Ideally, the user's cookie data would be retrieved and made available in the getInitialProps() function.
import React from "react"
class Webpage extends React.Component {
static async getInitialProps() {
// handle user's cookie data here
. . .
}
. . .
}
export default Webpage
But if there's another better way, I'm open to that as well!
Yup, you can pull this off easily!
Update your getInitialProps() function to this:
static async getInitialProps ({req}) {
const cookieString = req.headers.cookie
return {
. . .
}
}
The req object contains the HTTP request object data, which is where the users' cookie data is held.
This data would otherwise not be available to the web page. But, since getInitialProps() is server-side code, this data is available.
