npm i cookie-parser 
//server.js
import cookieParser from "cookie-parser";
app.use(cookieParser()); // now we can use req.cookie in application
app.use("/api/v1/auth", auth);

//routes/auth.js
import { getMe, login, register } from "../controller/auth.js";
router.post("/register", register);
export default router;

//controller/auth.js
const register = asyncHandler(async (req, res, next) => {
   const { name, email, password, role } = req.body;

   //Create user.
   const user = await User.create({
      name,
      email,
      password,
      role,
   });
   sendTokenResponse(user, 200, res);
});


//Section Get token from model,create cookie and send response.
const sendTokenResponse = (user, statusCode, res) => {
   //COMMENT::Create Token
   const token = user.getSignedJwtToken();//object method to get token.
   const options = {
     //expire in how many day we want.
      expires: new Date(Date.now() + process.env.JWT_COOKIE_EXPIRE * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000),
      httpOnly: true,
   };
   if (process.env.NODE_ENV === "production") {
      options.secure = true;
   }
   res.status(statusCode).cookie("token", token, options).json({ sucess: true, token });
};
