How do I implement authentication tokens in Vue.js with Vue Router?

To implement authentication tokens in Vue.js with Vue Router, you can use a combination of Vuex for state management and Vue Router for navigation. First, you'll need to store the token in local storage after a successful login.

How do I store the token in local storage?

You can use the localStorage.setItem('token', yourToken) method to store the token. Make sure to retrieve it using localStorage.getItem('token') when needed.

How can I protect certain routes based on the authentication status?

You can use navigation guards in Vue Router. Define a beforeEach guard that checks if the token exists in local storage before allowing access to protected routes.

What if the token expires?

You should implement a refresh token mechanism or redirect the user to the login page if the token is expired.
