How to set HTTPOnly cookies using the Koa framework in Node.js

In order to set HTTPOnly cookies using the Koa framework in Node.js, you can use the ctx.cookies.set() method. The ctx.cookies.set() method takes several options as arguments, including the httpOnly option, which can be set to true in order to mark the cookie as HTTPOnly.

Here is an example of how to set an HTTPOnly cookie in a Koa application:

const Koa = require('koa');
const app = new Koa();

app.use(async (ctx) => {
    ctx.cookies.set('myCookie', 'cookieValue', { httpOnly: true });
    ctx.body = 'Cookie set!';
});

app.listen(3000);

In this example, a new cookie named ‘myCookie’ is being set with the value ‘cookieValue’, and the httpOnly option is set to true, indicating that the cookie is HTTPOnly.

You can also set other options like maxAge, expires and signed to control the behavior and security of the cookie.

It is important to note that the httpOnly attribute is a security feature, it protect cookies from being accessed by client-side scripts and makes it less likely to be stolen by attackers using cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
