middleware redirecting to authentification login but user is connected and cookie token is logged

Hello, I am doing my own authentification system with cookies, but i developed a middleware for protect pages, page for only user logged The problem is the user is logged but is redirecting to login, and when i console log they logging "cookie finded! not redirection"
export default defineNuxtRouteMiddleware(async (to, from) => {
const authCookie = useCookie('auth_token');

if (!authCookie.value) {
console.log('redirecting to login');
return navigateTo('/dashboard/auth/login');
} else {
console.log('cookie finded! not redirection');
}
});
export default defineNuxtRouteMiddleware(async (to, from) => {
const authCookie = useCookie('auth_token');

if (!authCookie.value) {
console.log('redirecting to login');
return navigateTo('/dashboard/auth/login');
} else {
console.log('cookie finded! not redirection');
}
});

Hi @Ihti.. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, I can offer some insights into your middleware issue. It seems you're experiencing a problem where the middleware is redirecting to the login page even when the user is logged in and the cookie is present. The issue you're facing could be related to how and when the middleware is executed. In Nuxt 3, middleware can run on both the server and client side, which can sometimes lead to unexpected behavior. Here are a few suggestions to troubleshoot and potentially resolve your issue: 1. Ensure that your middleware is not running on the server side when it's not necessary. You can use the import.meta.client check to skip the middleware on the server:
export default defineNuxtRouteMiddleware(async (to, from) => {
// Only run on client-side
if (import.meta.client) {
const authCookie = useCookie('auth_token');

if (!authCookie.value) {
console.log('redirecting to login');
return navigateTo('/dashboard/auth/login');
} else {
console.log('cookie found! not redirecting');
}
}
});
export default defineNuxtRouteMiddleware(async (to, from) => {
// Only run on client-side
if (import.meta.client) {
const authCookie = useCookie('auth_token');

if (!authCookie.value) {
console.log('redirecting to login');
return navigateTo('/dashboard/auth/login');
} else {
console.log('cookie found! not redirecting');
}
}
});
2. Consider using the nuxtApp instance to access cookies, as suggested in this Stack Overflow answer (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76831988):
export default defineNuxtRouteMiddleware(async (to, from) => {
const nuxt = useNuxtApp();
const authCookie = nuxt.$cookies.get('auth_token');

if (!authCookie) {
console.log('redirecting to login');
return navigateTo('/dashboard/auth/login');
} else {
console.log('cookie found! not redirecting');
}
});
export default defineNuxtRouteMiddleware(async (to, from) => {
const nuxt = useNuxtApp();
const authCookie = nuxt.$cookies.get('auth_token');

if (!authCookie) {
console.log('redirecting to login');
return navigateTo('/dashboard/auth/login');
} else {
console.log('cookie found! not redirecting');
}
});
3. If you're using Pinia for state management, you might want to consider initializing your auth state in a plugin before the middleware runs, as suggested in this Stack Overflow answer (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77590950). 4. Make sure that your cookie is being set correctly in the first place. You might want to double-check your login process to ensure the cookie is being set with the correct name and path. 5. If the issue persists, you might want to add more detailed logging to understand exactly when and where the middleware is being called, and what the state of the cookie is at each point. Remember, the behavior of cookies can sometimes be affected by browser settings, so make sure to test in different browsers and in incognito/private browsing mode as well. If none of these suggestions solve your problem, you might need to provide more details about your authentication setup and how you're setting the cookie in the first place. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- I apologize that the previous suggestions didn't resolve your issue. Let's try to dig deeper into the problem. Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, I can offer a few more insights that might help: 1. Cookie access timing: There might be an issue with when the cookie is being set and accessed. According to a GitHub issue (https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/21940), there was a problem where cookies set using useCookie in plugins were not immediately accessible in pages, requiring a page refresh. This issue has been addressed, but make sure you're using the latest version of Nuxt. 2. Middleware execution: The middleware might be running on both server and client sides, causing unexpected behavior. You could try to explicitly run it only on the client side:
export default defineNuxtRouteMiddleware((to, from) => {
// Only run on client-side
if (process.client) {
const authCookie = useCookie('auth_token');

