access cookie delivered from server

[untold furnace]

I have this cookie delivered from a separate backend: (Img 1)

I tried to access it using a composable: (img 2)

but I got a 500 defineEventHandler is not defined

[mint furnace]

Img2 does not show a composable, it shows a server api route.

Where is this code saved in your project?

And are you trying to access the cookie on the client oder server side?

[untold furnace]

Yes I am trying to access a cookie from an express backend from the nuxt fe

[mint furnace]

Yeah but your code shows a backend route, can you show the frontend code where you try to access it?

Here is an example on how to use a cookie in the nuxt frontend https://nuxt.com/docs/examples/composables/use-cookie#usecookie

[untold furnace]

<script setup>
import id64 from '@/composables/idCookie'
</script>
<template>
  <div>{{ id64 }} </div>
 </template>

this probably is completely wrong, I thought the getCookie was a way to access cookies on the client side

[mint furnace]

No it's server side

useCookie is client side

and please check the docs on how to define a composable https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/directory-structure/composables#composables-directory

You are trying to define a server backend api route as a frontend composable

The docs are generally a very good way to learn nuxt3 🙂
