How to access cookies with ssr?

I have an app where you log in, which gives you two cookies, sessionId and userId. Then, on page load, I want to use that to show a little log in badge like the attached image, that calls a server function that returns user data, to then be put in the badge. How do I access cookies with ssr?

You access cookies through Vinxi. Here's an example:

import { getCookie } from "vinxi/http";

// Then get the cookie by name.
const cookie = getCookie("cookie-name");

import { getCookie } from "vinxi/http";

// Then get the cookie by name.
const cookie = getCookie("cookie-name");

Hope that helps, Chris

I'll write a more detailed description when I get to my computer. Ok. You'll import getCookie at the top of your file. Next, you'll want to access your cookie on the server. You can do that in SolidStart with "use server";. Here's an example of how you can use "use server"; inside of a function.

import { getCookie } from "vinxi/http";

export const myFunction() {
  "use server"; // this function will now run on the server.

  // Get the cookie by name
  const cookie = getCookie("cookie-name");  

  // Use the cookie
  return cookie:
}

import { getCookie } from "vinxi/http";

export const myFunction() {
  "use server"; // this function will now run on the server.

  // Get the cookie by name
  const cookie = getCookie("cookie-name");  

  // Use the cookie
  return cookie:
}
