Can set cookie with trpc?

I tried to create a full authentication system in trpc using jwt and refresh token I find that is not quite okay to create authentication with trpc Can you suggest me a better way how I can achieve authentication in trpc project ?

Why do you find it not okay to create auth with tRPC? The most simple solution would be to implement a route with which you can login, which then sets a JWT cookie. And then create a protected procedure that checks someone’s JWT, Most projects will be using auth frameworks like LuciaAuth, NextAuth or Clerk etc.

I can not send cookie via trpc, I tried a lot(if I use with express) I know with clerk to do auth, I am just curious to do it with jwt

BeBoRE•14mo ago

You can set cookies in Express using res.cookies So as long as you give tRPC access to the res object, you can send cookies Otherwise you might want to send the JWT in the body of your response and send it as a header with every request

in my browser in cookie i can not see token @BeBoRE

BeBoRE•14mo ago

You are creating a query, this should be a mutation If you changed that and it still doesn't work, see if you see the set-cookie header in your response headers

<DxD/>OP•14mo ago

okay, i will change it to mutation i let you know if it works

BeBoRE•14mo ago

What is the raw response for the happy flow?

<DxD/>OP•14mo ago

? @BeBoRE i modigy tu mutation

None specifies that cookies are sent on both originating and cross-site requests, but only in secure contexts (i.e., if SameSite=None then the Secure attribute must also be set). If no SameSite attribute is set, the cookie is treated as Lax.

None specifies that cookies are sent on both originating and cross-site requests, but only in secure contexts (i.e., if SameSite=None then the Secure attribute must also be set). If no SameSite attribute is set, the cookie is treated as Lax.

Using HTTP cookies SameSite=None only works in a secure context with HTTPS, you probably want to set that attribute to lax which is the default

Using HTTP cookies - HTTP | MDN

An HTTP cookie (web cookie, browser cookie) is a small piece of data that a server sends to a user's web browser. The browser may store the cookie and send it back to the same server with later requests. Typically, an HTTP cookie is used to tell if two requests come from the same browser—keeping a user logged in, for example. It remembers st...

Ok Still now idea how to solve it Only idea that I used is when I send token on client, I use some js cookie or smt like that and from there I save it to cookie

BeBoRE•14mo ago

Pretty sure if you remove sameSite: 'None' it should set the cookie correctly, also in the screenshot you send it looks like if you use my cookie as the cookie name, I don't believe you can have spaces in your cookie

i do not understand where i do wrong

import * as trpcExpress from '@trpc/server/adapters/express';
import cors from 'cors';

import { db } from './db/connection';
import { createContext } from './trpc/context';
import { appRouter } from './trpc/router';

const app = express();

app.use(cors());

app.use(
  '/trpc',
  trpcExpress.createExpressMiddleware({
    router: appRouter,
    createContext,
  }),
);

const PORT = process.env.PORT;

db.connect()
  .then(() => {

    app.listen(PORT, () => {
      console.log(`Server running on port ${PORT}.`);
    });
  })
  .catch(() => {
    console.log('Failed to connect to MongoDB. Exiting...');
    process.exit(1);
  });

nvm, i solve it

BeBoRE•14mo ago

What was the issue?

<DxD/>OP•14mo ago

i forgot to add

app.use(
  cors({
    origin: 'http://localhost:3000',
    credentials: true,
  }),
);

app.use(
  cors({
    origin: 'http://localhost:3000',
    credentials: true,
  }),
);

when i create express be 🙂 i add that and now works fine

BeBoRE•14mo ago

Ah the empty cors made it so that the cookie wasn’t being send with, ngl I have never understood CORS
