node.js - Express req.cookie is undefined

Question

I'm am trying to set a cookie with a jwt in my express app. I can set the cookie without any problem, developer tools say it is set, but when i try to get it by using req.cookie['cookie'] it shows as 'undefined' in the nodejs console. I've read here and there and it seems that maybe there is a problem with the chrome developer tool. here's how i set it.

res.cookie('authcookie', jwt)

here's how i'm trying to get i back

const authCookie = req.cookies['authcookie']

I am using cookieParser.

Can you help find out what can i do to show it? Thanks
