Nuxt Dev Defeats CORS Monster Using Auth Utils, Laravel Backend Now Actually Talks to Frontend

Silvester Wali, a frontend developer, shared his experience with resolving CORS issues and implementing authentication in a Nuxt.js application with a Laravel backend. Initially, he struggled with CORS problems when using Nuxt Auth, but later found a better approach using Nuxt Auth Utils, created by Sébastien Chopin. By utilizing this module, Wali was able to manage sessions and authenticate users securely. He implemented a separate file for handling sign-in requests, which passed user credentials to the Laravel API and stored the received token in the Nuxt Auth Utils session. Wali also created a middleware to protect routes and ensure users are logged in. Additionally, he extended the Nuxt Auth Utils session to keep user profiles in sync with the backend and handle logout requests. This approach resolved CORS issues and provided a smooth authentication experience, allowing Wali to focus on building features for his application.
