Can't set cookie 'expires' or 'maxAge' in Node.js using Express 3.0
Do note that maxAge is in milliseconds-
res.cookie('jwtToken', token, { maxAge: 2 * 60 * 60 * 1000, httpOnly: true }); // maxAge: 2 hours
You have to use req.session.cookie:
req.session.cookie.expires = false;req.session.cookie.maxAge = 5 * 60 * 1000;See also connect docs.
The accepted answer doesn't work for me.. but the original question has the version that does work. For example
var language = 'en';//10 * 365 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000 === 315360000000, or 10 years in millisecondsvar expiryDate = new Date(Number(new Date()) + 315360000000); this.__res.cookie('lang', language, { expires: expiryDate, httpOnly: true });