if (!authCookie.value) {
console.log('redirecting to login');
return navigateTo('/dashboard/auth/login');
} else {
console.log('cookie found! not redirecting');
}
}
});
export default defineNuxtRouteMiddleware((to, from) => {
// Only run on client-side
if (process.client) {
const authCookie = useCookie('auth_token');

if (!authCookie.value) {
console.log('redirecting to login');
return navigateTo('/dashboard/auth/login');
} else {
console.log('cookie found! not redirecting');
}
}
});
3. Route matching: Ensure that your middleware is correctly applied to the routes you want to protect. You might want to check if it's being applied globally or to specific routes. 4. Authentication state: If you're using a state management solution like Pinia, make sure your authentication state is properly initialized before the middleware runs. 5. HTTPS issues: According to a Stack Overflow answer (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78543475), there might be issues when calling an HTTPS API from an HTTP frontend. If you're developing locally, try adding --https true to your dev script in package.json. If these suggestions don't help, it would be beneficial to provide more details about your setup, including: - The exact version of Nuxt you're using - How and where you're setting the auth cookie - The full middleware code and where it's located - Any authentication plugins or modules you're using With more information, we can provide a more targeted solution to your specific issue. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai in my server side they logging cookie found! not redirecting but in client side redirecting to login
kapa.ai

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- This behavior suggests that there's a discrepancy between how cookies are handled on the server side versus the client side in your Nuxt application. Let's analyze this issue based on the information provided in the knowledge sources: 1. Server-side vs. Client-side cookie handling: According to the Nuxt documentation on data fetching (https://nuxt.com/docs/getting-started/data-fetching#passing-headers-and-cookies), there's a known difference in how cookies are handled between server-side and client-side requests. On the server side, the $fetch request doesn't include the user's browser cookies by default. 2. Passing client headers to the API: To resolve this, you can use the useRequestHeaders composable to access and proxy cookies to the API from the server-side. Here's an example:
const headers = useRequestHeaders(['cookie'])
const { data } = await useFetch('/api/me', { headers })

const headers = useRequestHeaders(['cookie'])
const { data } = await useFetch('/api/me', { headers })

3. Middleware execution: Your middleware is likely running on both server and client sides, causing the discrepancy. To address this, you can modify your middleware to behave differently on the server and client:
export default defineNuxtRouteMiddleware((to, from) => {
if (process.server) {
// Server-side logic
const headers = useRequestHeaders(['cookie'])
// Check for authentication using headers
} else {
// Client-side logic
const authCookie = useCookie('auth_token')
if (!authCookie.value) {
console.log('redirecting to login')
return navigateTo('/dashboard/auth/login')
} else {
console.log('cookie found! not redirecting')
}
}
})

export default defineNuxtRouteMiddleware((to, from) => {
if (process.server) {
// Server-side logic
const headers = useRequestHeaders(['cookie'])
// Check for authentication using headers
} else {
// Client-side logic
const authCookie = useCookie('auth_token')
if (!authCookie.value) {
console.log('redirecting to login')
return navigateTo('/dashboard/auth/login')
} else {
console.log('cookie found! not redirecting')
}
}
})

4. Using useRequestFetch: As mentioned in a YouTube video about passing cookies in Nuxt 3 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vfwYaHtv3U), you might want to consider using useRequestFetch instead of useFetch to ensure that cookies and headers are properly passed in both server-side and client-side requests. 5. Debugging: To further debug this issue, you can use the debugging techniques mentioned in the Nuxt documentation (https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/going-further/debugging#debugging-with-node-inspector). This will allow you to inspect what's happening on the server side more closely. Remember, it's crucial to handle authentication consistently across both server and client sides. You might want to consider implementing a more robust authentication solution that works seamlessly in both environments, possibly using a Nuxt module designed for authentication. If the issue persists, you may want to create a minimal reproduction of the problem and consider reporting it as a potential bug to the Nuxt team, as suggested in the Nuxt documentation on reporting bugs (https://nuxt.com/docs/community/reporting-bugs#figure-out-what-the-cause-might-be). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- I apologize that the previous suggestions haven't resolved your issue. Since you're experiencing persistent problems with your Nuxt middleware and authentication, it would be helpful to have more detailed information about your setup and the exact behavior you're observing. Given the limited information available, I can offer a few more suggestions based on common issues in Nuxt applications: 1. Cookie settings: Ensure that your cookie is being set with the correct domain and path. You might want to check the cookie settings when it's being created. 2. Middleware order: As mentioned in the Nuxt documentation on middleware ordering (https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/directory-structure/middleware#ordering-global-middleware), the order of execution for global middleware is based on filename. Make sure your authentication middleware is running at the appropriate time. 3. Route navigation: There might be an issue with how navigation is being handled. As suggested in a Stack Overflow answer (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77271028), you could try modifying your navigation logic:
if (to.name == 'your-protected-route' && to.path !== from.path) {
if (from.path !== to.path) {
return
}
return navigateTo(to.path, { replace: false })
}

