res.cookie()
Sets a cookie with name (name) and value (value) to be sent along with the response.
Usage
res.cookie(name, value [,options]);
Details
The "path" option defaults to "/".
The "maxAge" option is a convenience option for setting "expires" relative to the current time in milliseconds. The following is equivalent to the previous example.
res.cookie('rememberme', '1', { maxAge: 900000, httpOnly: true })
An object may be passed which is then serialized as JSON, which is automatically parsed by the bodyParser() middleware.
res.cookie('cart', { items: [1,2,3] });
res.cookie('cart', { items: [1,2,3] }, { maxAge: 900000 });
Signed cookies are also supported through this method. Simply pass the signed option. When given res.cookie() will use the secret passed to express.cookieParser(secret) to sign the value.
res.cookie('name', 'tobi', { signed: true });
Example
res.cookie('name', 'tobi', {
domain: '.example.com',
path: '/admin',
secure: true
});
res.cookie('rememberme', '1', {
expires: new Date(Date.now() + 900000),
httpOnly: true
});
