How can I handle authentication errors in a Django-Vue application?

How can I handle authentication errors in a Django-Vue application?

You can handle authentication errors by implementing error handling in both your Django backend and Vue frontend. In Django, use middleware to catch authentication errors and return appropriate HTTP status codes. In Vue, you can use Axios interceptors to catch these errors and display user-friendly messages.

What specific error codes should I handle?

You should handle common HTTP status codes like 401 (Unauthorized) and 403 (Forbidden). For 401, prompt the user to log in, and for 403, inform them they don't have permission to access the resource.

How can I display these error messages in my Vue components?

You can use Vue's reactive data properties to store error messages. When an error occurs, update the property and use it in your template to display the message to the user.

Can I log these errors for debugging purposes?

Yes, you can log errors on the server side in Django using logging libraries, and on the client side in Vue, you can use console logging or send error reports to a monitoring service.
