How to store JWT in cookies when using ReactJS

Question

I want to store JWT in cookies and set HttpOnly flag as well. is that possible with react ?

Answer 1

We can not set a cookie with the HttpOnly flag in the client side (this includes React, Angular and any other client framework).

The HttpOnly is an additional flag included in a Set-Cookie HTTP response header.

Using the HttpOnly flag when generating a cookie helps mitigate the risk of client side script accessing the protected cookie (if the browser supports it).
