Don't ask me what the heck that thing in the thumbnail is haha

i don’t get why the cookie can’t be fully deleted. it’s able to be mutated but not deleted?? why?

[matheuscampos]

Josh any chance on you making a video on how to setup a cookie consent in next? There is very few information about how to make your website grpd ready

[andriisukhariev]

Do you have something on combining for example (highly appreciated) next-intl and next-auth, and just in general how to combine different middleware especially in nextjs 13.2+ ?

Since you're in germany too, could you show how to handle cookie consent and/or google tag manager in nextjs 13? Thanks for all you do!

[christiandinata]

is it possible to redirect user to the login page if a cookie let's say called 'redirect' exists?

[xxapoloxx]

handling requests and responses is a MESS in NextJs

IDK what it is about your videos I love, But I gotta say you're rocking!!! Keep on the Good job bro 😘

[saireddy-tk]

can't we set cookie in api folder instead of middleware

[John-eqcd]

Around about 10m 30s the auth cookie is deleted in the middleware and yet remains in the browser and I assume so would the cookie value if Josh hadn't manually deleted it. Why is this and does it mean the user will still possess any authorisation provided by the 'deleted' cookie?

[julian]

And how could you access the cookie from the api/route?
greetings!!

cookies() destroys ssg for entire project?

[tylerolthuizen]

My current set up is my server stored an access token and refresh token in cookies on the BE.

My API will return the jwt access token on login and then I’m using js-cookie to save the cookie, then I can use that cookie in middleware.

Lots of cookies 🍪 is js-cookie a fine library for creating the cookie on the client side?

[EPIC-evlx]

bro the method of the docs works for me !

[raymondmichael]

Time to hook it with an express api and jwt;
Thanks buddy.

Anyone know how to remove cookies from the headers, for example when creating a sign out function? I'm using the clear() method on NextRequest.cookies, and getting an error saying that it's not a function

[elozinoovedhe]

Mine came as an object so yes they were correct
