Hey, so i use firebase for authenticating my users in the site. So i am using a user context to replace the cookie field with a custom cookie which token is the user id token from the firebase credentials. But it's not working as intentded.

same thing basically, you just need to set cookies for specific domain with which client open site and it should work.

more likely you are trying to set secure cookie on http protocol
you need something like that https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert for having localhost valid ssl

Oh i see, so if i deploy it over https it should just work fine right?
Toyger
theoretically yes, but there can be some other problem so hard to say with 100% certainty
Crucian carpOP

@Toyger another question, if i were to use ngrok locally to do this. Would it work?

ngrok works as reverse proxy, so if your domain correctly will be set in code then yeah.
because by default you'll have some https://54h45jhg.ngrock.... domain but your code more likely will try to set cookies for http://localhost:3000

yes it will, so theoretically it won't work on deployment aswell then. I am using nginx to tunnel the traffic to the localhost over my vps
