Dependencies

• axios: Used as the default http client.
• Vuex: Used to store auth state.
• Vou Router: Used to redirect between pages.
• TypeScript: Written in TypeScript, optimize for Vue + TypeScript. But, also ship ESM and Common JS version on dist.

Installation

Install the package just like regular npm package.

npm i @gravitano/vue-auth
# OR
yarn add @gravitano/vue-auth

Usage

Use as Vue Plugin

Install the plugin to your Vue app.

// main.js
import {createApp} from 'vue';
import Auth from '@gravitano/vue-auth'; // 👈 import the plugin
import store from '~/store'
import router from '~/router'
import axios from 'axios'

const app = createApp(App);

app.use(Auth); // 👈 use the plugin

// or with custom options
// 👇
app.use(Auth, {
  options, // auth options
  store, // vuex store instance
  axios, // axios instance
  router // vue router instance
}); // 👈 use the plugin

app.mount('#app');

After that, you can access the plugin via $auth global property.

<template>
  <div v-if="$auth.loggedIn">Logged In as : {{ $auth.user.name }}</div>
</template>

If you are using composition API, you can also access the auth object by using inject method.

import {injectAuth} from '@gravitano/vue-auth'

// user is Ref
const {user} = injectAuth()

// access the user
console.log(user)

Use with Composition API

To use the auth in composition API, just import and use the useAuth function.

import {useAuth} from '@gravitano/vue-auth';

const auth = useAuth();

// OR with object destruction
const {user} = useAuth();

login(payload: Object): Promise<AxiosResponse>

Login the user and save token to the auth storage.

auth.login({
  email: 'admin@example.com',
  password: 'admin',
});

fetchUser(): Promise<AxiosResponse>

Fetch user data from API.

const user = await auth.fetchUser();
console.log(user);

setToken(tokenData: string): void

Manually Set User Token.

auth.setToken(token);

setUser(userData: Object): void

Manually set the user data.

const userData = {
  id: 1,
  name: 'Admin',
};

auth.setUser(userData);

logout(): boolean

Logout the current user.

auth.logout();

forceLogout(): boolean

Force logout the current user.

auth.forceLogout();

user: Object

Get the current user data.

console.log(auth.user);

loggedIn: boolean

Get the current logged in state.

console.log(auth.loggedIn);

Manually Creating The Auth Function

First, create auth.ts file under your src/plugins folder.

import {authOptions} from '~/config';
import store, {AppRootState} from '~/store';
import {createAuth} from '@gravitano/vue-auth';
import axios from 'axios';
import router from '~/router';

export const useAuth = () => createAuth<AppRootState>(authOptions, axios, store, router);

Then, in your component, just import and use it as regular composition function. For example:

<script setup lang="ts">
import {useAuth} from '~/plugins/auth'

// destruct user object from `useAuth` function
const {user} = useAuth();

console.log(user); // <-- user data
</script>

Default Options

This is the default options object:

import { AuthOptions } from '@gravitano/vue-auth'

export const defaultOptions: AuthOptions = {
  endpoints: {
    login: {
      url: '/auth/login',
      method: 'post',
    },
    logout: {
      url: '/auth/logout',
      method: 'delete',
    },
    user: {
      url: '/auth/me',
      method: 'get',
    },
  },
  token: {
    property: 'data.token',
    type: 'Bearer',
    storageName: 'auth.token',
    autoDecode: false,
    name: 'Authorization',
  },
  user: {
    autoFetch: true,
    property: 'data',
    storageName: 'auth.user',
  },
  moduleName: 'auth',
  expiredStorage: 'auth.expired',
  redirect: {
    home: '/',
    login: '/auth/login',
