How do I implement authentication in a Vue app using Axios?

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

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

Sure! Here's a simple example:

axios.post('https://yourapi.com/login', {
  username: this.username,
  password: this.password
})
.then(response => {
  localStorage.setItem('token', response.data.token);
})
.catch(error => {
  console.error('Authentication failed:', error);
});

What should I do with the token after logging in?

After logging in, you should store the token in local storage or a Vuex store. Use it to authenticate subsequent requests by including it in the headers.

How can I protect my routes in Vue using the token?

You can use Vue Router's navigation guards to protect your routes. Check for the token in local storage before allowing access to certain routes.
