How can I implement authentication in Vue.js using cookies?

You can implement authentication in Vue.js using cookies by setting a cookie when the user logs in and checking it on subsequent requests.

What libraries or tools do I need for this?

You can use libraries like Axios for making HTTP requests and js-cookie for handling cookies in your Vue.js application.

Can you provide a code example?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import Cookies from 'js-cookie';

// On login
Cookies.set('authToken', token);

// On subsequent requests
const token = Cookies.get('authToken');

How do I handle cookie expiration?

You can set an expiration time when creating the cookie, like this:

Cookies.set('authToken', token, { expires: 7 }); // Expires in 7 days