if (to.name == 'your-protected-route' && to.path !== from.path) {
if (from.path !== to.path) {
return
}
return navigateTo(to.path, { replace: false })
}

4. Debugging: To get more insight into what's happening, you could use the debugging techniques mentioned in the Nuxt documentation (https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/going-further/debugging#debugging-with-node-inspector). However, without more specific details about your setup and the exact nature of the problem, it's challenging to provide a definitive solution. If you could provide more information about: - Your Nuxt version - The full code of your middleware - How you're setting the authentication cookie - The exact behavior you're seeing (including any console logs or error messages) This would help in diagnosing the issue more accurately. If the problem persists, you might want to consider reporting it as a potential bug (https://nuxt.com/docs/community/reporting-bugs#figure-out-what-the-cause-might-be) to the Nuxt team, providing a minimal reproduction of the issue. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai in my browser console when i try to log cookie, they logged this : ssr eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6Ikpsdfw9.eyJjbGllbnRJZCI6MjIsImlhdCI6MTczMTE2MjI0OCwiZXhwIjoxNzMxNTA3ODQ4fQ.o1YmNkihfVwWs3ZHBgDYmDKn61zUJlNc12SKshKgv9o then is relogging but with undefined and in my server console only : eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6Ikpsdfw9.eyJjbGllbnRJZCI6MjIsImlhdCI6MTczMTE2MjI0OCwiZXhwIjoxNzMxNTA3ODQ4fQ.o1YmNkihfVwWs3ZHBgDYmDKn61zUJlNc12SKshKgv9o

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Based on the information you've provided, it seems you're experiencing an issue with cookie handling between server-side rendering (SSR) and client-side hydration in your Nuxt application. Let's analyze this behavior: 1. Server-side logging: The server console shows the full JWT token, which is correct. This indicates that the cookie is properly set and accessible on the server side. 2. Browser console logging: - First log: "ssr" followed by the JWT token. This suggests that the initial render is coming from the server-side rendered content. - Second log: "undefined". This indicates that when the client-side JavaScript takes over (hydration), it's unable to access the cookie. This behavior aligns with a known issue in Nuxt related to cookie handling between SSR and client-side hydration. Here are a few potential solutions: 1. Use refreshCookie: As mentioned in the Nuxt documentation for refreshCookie (https://nuxt.com/docs/api/utils/refresh-cookie), you can manually refresh the cookie value when it changes. This utility is available since Nuxt v3.10. Here's an example:
const tokenCookie = useCookie('auth_token')

// After setting the cookie
refreshCookie('auth_token')

const tokenCookie = useCookie('auth_token')

// After setting the cookie
refreshCookie('auth_token')

2. Enable experimental cookieStore option: The same documentation suggests enabling the experimental cookieStore option to automatically refresh useCookie value when the cookie changes in the browser:
// nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
experimental: {
cookieStore: true
}
})

// nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
experimental: {
cookieStore: true
}
})

