New setting headersResponse

[nitedani]

Description

I'd like the ability to set response headers in a hook/config.

This would be useful for, for example https://github.com/magne4000/vite-plugin-vercel, so it could allow users to set cache-control headers in their +config.js file, to leverage Vercels edge cache.

I think headers could be a vike core config, for example:

// +config.js
export default {
	headers: { "Cache-Control" : "s-maxage=15" }
}

Agreed. Although I'd name it headersResponse (because of pageContext.headers and #1268).

How much of a priority is it?

(I think) related to this I'd like to be able to set a cookie from a +data.ts file.

[brillout]

@gnardini Indeed with useConfig() it would be a nice addition.

In the meantime, how about the following?

// +data.js

export default (pageContext) => {
  pageContext.theCookieIWantToadd = '...'
}

Then access it at your renderPage() integration.

I use vike-solid and I want to set response cookies dynamically like in solid start where you can use (getRequestEvent() as RequestEvent & { response: Response })?.response?.headers which allows for modification too. It seams that vike dosen't offer something similar

@BierDav I agree it'd be nice to make it accessible with useConfig() and/or over pageContext. In the meantime, see the workaround in my previous comment.

[BierDav]

What is the timeframe until we can get this feature, the workaround is quite tedious for such a simple task.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think if you create a component hook then you get a pretty good DX.

Pointers to Solid Start's docs welcome and I'll compare the DX with what we plan for Vike.

There isn't any ETA, but for sure not before we finish our work on Vike's CLI. (I.e. not before the upcoming 0.5.0 release.)
