If you are utilizing the ngx-cookie-service library within your Angular project and want to ensure you are fetching the accurate session ID cookie value that was set on the backend, follow these steps:
Set up the Cookie on the Backend: Verify that your backend system is correctly establishing the session ID cookie. Make certain the cookie name aligns with the one you are attempting to retrieve on the frontend.
Install and Include Ngx Cookie Service: Confirm that you have installed the ngx-cookie-service library in your Angular application by executing the following command:
npm install ngx-cookie-service
Import the CookieService into the component or service where you wish to access the cookie value:
import { CookieService } from 'ngx-cookie-service';
- Fetch the Cookie Value: To obtain the session ID cookie value that was originally set on the backend, utilize the get() method supplied by the CookieService. Provide the cookie's name as an argument to this method:
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { CookieService } from 'ngx-cookie-service';
@Component({
selector: 'app-my-component',
template: '<p>Session ID: {{ sessionId }}</p>',
})
export class MyComponent implements OnInit {
sessionId: string;
constructor(private cookieService: CookieService) {}
ngOnInit() {
// Replace 'session_id' with the correct name of your session ID cookie
this.sessionId = this.cookieService.get('session_id');
}
}
Remember to substitute 'session_id' with the appropriate name of your session ID cookie.
By employing the get() method from the ngx-cookie-service library, you should be able to extract the accurate session ID cookie value that was established on the backend. Ensure that the cookie name matches precisely between the backend and frontend to prevent any issues with retrieving the correct value. Additionally, validate that your backend properly sets the cookie's domain and path to enable accessibility for your frontend application.
