How to set multiple cookies with setHeader in NodeJs-CodePudding

I have been working on a node js project, and I need to set two different cookies. But when I set them, the second one always overwrites the first one. here is the code I am using below

                              res.setHeader('set-cookie', [
                                'x-authsession='   cookieParsed['x-authsession']
                                   '; Path='   cookieParsed['Path']   '; Expires='
                                  cookieParsed['Expires']
                                  `;  `, ]
                                );
                            


                            res.setHeader('set-cookie', [
                                'x-device='   cookieParsed['x-device']
                                  '; Path='   cookieParsed['Path']   '; Expires='
                                  cookieParsed['Expires']
                                  `; `,
                            ]);

but only x-device gets stored on the browser. Anyone knows how to fix this please?

CodePudding user response：

Instead of explicitly modifying the set-cookie header you can use res.cookie.

res.cookie(
    'x-authsession',
    cookieParsed['x-authsession'],
    {
        path: cookieParsed['Path'],
        expires: cookieParsed['Expires']
    }
);
res.cookie(
    'x-device',
    cookieParsed['x-device'],
    {
        path: cookieParsed['Path'],
        expires: cookieParsed['Expires']
    }
);

Also, as said here,

To send multiple cookies, multiple Set-Cookie headers should be sent in the same response.

Side thoughts, looks like you are trying to use session cookies manually. That isn't a good idea to do. Instead checkout the express-session package on npm.
