How can I implement authentication and authorization in Nuxt.js?

You can implement authentication in Nuxt.js using middleware and plugins. Would you like to know about specific libraries?

Yes, what libraries do you recommend for authentication?

I recommend using Auth0, Firebase Authentication, or Nuxt Auth module. Each has its own advantages.

How do I set up the Nuxt Auth module?

To set up Nuxt Auth, install it via npm, then configure it in your nuxt.config.js file with your authentication provider details.

Can you provide an example configuration?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

export default {
  modules: [
    '@nuxtjs/auth-next',
    '@nuxtjs/axios',
  ],
  auth: {
    strategies: {
      local: {
        token: {
          property: 'access_token',
          global: true,
          required: true,
          type: 'Bearer',
        },
        user: {
          property: 'user',
          autoFetch: true,
        },
        endpoints: {
          login: { url: '/api/auth/login', method: 'post' },
          logout: { url: '/api/auth/logout', method: 'post' },
          user: { url: '/api/auth/user', method: 'get' },
        },
      },
    },
  },
};

This configures a local strategy with endpoints for login, logout, and fetching user data.
