Set cookie within trpc

I'm using t3 and trpc and I have to set a cookie serverside, no errors happen, but the cookie is not included too. What is the correct way to set a cookie on a procedure?

^ I've faced the same issue, started using pocketbase recently and I'm stuck looking for a way to set cookies inside tRPC routers

Are you using pages or app router?

Rafael CorrêaOP•13mo ago

App router

Endgame1013•13mo ago

https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cookies#cookiessetname-value-options

Functions: cookies | Next.js

API Reference for the cookies function.

I know about this, but it wont work, trpc wont send the cookies

Endgame1013•13mo ago

It should. Since you’re using the App directory, you may be able to set the cookie in the resHeaders prop in context. I’ve always used the cookies() function from Next and never had any problems.

Its working when I use it outside of trpc (aka server actions), but somehow it wont work with trpc for me

This is what Im doing to try to force the cookie, but its not saving

Endgame1013•13mo ago

Looks like you’re trying to set cookies on the client side in the links. You need to set the cookie in a procedure instead.

Rafael CorrêaOP•13mo ago

this is the trpc/server.ts file I wouldnt be able to call this function from a client component

Endgame1013•13mo ago

trpc/server.ts runs on the server, yes, but is still in the tRPC client code. If you want to set a cookie it needs to be done within a tRPC procedure so that the cookie is sent down to the client.

Rafael CorrêaOP•13mo ago

and thats what im doing, the print shows me trying to bind the cookies to the headers

Endgame1013•13mo ago

Respectfully, the code you posted is from a tRPC client. Cookies need to be set in a procedure.

Set up a tRPC Client | tRPC

1. Install the tRPC Client library

Endgame1013•13mo ago

You should be doing something like this:

import { cookies } from “next/headers”;

const appRouter = router({
  example: publicProcedure.mutation(async () => {
    cookies().set(“foo”, “bar”);
    return {
      message: 'hello!',
    };
  }),
});

import { cookies } from “next/headers”;

const appRouter = router({
  example: publicProcedure.mutation(async () => {
    cookies().set(“foo”, “bar”);
    return {
      message: 'hello!',
    };
  }),
});

Hey, @Rafael Corrêa. I was stuck at this too minutes ago until I experienced the 'Uh' moment. In t3 by default, react's client is configured with unstable_httpBatchStreamLink (the requests are batched and streamed in as they are completed) https://trpc.io/docs/client/links/httpBatchStreamLink. Because of streaming, the response is already sent by the time a cookie is set. This is why you can't set a cookie in RSC. Basically, there're two (reasonable) ways: either give up on streaming and use a different link or don't use trpc for operations that require setting a cookie. I'm going with the first way as I don't think streaming will provide much benefit in my case. For that, just replace unstable_httpBatchStreamLink in react's trpc client with httpBatchLink https://trpc.io/docs/client/links/httpBatchLink Let me know if that helps you I suppose you can create a separate trpc client with a link that is not streamed, and use it for those operations. That's too much hassle for my taste though.

Thank you for this, cleared up a bunch for me. Also solved the cookie problem I was experiencing.

shmookoff•12mo ago

Awesome! Thanks for letting me know ❤️

@shmookoff I am using pages router , and facing the same issue, httpBatchLink is also set, I get the error : tRPC failed on auth.register: cookies was called outside a request scope. Read more: https://nextjs.org/docs/messages/next-dynamic-api-wrong-context

shmookoff•8mo ago

I'm no expert on pages router, but I think I can look into that. Could you please share the code?

Hosenur•8mo ago

Here is the code for server/api/trpc.ts

import { initTRPC } from "@trpc/server";
import { type CreateNextContextOptions } from "@trpc/server/adapters/next";
import superjson from "superjson";
import { ZodError } from "zod";
import { db } from "~/server/db";
type CreateContextOptions = Record<string, never>;
const createInnerTRPCContext = (_opts: CreateContextOptions) => {
  return {
    db,
  };
};
export const createTRPCContext = (_opts: CreateNextContextOptions) => {
  return createInnerTRPCContext({});
};
const t = initTRPC.context<typeof createTRPCContext>().create({
  transformer: superjson,
  errorFormatter({ shape, error }) {
    return {
      ...shape,
      data: {
        ...shape.data,
        zodError:
          error.cause instanceof ZodError ? error.cause.flatten() : null,
      },
    };
  },
});
export const createCallerFactory = t.createCallerFactory;
export const createTRPCRouter = t.router;
export const publicProcedure = t.procedure;

import { initTRPC } from "@trpc/server";
import { type CreateNextContextOptions } from "@trpc/server/adapters/next";
import superjson from "superjson";
import { ZodError } from "zod";
import { db } from "~/server/db";
type CreateContextOptions = Record<string, never>;
const createInnerTRPCContext = (_opts: CreateContextOptions) => {
  return {
    db,
  };
};
export const createTRPCContext = (_opts: CreateNextContextOptions) => {
  return createInnerTRPCContext({});
};
const t = initTRPC.context<typeof createTRPCContext>().create({
  transformer: superjson,
  errorFormatter({ shape, error }) {
    return {
      ...shape,
      data: {
        ...shape.data,
        zodError:
          error.cause instanceof ZodError ? error.cause.flatten() : null,
      },
    };
  },
});
export const createCallerFactory = t.createCallerFactory;
export const createTRPCRouter = t.router;
export const publicProcedure = t.procedure;

Thanks. Could you please send from where the error is thrown? The error says that it originates from auth.register handler and specifies that cookies was called outside of a request scope. I would like to see the code where cookies was used. @Hosenur The docs does not include cookies under functions in Pages Router. I suppose, you would need to use some other function.
