Summary

The text provides a comprehensive guide for implementing authentication in a Nuxt.js application using Strapi, an open-source headless CMS, to streamline the development process. It begins with creating a Strapi project to handle backend authentication tasks such as user registration, login, and password management, utilizing built-in role-based access control and customizable REST API. The tutorial then transitions to setting up a Nuxt.js frontend project, integrating the Nuxt Auth Module to manage user authentication with a focus on JWT tokens. The guide also includes instructions for creating user interfaces for login, registration, and password reset, alongside configuring middleware to ensure only authenticated users access certain pages. Additionally, it covers handling expired JWT tokens by redirecting users to the login page through Axios error-interception, culminating in a fully-functional authentication flow ready for production deployment.