3. Use useRequestEvent: As suggested in a Stack Overflow answer (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78605772), you can use useRequestEvent to handle cookies more consistently:
const event = useRequestEvent()
const res = await $fetch<{ accessToken: string }>('/api/auth/refresh', {
method: 'POST',
headers: useRequestHeaders(['cookie']),
onResponse({ response }) {
const cookies = response.headers.getSetCookie()
if (cookies.length && event) {
cookies.forEach((cookie) => {
appendResponseHeader(event, 'set-cookie', cookie)
})
}
},
})

const event = useRequestEvent()
const res = await $fetch<{ accessToken: string }>('/api/auth/refresh', {
method: 'POST',
headers: useRequestHeaders(['cookie']),
onResponse({ response }) {
const cookies = response.headers.getSetCookie()
if (cookies.length && event) {
cookies.forEach((cookie) => {
appendResponseHeader(event, 'set-cookie', cookie)
})
}
},
})

4. Check cookie settings: Ensure that your cookie is being set with the correct options, especially httpOnly: false if you need to access it on the client side. 5. Use nuxtApp.runWithContext: If you're calling composables inside methods, use nuxtApp.runWithContext as suggested in a GitHub issue comment (https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/issues/29150#issuecomment-1859392453):
const nuxtApp = useNuxtApp()
nuxtApp.runWithContext(() => {
// Your code using composables here
})

const nuxtApp = useNuxtApp()
nuxtApp.runWithContext(() => {
// Your code using composables here
})

Given the complexity of your issue, you might need to combine several of these approaches. If the problem persists, consider creating a minimal reproduction of the issue and reporting it to the Nuxt team for further assistance. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

kapa.ai7mo ago
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- I apologize, but I don't have access to your specific code to correct it. However, based on the information you've provided and the issues you've described, I can offer a revised version of the middleware code that incorporates some of the suggestions we've discussed. Here's an example of how you might modify your middleware:
import { useCookie, useRequestEvent, useNuxtApp } from '#app';

export default defineNuxtRouteMiddleware((to, from) => {
const nuxtApp = useNuxtApp();

return nuxtApp.runWithContext(() => {
const authCookie = useCookie('auth_token');
const event = useRequestEvent();

if (process.server) {
// Server-side logic
const headers = useRequestHeaders(['cookie']);
const serverCookie = headers.cookie;
console.log('Server-side cookie:', serverCookie);

if (!serverCookie || !serverCookie.includes('auth_token=')) {
console.log('Server: redirecting to login');
return navigateTo('/dashboard/auth/login');
}
} else {
// Client-side logic
console.log('Client-side cookie:', authCookie.value);

if (!authCookie.value) {
console.log('Client: redirecting to login');
return navigateTo('/dashboard/auth/login');
}
}

// If we reach here, the user is authenticated
console.log('User authenticated, proceeding to route');

// Refresh the cookie value to ensure it's up-to-date
if (process.client) {
refreshCookie('auth_token');
}
});
});
import { useCookie, useRequestEvent, useNuxtApp } from '#app';

export default defineNuxtRouteMiddleware((to, from) => {
const nuxtApp = useNuxtApp();

return nuxtApp.runWithContext(() => {
const authCookie = useCookie('auth_token');
const event = useRequestEvent();

if (process.server) {
// Server-side logic
const headers = useRequestHeaders(['cookie']);
const serverCookie = headers.cookie;
console.log('Server-side cookie:', serverCookie);

if (!serverCookie || !serverCookie.includes('auth_token=')) {
console.log('Server: redirecting to login');
return navigateTo('/dashboard/auth/login');
}
} else {
// Client-side logic
console.log('Client-side cookie:', authCookie.value);

if (!authCookie.value) {
console.log('Client: redirecting to login');
return navigateTo('/dashboard/auth/login');
}
}

// If we reach here, the user is authenticated
console.log('User authenticated, proceeding to route');

