Hello everyone, I'm using Next 14 and I have a question, how do I send the authentication token in all my requests? When logging in I put the token in the cookies, but I can only access it via the server.

why do you need the auth token client side? bit insecure no?
(-.-)OP
I need to make a GET request, and I need to send a token, I have a function in the service folder but I don't know how to access the token to send in the header
Get request to where. from where
from client to external? from client to server? from server to external?
(-.-)OP
export const get = async () => {
const { data } = await axios.get(url, {
headers: { Authorization:Bearer ${myToken}}
});
return data;
};my function
client to server
I'm using react query
pages dir or app dir
(-.-)OP
app dir
why are you not fetching in a server component

When I add "use server" at the top of my function, I have access to cookies using next/header, but I don't know if it's correct
I'm migrating an application, this would just be a test to present, there's still a lot left to refactor
that makes it a server action and is another way to do it.

In the future I will refactor this page to be server components
the right way though is just wrapping it with a server component and passing the data as a prop to client if you need client
unless you specifically need react query for something like infinite scroll etc

Got it, you gave me an idea, thanks
sweet. mark whichever message helped as the answer so it closes this post
(-.-)OP
Would this solve it for a while?
(-.-)OP
only until I refactor everything
does this make my function server-side?
makes it basically a self contained api route yep. the docs explain server actions in detail
(-.-)OP
even though it is of the GET type? I saw that actions are used for mutations (POST)
the POST function is to call the server action. it can make a GET request inside it
(-.-)OP
cool, thanks
