How do I implement authentication in a Nuxt.js application?

To implement authentication in a Nuxt.js app, you can use the @nuxtjs/auth module along with @nuxtjs/axios.

What are the steps to set up @nuxtjs/auth?

First, install the module, then configure it in your nuxt.config.js file, and finally set up your login and logout methods.

Can you show me a basic configuration example?

Sure! In your nuxt.config.js, add the auth module and configure the strategies like this:

modules: ['@nuxtjs/auth', '@nuxtjs/axios'],

auth: {
  strategies: {
    local: {
      endpoints: {
        login: { url: '/api/auth/login', method: 'post', propertyName: 'token' },
        logout: { url: '/api/auth/logout', method: 'post' },
        user: { url: '/api/auth/user', method: 'get', propertyName: 'user' }
      }
    }
  }
}

What about protecting routes?

You can protect routes by using middleware. Create a middleware file that checks if the user is authenticated and apply it to your pages.
