Next.js Client Cookies

Client cookies with support for SSR on the newest Next.js 13 (app directory).

SSR are client components that can be rendered both on the client and server side. Server components are server only components that can only be rendered on the server side. This library can support all 3 cases and will give you everything you need to work with cookies on the client and server side.

Please note that Next.js currently does NOT support updating cookies on Server Components (only on Actions or Routes are allowed to make changes to cookies within the server). If you need to update cookies on the server, please switch to a Client Component. Client components can be rendered on the server side (via SSR) and will support also updating cookies via special dehydration mechanism implemented by this library.

Interface and client side implementation based on the js-cookie package.

Install

1. Install the package:

``
npm add next-client-cookies
`

2. On your app/layout.tsx file, add the CookiesProvider:

`jsx
import { CookiesProvider } from 'next-client-cookies/server';

export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
return {children};
}
`

Please note this will make the entire app to opted out of static generation. If you want to opt out only some pages, you can use the CookiesProvider on a per page basis and create a custom server-side layout.tsx file for those pages.

Usage

$3

This will work BOTH on the client and server side for SSR.

`jsx
'use client';

import { useCookies } from 'next-client-cookies';

const MyComponent = () => {
const cookies = useCookies();

return (



);
};
`

$3

Will produce the same Cookies interfaces using Next.js's cookies() helper.

`jsx
import { getCookies } from 'next-client-cookies/server';

const MyComponent = async () => {
const cookies = await getCookies();

return (



);
};
`

Migration

$3

If you are migrating from v1, you will need to add await to the getCookies function. This is because Next.js's cookies() function is now async and will return a promise.

`diff
- const cookies = getCookies();
+ const cookies = await getCookies();
``
