Express.js - delete cookie

In this short article, we would like to show you how to delete cookies in Express.js.

Note:

To be able to work with cookies in Express.js, we will use cookie-parser middleware, so use:

npm install cookie-parser

Delete cookie example

To delete cookies, we use response.clearCookie() method with specified cookie name (username).

const express = require('express');
const cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');

const app = express();

app.use(cookieParser());

app.get('/clear-cookie', (request, response) => {
    response.clearCookie('username');
    response.send('Cookie cleared');
});

app.listen(3000);
