Golang gin framework cookie generating issue-CodePudding

This is my code and I copy it from the go-gin framework documents, My problem is when createCookie function hits it returns "NotSet" and I have to run same API callback to get a cookie.

// createCookie accepts c as gin context and create cookies
func createCookie(c *gin.Context) (string, error) {
    cookie, err := c.Cookie("device")

    if err != nil {
        cookie = "NotSet"
        c.SetCookie("device", "test", 3600, "/", os.Getenv("AUTH_DOMAIN"), true, true)
    }

    return cookie, nil
}

CodePudding user response：

// createCookie accepts c as gin context and create cookies
func createCookie(c *gin.Context) (string, error) {
    cookie, err := c.Cookie("device")

    if err != nil {
        // Replae it with your initial value
        cookie = "NotSet"
        c.SetCookie("device", cookie, 3600, "/", os.Getenv("AUTH_DOMAIN"), true, true)
    }

    return cookie, nil
}
