cookies

Read or mutate the Set-Cookie (opens in a new tab) header of the request.

set(name, value)

Given a name, set a cookie with the given value on the request.

// Given incoming request /home

// request will have a `Set-Cookie:show-banner=false;path=/home` header
request.cookies.set('show-banner', 'false')

get(name)

Given a cookie name, return the value of the cookie. If the cookie is not found, undefined is returned. If multiple cookies are found, the first one is returned.

// Given incoming request /home
// { name: 'show-banner', value: 'false', Path: '/home' }
request.cookies.get('show-banner')

getAll()

Given a cookie name, return the values of the cookie. If no name is given, return all cookies on the request.

// Given incoming request /home
// [
//   { name: 'experiments', value: 'new-pricing-page', Path: '/home' },
//   { name: 'experiments', value: 'winter-launch', Path: '/home' },
// ]
request.cookies.getAll('experiments')
// Alternatively, get all cookies for the request
request.cookies.getAll()

delete(name)

Given a cookie name, delete the cookie from the request.

// Returns true for deleted, false is nothing is deleted
request.cookies.delete('experiments')

has(name)

Given a cookie name, return true if the cookie exists on the request.

// Returns true if cookie exists, false if it does not
request.cookies.has('experiments')

clear()

Remove the Set-Cookie header from the request.

request.cookies.clear()

// Given a request to /home, pathname is /home
request.nextUrl.pathname
// Given a request to /home?name=lee, searchParams is { 'name': 'lee' }
request.nextUrl.searchParams
