Koa: how to delete a cookie

[shuperry]

I tried ctx.cookies.set('jwt', null), but the cookie still there.

I found it worked in browser, but not worked in Postman, erm..

[luckydrq]

just set a outdated expire date

[shuperry]

@luckydrq I know the way you said, ctx.cookies.set('jwt', null) this code works, but only in browser, I found that is Postman's bug.

[luckydrq]

ok, but what is Postman?

[shuperry]

@luckydrq It's a tool to test api, here

@luckydrq I know the way you said, ctx.cookies.set('jwt', null)

yeath, you're right. It's the same as set a outdated date. I've found the clue: https://github.com/pillarjs/cookies/blob/master/lib/cookies.js#L113

For anyone arrive here, ctx.cookies.set('jwt', null) works in postman now.

ctx.cookies.set(cookieName, '');

actually, looks like it's just ctx.cookies.set(cookieName)

this is correct, per the documentation for cookies.set

If the _value_ is omitted, an outbound header with an expired date is used to delete the cookie.
