Express JS #12 - Cookies

[@Olderaccount17]

3 minutes in and I'm already *dying* for a platter of cookies.

[@MeihaJensen]

My takeaway 1) cookies are small piece of data that contains small information. 2) And it is set by the server and sent to the client, the client has to include the cookies upon subsequent request. 3) the cookie returned is in string format. And we’ll like it in JSON so we use cookieparser middleware. 4) cookie-parser middleware is useful for parsing cookies. To JSON format.

Good

[@aqbgaming7656]

@@Mono6lade Client automatically send the cookies back to server, you dont need to include it manually.

Hi I do have a question about your video I saw complete express courses, and I also saw those individual topic-based courses. But the complete one is older than the individual section. So would u please tell me the difference on contents

[@ansonthedev]

There is no difference. This video is just a section of what you see in the 8 hour video. I decided to split up the 8 hour video into its own sections and put them in a playlist making it easier for those who just care about a specific topic rather than skim through the 8 hour video.

What's the point of signed cookies.

[@durubhuru]

Imagine you're, at a party and you receive a VIP wristband to signal your presence there; this wristband bears a code crafted exclusively by the host himself/herself - if anyone attempts to create a counterfeit band or switch yours with theirs the mismatch in the code will reveal the ruse, to the host. Signed cookies operate in a manner by incorporating a code (signature) linked to the data that only the server can generate authentically. If an individual attempts to alter or forge the data in any way the signature will not align properly. The server can promptly detect any manipulation attempts. It serves as a method to confirm that the information being transmitted or received remains unaltered.

can i use localstorage instead of cookie?

[@ansonthedev]

yes, but browser does not send stuff from local storage automatically even when withCredentials is set to true. You will need to manually send the data from local storage to the server.

[@three-zeros]

Umm... I have a question: cookies will be deprecated and turned off in the Q2-Q3 of 2024 by Google, so can you use something else except them?

[@ansonthedev]

Local Storage with JWT.

[@three-zeros]

@@ansonthedev oh, got you

[@abdul.rawi215]

as far as i understood google will only be removing third party cookies which means cookies created and accessed by the same website will still be there

[@raphaelokenyi2138]
