NextRequest extends the [Web Request API](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Request) with additional convenience methods.

## `cookies`

Read or mutate the [`Set-Cookie`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Set-Cookie) header of the request.

### `set(name, value)`

Given a name, set a cookie with the given value on the request.

```ts
// Given incoming request /home
// Set a cookie to hide the banner
// request will have a `Set-Cookie:show-banner=false;path=/home` header
request.cookies.set('show-banner', 'false')
```

### `get(name)`

Given a cookie name, return the value of the cookie. If the cookie is not found, `undefined` is returned. If multiple cookies are found, the first one is returned.

```ts
// Given incoming request /home
// { name: 'show-banner', value: 'false', Path: '/home' }
request.cookies.get('show-banner')
```

### `getAll()`

Given a cookie name, return the values of the cookie. If no name is given, return all cookies on the request.

```ts
// Given incoming request /home
// [
//   { name: 'experiments', value: 'new-pricing-page', Path: '/home' },
//   { name: 'experiments', value: 'winter-launch', Path: '/home' },
// ]
request.cookies.getAll('experiments')
// Alternatively, get all cookies for the request
request.cookies.getAll()
```

### `delete(name)`

Given a cookie name, delete the cookie from the request.

```ts
// Returns true for deleted, false is nothing is deleted
request.cookies.delete('experiments')
```

### `has(name)`

Given a cookie name, return `true` if the cookie exists on the request.

```ts
// Returns true if cookie exists, false if it does not
request.cookies.has('experiments')
```

### `clear()`

Remove the `Set-Cookie` header from the request.

```ts
request.cookies.clear()
```

## `nextUrl`

Extends the native [`URL`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/URL) API with additional convenience methods, including Next.js specific properties.

```ts
// Given a request to /home, pathname is /home
request.nextUrl.pathname
// Given a request to /home?name=lee, searchParams is { 'name': 'lee' }
request.nextUrl.searchParams
```

## `ip`

The `ip` property is a string that contains the IP address of the request. This value can optionally be provided by your hosting platform.

> **Good to know:**
>
> On [Vercel](https://vercel.com/docs/frameworks/nextjs?utm_source=next-site\&utm_medium=docs\&utm_campaign=next-website), this value is provided by default. On other platforms, you can use the [`X-Forwarded-For`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/X-Forwarded-For) header to provide the IP address.

```ts
// Provided by Vercel
request.ip
// Self-hosting
request.headers.get('X-Forwarded-For')
```

## `geo`

The `geo` property is an object that contains the geographic information of the request. This value can optionally be provided by your hosting platform.

> **Good to know:**
>
> On [Vercel](https://vercel.com/docs/frameworks/nextjs?utm_source=next-site\&utm_medium=docs\&utm_campaign=next-website), this value is provided by default. On other platforms, you can use the [`X-Forwarded-For`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/X-Forwarded-For) header to provide the IP address, then use a [third-party service](https://ip-api.com/) to lookup the geographic information.

```ts
// Provided by Vercel
request.geo.city
request.geo.country
request.geo.region
request.geo.latitude
request.geo.longitude

// Self-hosting
function getGeo(request) {
  let ip = request.headers.get('X-Forwarded-For')
  // Use a third-party service to lookup the geographic information
}
```
