Nuxt.js: Is there a way to delete a cookie in a middleware on server-side

[gbezyuk]

I have a middleware checking if there's an auth token provided in a cookie. Basing on this token I perform a request retrieving current user's profile. Chances are, that the token is invalid. So, I want to force logout in this case. Which means I need to delete this auth token cookie too. How can I do that on server-side?

_{This question is available on Nuxt.js community (#c416)}

@gbezyuk you should create a /api/logout route for example which remove this cookie on the server side and call this route in the middleware when the token is invalid.

[gbezyuk]

API lives in a totally separate project, could even be at a different domain thus making this solution impossible. Auth is token-based and uses headers, so the cookie is required only for SSR.
Once again, a bit more broadly then: is there a way to modify SSR server response's headers (cookie, spicifically) using Nuxt?

[Atinux]

If you are on the server-side and have access to req, yes you can update the headers, it should do the trick.

[gbezyuk]

'req'? I mean, shouldn't I look for the response instead of the request?

@gbezyuk i got your mean . and i have the same problem. nuxt is very good . one day may be great.

I have this same issue. I need to access headers in the res not req during SSR.

@Atinux any progress on this one?

@Atinux reopening this so I don't forget to add examples following this merge.

[Atinux]

Good idea @galvez

Closing as I've added this to my nuxt/docs TODO.
