Express doesn't set a cookie

Question

I have problem with setting a cookies via express. I\'m using Este.js dev stack and I try to set a cookie in API auth /login route. Here is the cod

Answer 1

i work with express 4 and node 7.4 and angular,I had the same problem me help this:
a) server side: in file app.js i give headers to all response like:

 app.use(function(req, res, next) {  
      res.header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', req.headers.origin);
      res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept");
      next();
 });  

this must have before all router.
I saw a lot of added this headers:

res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers","*");
res.header('Access-Control-Allow-Credentials', true);
res.header('Access-Control-Allow-Methods', 'GET,PUT,POST,DELETE');

but i dont need that,

b) when you definer cookie you nee add httpOnly: false, like:

 res.cookie( key, value,{ maxAge: 1000 * 60 * 10, httpOnly: false });

c) client side: in send ajax you need add: "withCredentials: true," like:

$http({
     method: 'POST',
     url: 'url, 
     withCredentials: true,
     data : {}
   }).then(function(response){
        // code  
   }, function (response) {
         // code 
   });

good luck.
