How do I implement authentication in a Nuxt.js app using Axios?

To implement authentication in a Nuxt.js app using Axios, you can follow these steps: 1. Set up Axios in your Nuxt project. 2. Create a login form. 3. Use Axios to send a POST request to your authentication API. 4. Store the token in local storage or Vuex. 5. Use middleware to protect routes.

Can you show me an example of the Axios POST request for login?

Sure! Here's an example of an Axios POST request for login:

this.$axios.post('/api/login', { username, password })
  .then(response => {
    // Handle successful login
    localStorage.setItem('token', response.data.token);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    // Handle error
    console.error('Login failed:', error);
  });

How do I protect my routes after logging in?

You can protect your routes by using middleware in Nuxt.js. Create a middleware file, check for the token in local storage, and redirect to the login page if the token is not present.

What if I want to log out the user?

To log out the user, simply remove the token from local storage and redirect them to the login page. You can do this with a method like:

logout() {
  localStorage.removeItem('token');
  this.$router.push('/login');
}
