Server side next auth cookies [duplicate] - next.js

Question

Cookies are not sent to the server via getServerSideProps, here is the code in the front-end:
export async function getServerSideProps() {
const res = await axios.get("http://localhost:5000/api/auth", {withCredentials: true});
const data = await res.data;
return { props: { data } }
}
On the server I have a strategy that checks the access JWT token.
export class JwtStrategy extends PassportStrategy(Strategy, "jwt") {
constructor() {
super({
ignoreExpiration: false,
secretOrKey: "secret",
jwtFromRequest: ExtractJwt.fromExtractors([
(request: Request) => {
console.log(request.cookies) // [Object: null prototype] {}
let data = request.cookies['access'];
return data;
}
]),
});
}
async validate(payload: any){
return payload;
}
}
That is, when I send a request via getServerSideProps cookies do not come to the server, although if I send, for example via useEffect, then cookies come normally.

That's because the request inside getServerSideProps doesn't run in the browser - where cookies are automatically sent on every request - but actually gets executed on the server, in a Node.js environment.
This means you need to explicitly pass the cookies to the axios request to send them through.
export async function getServerSideProps({ req }) {
const res = await axios.get("http://localhost:5000/api/auth", {
withCredentials: true,
headers: {
Cookie: req.headers.cookie
}
});
const data = await res.data;
return { props: { data } }
}
The same principle applies to requests made from API routes to external APIs, cookies need to be explicitly passed as well.
export default function handler(req, res) {
const res = await axios.get("http://localhost:5000/api/auth", {
withCredentials: true,
headers: {
Cookie: req.headers.cookie
}
});
const data = await res.data;
res.status(200).json(data)
}
