How can I use Vuex for authentication in my Vue.js app?

You can use Vuex to manage authentication state by creating a store module that handles user login, logout, and state.

What should I include in my Vuex store for authentication?

Include actions for login and logout, mutations to update the state, and getters to access the authentication status.

Can you show me a basic example of the Vuex store for authentication?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

const auth = {
  state: { user: null },
  mutations: {
    SET_USER(state, user) {
      state.user = user;
    },
  },
  actions: {
    login({ commit }, user) {
      // Perform login logic and then commit the user
      commit('SET_USER', user);
    },
    logout({ commit }) {
      commit('SET_USER', null);
    },
  },
  getters: {
    isAuthenticated: state => !!state.user,
  },
};

This sets up a basic structure for managing user authentication.

How do I integrate this Vuex store with my Vue components?

You can use mapState and mapActions from Vuex in your components to access the authentication state and actions.
