VueSanctum

VueSanctum is an adapter for the Laravel Sanctum Authentication flow for SPA's. The Plugin takes care to fetch the CSRF-Token and can manage your Application state if the user is authenticated or not.

Pre-Requirements

The only requirement is to have an axios instance which must be passed as plugin option.

⏩ Quickstart

1. Installation:

npm install vue-sanctum

2. Setup:

import VueSanctum from 'vue-sanctum';

// you have to have to create an axios instance
// with configured baseURL
// and `withCredentials: true`

Vue.use(VueSanctum, {
    axios: axios
});

3. Usage:

<script>
    export default {
        data() {
            return {
                credentials: {
                    email: null,
                    password: null,
                },
            };
        },
        methods: {
            onLogin() {
                this.$sanctum.login(this.credentials)
                    .then(response => {
                        // now you are logged in
                        // the XSRF-Token was fetched and stored
                        // and also the session cookie stored
                        // all further subsequent request are authenticated
                    })
                    .catch(error => {
                        // whoops, something went wrong
                    });
            },
            fetchLoggedUser() {
                this.$sanctum.me()
                    .then(response => {
                        // the current logged-in user is returned
                    })
                    .catch(error => {
                        // whoops, something went wrong
                    });
            },
            onLogout() {
                this.$sanctum.logout()
                    .then(response => {
                        // now you are logged out
                        // and the XSRF-Token are deleted
                    })
                    .catch(error => {
                        // whoops, something went wrong
                    });
            },
        },
    }
</script>

🚀 Powerful start with Vuex

1. Installation:

npm install vue-sanctum

2. Setup:

import Vue from 'vue';
import VueSanctum from 'vue-sanctum';
import axios from 'axios';
import router from './router';
import store from './store';

/**
* Create your axios instance
const axiosInstance = axios.create({
    baseURL: 'http://sanctum.dev',
    withCredentials: true,
    ...
}) 
*/

// pass in the store to activate the vuex sanctum module.
Vue.use(VueSanctum, {
    axios: axiosInstance,
    store,
});

new Vue({
  router,
  store,
  render: (h) => h(App),
}).$mount('#app');

Usage:

<template>
    <div>
        <p v-if="isAuthenticated">Hello {{ user.name}}!</p>
        <p v-else>You are not logged in</p>
        <!-- Your login form  -->
    </div>
</template>

<script>
import { mapGetters, mapActions } from 'vuex';
export default {
  data() {
    return {
      credentials: {
        email: null,
        password: null,
      },
    };
  },

  computed: {
    ...mapGetters({
      isAuthenticated: 'sanctum/isAuthenticated',
      user: 'sanctum/getUser',
    }),
  },

  methods: {
    ...mapActions({
      login: 'sanctum/login',
      logout: 'sanctum/logout',
    }),
    onLogin() {
      this.login(this.credentials)
        .then(data => {
            // now you are logged in
            // the XSRF-Token was fetched and stored
            // and also the session cookie stored
            // all further subsequent request are authenticated

            // with activated vuex feature the login action on success
            // dispatch automatically the fetchUser action and store 
            // the authenticated user in the vuex store.
            // It also set the isAuthenticated state to true
            // so you can check anywhere in your application if the user is authenticated or not
        })
        .catch(error => {
           // whoops, something went wrong
        });
    },
    onLogout() {
      this.logout()
        .then(response => {
            // now you are logged out
            // and the state of the vuex sanctum module are cleared.
        })
        .catch(error => {
            // whoops, something went wrong
        });
    },
  },

};
</script>

🔥 Auto-Login Feautre:

The activated Vuex feature provides a tryAutoLogin() action. It will check if the XSRF-Token are already exists, then try to fetch the mightly authenticated user. If the session cookie is not expired it will store the authentiacted user in the vuex store and set the isAuthenticated state to true. It is recommended to dispatch this action directly in the created() hook in your App.vue file.

<script>
import {  mapActions } from 'vuex';

export default {
    name: 'App',
    methods: {
        ...mapActions({
            tryAutoLogin: 'sanctum/tryAutoLogin',
        }),
    },
    created() {
        this.tryAutoLogin();
    },
};
</script>
