[Solved] How to get `cookieFallback` when making requests using Web SDK?

Can you share a picture?

TL;DR

The user was asking if there is a way to get the `cookieFallback` when making requests using the Web SDK. Another user confirmed that the `cookieFallback` is accessible through the browser's cookie storage, but not visible for the `localhost` domain. They suggested accessing an Appwrite URL with the project ID to see the cookies. The user also mentioned that the browser does save the cookies and the `cookie` header is also set. They shared a screenshot showing the flow of Appwrite cookies logic. Finally, the user asked for a picture to get a better understanding.

So I can get a better understanding

I saw that the subsequent requests had a cookie header. I didn't check if it had a x-fallback-cookies header

Just 4mins

This is the flow of Appwrite cookies logic.

If the fetch added native browser cookies that can mean the maybe your browser do accept cookies.

This is part of Appwrite client call function

TypeScript

let options: RequestInit = {
    method,
    headers,
    credentials: 'include'
};
if (typeof window !== 'undefined' && window.localStorage) {
    headers['X-Fallback-Cookies'] = window.localStorage.getItem('cookieFallback') ?? '';
}
/* More code */

const response = await fetch(url.toString(), options);

You can see the setting of credentials: 'include' which tell the browser to pass any cookies and the adding of fallback one.

so in this screenshot you can see -> create account POST, OPTIONS request -> create session with email POST, OPTIONS requst -> get accout GET request

now

here you were right about x-fallback-cookies being present in the request headers

but also the cookie header is set too!

So it looks like your browser do save the cookies.

in cookieStorage there is no cookies

this is localStorage

Ohh gotcha You won't see the cookies because the not saved for the localhost domain, but for the Appwrite one. So in order for you to be able to see them, you'll need to go to some Appwrite url like so https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1/account?project=6469040898e19fe9052c Replace this ID with your project ID.
