Local

Source Code

local is the default, general purpose authentication scheme, supporting Cookie and JWT login flows.

By default local scheme is enabled and preconfigured. You can set strategies.local to false to disable it.

Usage

To do a password based login by sending credentials in request body as a JSON object:

<template>
  <div>
    <form @submit="userLogin">
      <div>
        <label>Username</label>
        <input type="text" v-model="login.username" />
      </div>
      <div>
        <label>Password</label>
        <input type="text" v-model="login.password" />
      </div>
      <div>
        <button type="submit">Submit</button>
      </div>
    </form>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  data() {
    return {
      login: {
        username: '',
        password: ''
      }
    }
  },
  methods: {
    async userLogin() {
      try {
        let response = await this.$auth.loginWith('local', { data: this.login })
        console.log(response)
      } catch (err) {
        console.log(err)
      }
    }
  }
}
</script>

Options

Example for a token based flow:

auth: {
  strategies: {
    local: {
      endpoints: {
        login: { url: '/api/auth/login', method: 'post', propertyName: 'token' },
        logout: { url: '/api/auth/logout', method: 'post' },
        user: { url: '/api/auth/user', method: 'get', propertyName: 'user' }
      },
      // tokenRequired: true,
      // tokenType: 'bearer'
      // autoFetchUser: true
    }
  }
}

Example for a cookie based flow:

auth: {
  strategies: {
    local: {
      endpoints: {
        login: { url: '/api/auth/login', method: 'post' },
      },
      tokenRequired: false,
      tokenType: false
    }
  }
}

endpoints

Each endpoint is used to make requests using axios. They are basically extending Axios Request Config.

::: tip To disable each endpoint, simply set its value to false. :::

propertyName

propertyName can be used to specify which field of the response JSON to be used for value. It can be false to directly use API response or being more complicated like auth.user.

tokenRequired

This option can be used to disable all token handling. Useful for Cookie only flows. (Enabled by default)

tokenName

• Default: Authorization

  Authorization header name to be used in axios requests.

tokenType

• Default: Bearer

  Authorization header type to be used in axios requests.

  autoFetchUser

  • Default: true

  This option can be used to disable user fetch after login.

  TIP: It is useful when your login response already have the user. To manually set the user, use setUser.
