This property will expose the cookie node module so you don't have to include it yourself.

`js

// server
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
const cookies = require('cookie-universal')(req, res)
const cookieRes = cookies.nodeCookie.parse('cookie-name', 'cookie-value')
cookieRes['cookie-name'] // returns 'cookie-value'
})

// client
import Cookie from 'cookie-universal'
const cookies = Cookie()
const cookieRes = cookies.nodeCookie.parse('cookie-name', 'cookie-value')
cookieRes['cookie-name'] // returns 'cookie-value'
