How to get the bearer token from cookie and use it inside a server function

Hi @zenith narwhal. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

#

You can retrieve the bearer token from the cookie using the cookies API provided by Next.js. This can be done inside a server function or a route handler. Here's an example of how you can do it:

import { cookies } from 'next/headers'
 
export async function GET(request: Request) {
 const cookieStore = cookies()
 const token = cookieStore.get('token')
 
 // Use the token for your needs
}

In this example, cookies() is used to get a cookie store, and then get('token') is used to retrieve the token from the cookie store. Replace 'token' with the actual name of your cookie that stores the bearer token.

You can also use the underlying Web APIs to read cookies from the request:

import { type NextRequest } from 'next/server'
 
export async function GET(request: NextRequest) {
 const token = request.cookies.get('token')
 // Use the token for your needs
}

In this example, request.cookies.get('token') is used to retrieve the token from the cookies attached to the request. Again, replace 'token' with the actual name of your cookie that stores the bearer token.

Remember to handle the case where the token might not exist in the cookie store or the request's cookies.

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:

#

Yes, you can use Axios instead of fetch to make server functions in Next.js. However, there are a few things to keep in mind:

  1. Next.js extends the native fetch Web API to allow you to configure the caching and revalidating behavior for each fetch request on the server. This extended functionality might not be available with Axios.

  2. Some users have reported issues when using Axios for server-side fetching, such as the application getting stuck on loading if JavaScript is disabled in the browser. This issue was not present when using fetch.

  3. If you're using relative URLs with Axios on the server-side, you might encounter issues as relative URLs don't work from the server.

  4. If you're using Axios in a server component and you're using TypeScript, you'll need to use TypeScript 5.1.3 or higher and @types/react 18.2.8 or higher.

Here's an example of how you might use Axios in a server function:

import axios from 'axios';

async function getData() {
  const res = await axios.get('<https://api.example.com/...'>);
  
  if (res.status !== 200) {
    throw new Error('Failed to fetch data');
  }
  
  return res.data;
}

export default async function Page() {
  const data = await getData();
  
  return <main></main>;
}
