How can I implement JWT authentication in a Vuex store?

To implement JWT authentication in a Vuex store, you can follow these steps: 1. Set up your Vuex store. 2. Create actions for login and logout. 3. Store the JWT in local storage. 4. Use Vuex state to manage user authentication status.

Can you show me a code example for the login action?

Sure! Here's a simple example of a login action in Vuex:

login({ commit }, credentials) {
  return axios.post('/api/login', credentials)
    .then(response => {
      const token = response.data.token;
      localStorage.setItem('jwt', token);
      commit('SET_USER', response.data.user);
    });
}

What about handling token expiration?

You can handle token expiration by checking the token's validity before making API calls. If it's expired, redirect the user to the login page.

How do I refresh the token?

You can implement a refresh token mechanism by storing a refresh token alongside the JWT and using it to request a new JWT when the old one expires.
