Auth Axios Adapter for Vue Admin

Introduction

This package is one of the adapters that can be used with Vue Admin. It provides very simple and minimalistic authentication and authorization support for the axios client.

Dependencies

• vue-admin-js types The action types provided by Vue Admin to generate modifications in the store.
• axios This package assumes axios is already installed in your project.

Installation

Install as an npm dependency

  npm install --save va-auth-axios-adapter

Configuration

We recommend to implement your adapters in a separate directory from your App.vue

Let's assume in our src/ directory we created another directory named providers and we wrote our implementation there.

src/providers/auth.axios.adapter.js

import { createAxiosAdapter } from 'va-auth-axios-adapter'
import axios from 'axios'

const authUrl = 'http://localhost:8888/api/auth'
const client = axios

const authProvider = createAxiosAdapter(client, {
  authUrl,
})

export default authProvider

Options

The Adapter accepts the following options:

• authFields: The fields of the credentials supported in your backend. (optional)
• authUrl: The url of your authentication api (required)
• storageKey: The name of the field of your token (optional)
• userField: The name of the field of the user object in the backend response (optional)

Here is an example using the default values for some of the options

src/providers/auth.axios.adapter.js

const authFields = { username: 'username', password: 'password' }
const authUrl = 'http://localhost:8888/api/auth'
const client = axios
const storageKey = 'token'
const userField = 'user'

const authProvider = createAxiosAdapter(client, {
  authFields,
  authUrl,
  storageKey,
  userField,
})

export default authProvider

Usage

Simply assign the returned value from the createAxiosAdapter function into the Admin component

src/App.vue

<template>
  <Admin :authProvider="authProvider">
    <Resource>
      <!-- Your Views should be here -->
    </Resource>
  </Admin>
</template>

<script>
  import authProvider from './providers/auth.axios.adapter'

  export default {
    name: 'App',
    components: {
      Admin: Admin,
      Resource: Resource
    },
    data() {
      return {
        authProvider,
        // The rest of your View components ...
      }
    }
  }
</script>
