what troubles do you have with cookies()?

you don't need to write down middleware to read cookie

I am able to set the cookies but am not able to read them on the page.tsx. I am trying to set a cookie if search-param is preview which is working but on the route change the cookie is being reset because the query-param resets..

so you basically want to read cookies in the client component, right?

No.. I want to read in app router page.tsx file

@anjan_kp what's the trouble?

I am able to set the cookie but on next route it's getting reset. I came to know that it's happening because of streaming and the workaround is the middleware

The cookie should stay till it expires. I don't want to setup a middleware and send cookie info on every request

Where are you setting your cookies?

There's a bit of a snafu if you're setting a cookie in middleware and want to read it - you have to set the cookie in the middleware and then read it using headers().cookie() or something like that.

I don't have any middle ware..m setting it in a server action which triggers inside a useeffect. M checking for this cookie in page.tsx which is in app directory.

So your flow is this:

Load Page -> Server action triggered in useEffect (by user action/button?) -> server action response cookie is set -> user navigate to other page somehow -> read cookie.

And you expect the cookie value to be there, but somehow it is null/not present. I can check you're not setting maxAge of the cookie to 0 as that would make the cookie invalid immediately.

M setting maxAge to 3 months
