Step 15

Notice when we redirect to dashboard, we pass the username as query parameter:

res.redirect(`/dashboard?username=${user.username}`);

We can now change this to instead use a cookie to store username.

res.cookie("username", user.username).redirect(`/dashboard`);

Also, update update the route handler for dashboard so that you read the username from set cookie:

- const username = req.query.username;
+ const username = req.cookies.username;

Save index.js. Go to the application and login. Make sure the dashboard view works as intended.
