Discussion on: Building NestJS app boilerplate - Authentication, Validation, GraphQL and Prisma

[Valère BRON]

Hi Nikita Gr8 Article ... but Express can't write token'cookie !

this line of code seems ok : "res.cookie('token', jwt, { httpOnly: true });" in auth.resolver.ts,
and the token is correctly generated but no cookie is created in client side...

Please check your graphql playground settings in the browser. You should have "request.credentials": "same-origin" set there to allow CORS.

Indeed, that works

P.S. If you are not using graphql playground and calling the server from a front-end application served from another server (different domain/port/etc.) you need to enable cors on the nestjs server (not described in the article). To do it simply add these lines to your main.ts file to the bootstrap function.

app.enableCors({
    credentials: true,
    origin: true,
  });

Cors was the problem yes, thanks again for these speed responses !
