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

You can implement authentication in Nuxt.js by using middleware and a dedicated API for handling user sessions.

What libraries or tools do I need for this?

You can use libraries like Axios for API requests and Auth0 or Firebase for authentication services.

Can you provide a code example?

Sure! Here's a simple example using Axios to log in a user:

async login() {
  const response = await this.$axios.$post('/api/auth/login', { username, password });
  this.$store.commit('SET_USER', response.user);
}

How do I protect certain routes in my application?

You can use middleware in Nuxt.js to check if a user is authenticated before allowing access to specific routes.
