Handling authentication in Vue.js using Vuex, Vue Router, and Auth0

Authentication is a vital security feature for web applications, and Auth0 provides a robust solution that simplifies its implementation. By integrating Auth0 with Vue, developers can streamline authentication processes without starting from scratch. This tutorial guides users through setting up an authentication service using Auth0, Vuex, and Vue Router, bypassing the existing SPA SDK and Vue plugin. It begins with installing Vue CLI, setting up a project, and configuring Auth0 settings, including domain, client ID, and URL permissions. Detailed steps are provided for initializing Auth0 within Vuex, handling authentication state and user data, and managing login and logout processes through Vue components. The tutorial further explains how to use Vue Router to enforce authentication on specific routes, ensuring secure access control. Finally, it offers insights into deploying the app while maintaining security and exploring additional resources for debugging and monitoring Vue applications with tools like LogRocket.
