Issue with auth cookie

[erwanevn]

Hi!

I'm having a problem when I try to use cookies on front-end side. I'm using NextJS for front and when i try to send a request to the server using cookies, all works but when i try the same thing on middlewares, the request doesnt includes cookies. I thing the issue come from back-end, sorry if it's front
I leave you the two projects if you want to recreate it, thanks !! ;)

First, you may want to register the SilentAuth middleware within your application, inside start/kernel.ts. This will automatically populate the auth.user if a user is logged in. Otherwise, you'll need to manually call auth.check() on the requests you need your authenticated user.

Server.middleware.register([
  () => import("@ioc:Adonis/Core/BodyParser"),
  () => import('App/Middleware/SilentAuth') // <--
]);

Second, I'm not sure whether you're running into this it looks like all your calls are currently client-side in your Next app, but I'll mention it just in case. When you're working with NextJS/NuxtJS along with an AdonisJS API note that you're dealing with two servers, your Next/Nuxt server and your AdonisJS server.

When you send a request from the server side of your Next/Nuxt server to your AdonisJS server, your cookies won't automatically be attached to the request like they are for client-side requests.

To remedy this you'll need to:

1. Pluck the cookies off the request sent from the browser to your Next/Nuxt server
2. Attach the cookies to the request sent from your Next/Nuxt server to your AdonisJS API

I'm not sure what this looks like on NextJS, it's been years since I've touched it, but I have a lesson that walks through this for Nuxt here, which may be helpful
