Add cookie parameters like domain, path... to the request cookies in middleware.tsx

[sanskar-19]

Goals

1. When using request.cookies.set() include basic cookie attributes other than just name and value.

Non-Goals

No response

Background

The problem that I am facing is cookie sharing across domains and subdomains which I have managed to implement on the client side (NextJS 14 App Router) but in the middleware, I get options for NextResponse to set, whilst not for NextRequest.

Since there is no provision to update tokens on the client from Page components so I am updating the auth tokens by validating on the middleware only.

If in case of invalid tokens, I am refreshing the same and likewise updating a few parameters.

By default if I set a cookie on abc.com it sets the domain parameter as abc.com but to access on subdomains as well, I need the parameter as .abc.com.

Proposal

Add the options parameter to the request cookies in the middleware file.

You can already, as seen here.

response.cookies.set({
  name: 'vercel',
  value: 'fast',
  path: '/',
})
