How to import 'window' into middleware on Express?

I have middleware which gets data from cookie (I use vue-cookies).

  try {
      if (window.$cookies.get('region')) {
        res.setHeader('Set-Cookie', [
          `region=${window.$cookies.get('region')};path=/`
        ])
      } else {
        res.setHeader('Set-Cookie', [
          `region=${process.env.DEFAULT_REGION};path=/`
        ])
      }
    } catch (e) {
      console.log(e)
    }

Everything works correctly, but in server terminal I got that:

ReferenceError: window is not defined
    at server.js:3102:7
    at promisify (server.js:2522:15)
    at middlewareSeries (server.js:2501:10)
    at server.js:2502:12
    at async module.exports../.nuxt/server.js.__webpack_exports__.default (server.js:1964:3)

Should I just leave it be, or there is opportunity to fix it?

Solution

  • Ok, to get access to this field I just used req.cookies.region

    Thanks for help everyone!
