  axios: {},

  router: {
    middleware: ['auth']
  },

  auth: {
    strategies: {
      cookie: {
        scheme: '~/schemes/customScheme',
        cookie: {
          name: 'session_id',
        },
        token: {
          required: false,
          type: false
        },
        user: {
          property: false,
          autoFetch: true
        },
        endpoints: {
          login: {
            url: `${process.env.API_BASE_URL}/login`,
            method: 'post'
          },
          logout: {
            url: `${process.env.API_BASE_URL}/logout`,
            method: 'post'
          },
          user: {
            url: `${process.env.API_BASE_URL}/user`,
            method: 'get'
          }
        }
      },
    }
  }

~/schemes/customScheme.js

export default class CustomScheme extends LocalScheme {
  // Override `fetchUser` method of `local` scheme
  async fetchUser (endpoint) {
    // Try to fetch user and then set
    return this.$auth.requestWith(
      this.name,
      endpoint,
      this.options.endpoints.user
    ).then((response) => {
      this.$auth.setUser(response.data)

      return response
    }).catch((error) => {
      this.$auth.callOnError(error, { method: 'fetchUser' })
    })
  }
}

I use Ktor for my backend and when I login via the /login route I receive the following response so the cookie gets set correctly in the client browser.

The issue is that when I then try to fetch the user via the /user route the cookie doesn't get sent in the request and so I get a 401 back as the server doesn't get any session cookie so it threats me as unauthorized.

Also I'm using the customScheme.js scheme because the normal fetchUser() method of the default local scheme just fails silently.

Questions

• How can I send the cookie in the /user request?
• How can I fix the fact that fetchUser() just fails silently?

For all those who have the same issue, just create a plugin for axios and put

export default function ({ $axios }, inject) {
  $axios.defaults.withCredentials = true
}

This allows the cookie to be sent and it's missing in the auth module

Another workaround is to set axios to use credentials in nuxt.config.js:

axios: {
  credentials: true
}
