An ad-hoc module to periodically refresh @nuxtjs/auth for the local scheme.

Setup

• Install the npm package

npm install nuxt-auth-refresh
# or 
yarn add nuxt-auth-refresh

• Register the module before @nuxtjs/auth and @nuxtjs/axios

// nuxt.config.js
modules: [
    ['nuxt-auth-refresh', config.refreshAuth],
    ['@nuxtjs/auth', config.auth],
    ['@nuxtjs/axios', config.axios],
]

The module will automatically start the refresh interval after logging in.

• Add a client side plugin to start the refresh interval for users authenticated from stored token.

// ~/plugins/refresh-auth-token.js
export default ({app, store}) => {
    await (
        app.$auth.loggedIn ? app.$auth.fetchUserOnce().catch((e) => {}) : null
    )

    if(app.$auth.user) {
        app.$authRefresh.initRefreshInterval()
    }
}

// nuxt.config.js
auth: {
    plugins: [
        '~/plugins/refresh-auth-token'
    ]
}

• You can attach an error handler for the refresh attempts

app.$authRefresh.onRefreshError((e) => {
    // handle the token refresh here
})

  // the namespace for our vuex module
