How can I implement authentication in my Nuxt.js app using Passport.js?

To implement authentication in your Nuxt.js app using Passport.js, you need to set up a backend server with Express and configure Passport for strategies like local or OAuth.

What are the steps to set up Passport.js with a local strategy?

First, install Passport and the necessary packages. Then, create a user model, configure Passport with the local strategy, and set up routes for login and registration.

Can you show me an example of the login route?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

app.post('/login', passport.authenticate('local', {
  successRedirect: '/dashboard',
  failureRedirect: '/login',
}));
