Authentication in web applications is a complex task due to the lack of a universal solution and various security concerns like cross-site scripting (XSS). Single-page applications (SPAs) often use token-based authentication, typically employing JSON web tokens (JWTs) for scalability and simplicity. This tutorial demonstrates how to implement authentication in a Vue app connected to a GraphQL API, using tools like Vue-Apollo for integrating GraphQL, Vuex for state management, and Vue Router for navigation. The app involves creating a registration and login interface, storing authentication tokens in localStorage, and using Apollo Client to manage data requests and mutations in GraphQL. The tutorial provides step-by-step guidance on setting up the environment, creating components, configuring state management, and implementing route guards to ensure only authenticated users can access certain parts of the application. Additionally, it highlights using LogRocket for monitoring and debugging Vue applications by capturing user interactions, network requests, and errors, aiding in the development of robust and secure web applications.
