I'm trying to read cookie in a nestjs controller.
i am following the docs at https://docs.nestjs.com/techniques/cookies#use-with-express-default
Here's my code
import { Controller, Get, Render, Req } from '@nestjs/common';
@Controller()
export class AppController {
@Get()
@Render('home')
getHello(@Req() req: Request) {
return { text: req.cookies['id'] };
}
}
the problem is that type Request
from express does not have cookies
. So i get this error.
src/app.controller.ts:11:24 - error TS2339: Property 'cookies' does not exist on type 'Request'.
11 return { text: req.cookies['id'] };

The code actually works if i remove type Request
from req
. But thhen i lost type-safety.
you need to import the type Request
from express
(so install @types/express
). That one you're using is not from it. I'm assuming that you're the default http adapter.
