Discussion on: GraphQL Server Not Setting JWT Cookie

[Ryan Doyle]

I did! Basically, it all came down to needing to pass in various options that were CORS related to both my frontend and backend. My main issue was that I was using apollo-server-express with cors middleware, but didn;'t realize that apollo-server-express had some cors built in and both were conflicting. I ended up doing:

server.applyMiddleware({
  app,
  path: '/',
  cors: false, // disables the apollo-server-express cors to allow the cors middleware use
})

Then my cors middleware worked and the tokens/headers were all getting passed correctly.

You can start the application by:

1. npm install from both frontend and backend folders.
2. You'll need to create a Prisma account and deploy to prisma from backend.
3. Create a .env file in backend with:

• DB_ENDPOINT (set to your prisma endpoint)
• DB_SECRET (make a random secret for prisma to use)
• USER_SECRET (a random secret for the app to use)
• COOKIE_SECRET (something random for cookie generation)
• FRONTEND_URL=http:localhost:3000
• APP_SECRET (something random for the app to use)

4. Make .env in frontend

• NODE_ENV=development

5. npm run dev from both frontend (localhost: 3000) and backend (localhost:4000)
6. See app from locahost:3000
