How can I protect routes in a Vue 3 application using Auth0?

To protect routes in a Vue 3 app with Auth0, you can use navigation guards. First, ensure you have Auth0 set up in your project.

What are navigation guards and how do I implement them?

Navigation guards are functions that control access to routes. You can implement them in your router configuration by checking if the user is authenticated.

Can you show me a code example for that?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

import { createRouter, createWebHistory } from 'vue-router';
import { auth } from './auth'; // Your Auth0 setup

const routes = [
  { path: '/protected', component: ProtectedComponent, meta: { requiresAuth: true } },
  // other routes
];

const router = createRouter({
  history: createWebHistory(),
  routes,
});

router.beforeEach((to, from, next) => {
  if (to.meta.requiresAuth && !auth.isAuthenticated()) {
    next('/login');
  } else {
    next();
  }
});

export default router;

What if I want to redirect users after login?

You can use the redirectUri parameter in your Auth0 login method to specify where users should be redirected after logging in.
