Send a set-cookie header to a redirect url in node.js

After lots of trials and errors and googling I was finally able to achieve my goal. In order to send a cookie with an expiry to the the redirect URL, I just added

const expires = body.exp.toUTCString();
res.cookie('id_token', body.id_token, { expires });
res.redirect(302, 'http://localhost:8080');

in express 4.16.3 , you must set

res.cookie()

before

res.redirect()

and it works for me, without error
