Headers not showing in fetch response

问题

I can see the header "x-auth-token" in Chrome DevTools.

However, the header is not showing up in my fetch response. Please assist so I can use header data.

I am using NodeJS as my backend API and ReactJS as my front-end. These are my files.

NodeJS middleware - cors.js

module.exports = function enableCorsSupport(app) {
  app.use(function(req, res, next) {
    res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
    res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", "POST, GET, PUT, DELETE");
    res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "Content-Type, x-auth-token");
    res.header("Access-Control-Expose-Headers", "x-auth-token");
    next();
  })
}

NodeJS route - users.js

router.post('/login', async (req, res) => {

  // NOTE: code left out so post would be smaller

  const token = user.generateAuthToken();
  res.header('x-auth-token', token).send(_.pick(user, ['_id', 'firstName', 'email', 'isAdmin']));
})

ReactJS - my fetch request

fetch('http://localhost:4000/api/users/login', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      email: this.props.email,
      password: this.props.password
    })
  })
  .then(res => {
    console.log('res.headers', res.headers)
    return res.json()
  })
  .then(data => {
    console.log(data);
  })
  .catch((err) => {
    console.log(err)
  })
}

This is in my Chrome console from the console.log in my successful fetch request. Headers are empty in the header response. Please advise. FYI this is user test data.

The Header object is not empty. It is just not a regular object so it doesn't have its contents as properties on its instance. As such you won't see the headers / values in a console.log view.

To get a particular header's value you need to use the get() method

var token = response.headers.get('x-auth-token');
console.log(token);

You can also loop through it using for ... of

for(const header of response.headers){
   console.log(header);
}

Demo

fetch('https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com')
.then(res=>{
  for(const header of res.headers){
    console.log(`Name: ${header[0]}, Value:${header[1]}`);
  }
});

With Node.js I found this solution, using exposedHeaders:

const cors = require('cors');
const express = require('express');

// ..........

var app = express();
app.use(cors({
  exposedHeaders: ['x-auth-token'],
}));

And for read, it's ok:

x_auth_token = res.headers.get('x-auth-token');
