Implementing Laravel Sanctum Token Authentication with Nuxt/Auth

Introduction: The Problem of Token Authentication

If you're a developer working with Laravel and Nuxt.js, you may have encountered challenges integrating token-based authentication with Laravel Sanctum while using the Nuxt/Auth module. You might be trying to authenticate users based on their credentials—like their username or password—but struggling with the methods provided by Nuxt/Auth to manage user sessions. If you've faced this issue—where methods such as setUserToken and setUser don’t seem to function properly—you're not alone. In this post, we'll break down how you can effectively use Laravel Sanctum for token authentication with Nuxt/Auth, ensuring a smooth user experience.

Understanding the Basics of Laravel Sanctum and Nuxt/Auth

Before diving into solutions, it's essential to comprehend how Laravel Sanctum and Nuxt/Auth function together.

What is Laravel Sanctum?

Laravel Sanctum is a simple package that allows you to use token-based authentication for single-page applications (SPAs), mobile applications, and simple API token usage. It allows for easy authentication setup and management of API tokens without requiring OAuth complexities.

What is Nuxt/Auth?

Nuxt/Auth is a module for Nuxt.js that provides a powerful authentication layer. It allows developers to handle user authentication and session management easily, providing multiple strategies for both cookie-based and token-based methods.

The Solution: Utilizing Token-Based Authentication with Nuxt/Auth

You may have initially relied on the cookie-based authentication strategy recommended in the documentation. However, to enhance the token-based authentication flow, you'll want to switch to a local strategy.

Step 1: Configure Nuxt/Auth with the Local Strategy

Instead of using the default Sanctum strategy, configure the Nuxt/Auth to use its local strategy. This adjustment simplifies token management.

In your Nuxt configuration (usually in nuxt.config.js), you can set it up as follows:

Step 2: Return the Token from Laravel upon Login

The next step is to ensure that your Laravel backend returns the token as expected after a successful login. Modify your login function so that it returns the token correctly:

Step 3: Let Nuxt/Auth Handle User's Token and Data

One of the great advantages of this configuration is that you don't need to manually set the user's token or user data. Nuxt/Auth automatically handles this if configured correctly. Here's a quick overview of how the login flow should now work:

User logs in via a form submission that interacts with your /auth/login endpoint.

Upon success, the server responds with the token.

Nuxt/Auth saves the token and automatically manages the user's authentication state.

Conclusion: Streamlining your Authentication Process

By switching to a local strategy for token-based authentication with Laravel Sanctum and Nuxt/Auth, you simplify your code and enhance user experience. You eliminate the need for repetitive manual settings of user tokens and data, allowing Nuxt/Auth to handle these aspects automatically.

If you're still encountering issues, ensure all your endpoint URLs match your API structure and that your Laravel setup is correctly configured to respond with the token as shown. With these adjustments, you should be up and running with a smooth authentication flow between your Laravel backend and Nuxt frontend.
