A backend learning project demonstrating how to set, read, verify, and clear both regular and signed cookies in an Express.js server using the cookie-parser middleware.

• Set and retrieve regular cookies
• Create and verify signed cookies (tamper detection)
• Clear cookies from the client
• Minimal, easy-to-run setup

• GET /greet – Greets the user using the name cookie (defaults to "User")
• GET /setname – Sets name and fish cookies
• GET /getsignedcookie – Sets a signed cookie fruit
• GET /verifycookie – Displays both signed and unsigned cookies in JSON format
• GET /clearcookies – Clears all cookies set in this demo

• Node.js
• Express.js
• cookie-parser
• dotenv

npm install

Create a .env file in the project root:

COOKIE_SECRET=your_cookie_secret_here

node index.js

The app will be available at http://localhost:3000/products.

• Understanding signed vs unsigned cookies
• Using Express middleware effectively
• Following best practices with environment variables
