How can I implement authentication in my Vue.js app using Vuex?

You can manage authentication in Vue.js using Vuex by creating a store module for authentication. This module will handle the state, mutations, and actions related to user login, logout, and session management.

What should I include in the Vuex store for authentication?

In your Vuex store, include state properties like isAuthenticated, user, and token. Create mutations to update these properties and actions to handle API calls for login and logout.

Can you give me an example of the login action?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

async login({ commit }, credentials) {
  const response = await axios.post('/api/login', credentials);
  commit('SET_USER', response.data.user);
  commit('SET_TOKEN', response.data.token);
}

How do I protect routes in my Vue app?

You can use navigation guards in Vue Router to protect routes. Check the isAuthenticated state before allowing access to certain routes.
