user/dashboard');
})
.catch(err => dispatch({
type: actionTypes.GET_ERRORS,
payload: err.response.data
}));
};
The response header for /api/users/login route contains
'Set-Cookie':'w_auth=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.N...
but the cookie isn't saved in browser (document.cookie is empty).
Meanwhile I tried using Postman to send a post request to /api/users/login, and I found the cookie in Postman's Cookies. So I guess that browser refuse to save the cookie.
Anyone can help solve this?
