i am trying to set cookie in electron-react app using npm react-cookie package
and setting cookie like that
import { useCookies } from "react-cookie";
const [cookies, setCookie, removeCookie] = useCookies();
setCookie("isWorking", 121, { path: "/" });
its work fine in development mode but as i build electron application its not set my cookies in build application
SnapShot of cookies in development
In production, mode electron runs your react application in the file system so cookies never be saved in the file system in order to save cookies you have to run electron-react application in serve mode
const server = require("./server");
const createServer = async () => {
if (isDev) {
createWindow();
win.loadURL("http://localhost:3000");
} else {
let port = null;
for (let i = 5001; i < 6000; i++) {
let isFree = await isPortFree(i);
if (isFree) {
port = i;
break;
}
}
currentPort = port;
server.listen(port, () => {
console.log(`Example app listening at http://localhost:${port}`);
createWindow();
win.loadURL(`http://localhost:${currentPort}`);
});
}
};
app.whenReady().then(createServer);
and you server.js file will be like that
const path = require("path");
const express = require("express");
const app = express();
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, "/app")));
app.get("/", (req, res) => {
res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, "/app/index.html"));
});
module.exports = app;
