How do I implement authentication tokens in Nuxt.js?

To implement authentication tokens in Nuxt.js, you can use the @nuxtjs/auth module along with @nuxtjs/axios. First, install these packages.

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

1. Install the module: npm install @nuxtjs/auth @nuxtjs/axios.
2. Add @nuxtjs/auth and @nuxtjs/axios to your nuxt.config.js modules section.
3. Configure the authentication strategies in the auth property of your nuxt.config.js.

Can you show me a sample configuration for the auth module?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

export default {
  modules: [
    '@nuxtjs/axios',
    '@nuxtjs/auth',
  ],
  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' }
        },
        token: {
          property: 'token',
          global: true,
          required: true,
          type: 'Bearer'
        },
        user: {
          property: 'user'
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

What should I do if I encounter issues with token expiration?

You can handle token expiration by checking the token's validity before making requests. If it's expired, redirect the user to the login page or refresh the token using a refresh token strategy.
