Bump

in an api you could possibly use the following code to fetch all the cookies of a request.

request.cookies

full examples

nextjs app router:

import { type NextRequest } from 'next/server'
 
export async function GET(request: NextRequest) {
  console.log(request.cookies);
}

nextjs page router:

import type { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from 'next'
 
type ResponseData = {
  message: string
}
 
export default function handler(
  req: NextApiRequest,
  res: NextApiResponse<ResponseData>
) {
  console.log(req.cookies);

  res.status(200).json({ message: 'Hello from Next.js!' })
}

this is not working any idea as of why?

Still haven't tried it, did you get an error or?

i keep getting an error of undefined

how can i also send cokies? i recently switched my backend from express to nextjs

i got

RequestCookies {
  _parsed: Map(0) {},
  _headers: HeadersList {
    cookies: null,
    [Symbol(headers map)]: Map(9) {
      'accept' => [Object],
      'accept-encoding' => [Object],
      'connection' => [Object],
      'host' => [Object],
      'user-agent' => [Object],
      'x-forwarded-for' => [Object],
      'x-forwarded-host' => [Object],
      'x-forwarded-port' => [Object],
      'x-forwarded-proto' => [Object]
    },
    [Symbol(headers map sorted)]: [
      [Array], [Array],
      [Array], [Array],
      [Array], [Array],
      [Array], [Array],
      [Array]
    ]
  }
}

even tho i have a few cokies its still null

i messed around with an api a bit, and the following works fine for me:

import { NextResponse, type NextRequest } from 'next/server'

export async function GET(request: NextRequest) {
    const cookies = request.cookies;
    cookies.set('test', 'some-value');
    cookies.set('test2', 'gonna_be_deleted');
    cookies.delete('test2');

    const allCookies = cookies.getAll();
    return NextResponse.json({ allCookies });
}

@Arboreal ant @Cuban Crocodile , the code above should work (it does for me)

i got TypeError: next_headersWEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_3.cookies.set is not a function, i also in your code you arent importing anything, i have to have

import { cookies } from 'next/headers';

otherwise i ge an error saying cookies is not defined

this works fine for me

so i used your exact code, and it got all of the cokies correctlly. but it doesn't add the new ones, it sends the new ones in the response but it doesnt actually add them

so I have this and still no cookies showing, even though I have 3 of them from next-auth....