// Refresh the cookie value to ensure it's up-to-date
if (process.client) {
refreshCookie('auth_token');
}
});
});
This revised code: 1. Uses nuxtApp.runWithContext to ensure composables are called in the correct context GitHub issue comment (https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/issues/29150#issuecomment-1859392453). 2. Handles both server-side and client-side scenarios separately. 3. Uses useRequestHeaders on the server side to access cookies Nuxt documentation (https://nuxt.com/docs/getting-started/data-fetching#passing-headers-and-cookies). 4. Calls refreshCookie on the client side to ensure the cookie value is up-to-date Nuxt documentation (https://nuxt.com/docs/api/utils/refresh-cookie). Remember to also enable the cookieStore experimental feature in your nuxt.config.ts:
export default defineNuxtConfig({
experimental: {
cookieStore: true
}
})
export default defineNuxtConfig({
experimental: {
cookieStore: true
}
})
This should help address the issues you've been experiencing with cookie handling between server-side and client-side. If you're still encountering problems, you may need to investigate further into how the cookie is being set initially and ensure it's being set with the correct options. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Based on the logs you've provided, it appears that there's still a discrepancy between how the cookie is being handled on the server-side versus the client-side. Let's analyze this behavior and suggest a solution: 1. Server-side: The cookie is present and the middleware allows the user to proceed. 2. Client-side: The cookie is undefined, leading to a redirect to the login page. This issue is likely related to how the cookie is being set and accessed across the server and client environments. Here's a potential solution based on the Nuxt documentation on passing cookies (https://nuxt.com/docs/getting-started/data-fetching#pass-cookies-from-server-side-api-calls-on-ssr-response): 1. First, create a composable to handle cookie passing:
// composables/useCookieProxy.ts
import { appendResponseHeader } from 'h3'
import type { H3Event } from 'h3'

export const useCookieProxy = async (event: H3Event, url: string) => {
const res = await $fetch.raw(url)
const cookies = res.headers.getSetCookie()
for (const cookie of cookies) {
appendResponseHeader(event, 'set-cookie', cookie)
}
return res._data
}
// composables/useCookieProxy.ts
import { appendResponseHeader } from 'h3'
import type { H3Event } from 'h3'

export const useCookieProxy = async (event: H3Event, url: string) => {
const res = await $fetch.raw(url)
const cookies = res.headers.getSetCookie()
for (const cookie of cookies) {
appendResponseHeader(event, 'set-cookie', cookie)
}
return res._data
}
2. Then, modify your middleware to use this composable:
// middleware/auth.ts
import { useCookieProxy } from '~/composables/useCookieProxy'

export default defineNuxtRouteMiddleware(async (to, from) => {
const event = useRequestEvent()
const authCookie = useCookie('auth_token')
if (process.server && event) {
// Server-side: use the composable to ensure cookie is passed correctly
const result = await useCookieProxy(event, '/api/auth/check')
if (!result.success) {
return navigateTo('/dashboard/auth/login')
}
} else if (process.client) {
// Client-side: check the cookie value
if (!authCookie.value) {
console.log('Client: redirecting to login')
return navigateTo('/dashboard/auth/login')
}
}

console.log('User authenticated, proceeding to route')
})
// middleware/auth.ts
import { useCookieProxy } from '~/composables/useCookieProxy'

export default defineNuxtRouteMiddleware(async (to, from) => {
const event = useRequestEvent()
const authCookie = useCookie('auth_token')
if (process.server && event) {
// Server-side: use the composable to ensure cookie is passed correctly
const result = await useCookieProxy(event, '/api/auth/check')
if (!result.success) {
return navigateTo('/dashboard/auth/login')
}
} else if (process.client) {
// Client-side: check the cookie value
if (!authCookie.value) {
console.log('Client: redirecting to login')
return navigateTo('/dashboard/auth/login')
}
}

console.log('User authenticated, proceeding to route')
})
3. In your API route, make sure to set the cookie correctly:
// server/api/auth/check.ts
export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
// Your authentication logic here
if (authenticated) {
setCookie(event, 'auth_token', 'your_token_value', {
httpOnly: true,
path: '/',
sameSite: 'strict'
})
return { success: true }
}
return { success: false, message: 'Not connected' }
})
// server/api/auth/check.ts
export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
// Your authentication logic here
if (authenticated) {
setCookie(event, 'auth_token', 'your_token_value', {
httpOnly: true,
path: '/',
sameSite: 'strict'
})
return { success: true }
}
return { success: false, message: 'Not connected' }
})
This approach ensures that the cookie is properly set on the server-side and passed to the client. The useCookieProxy composable handles the cookie passing, which should resolve the issue of the cookie being undefined on the client-side. Remember to adjust the API endpoint ('/api/auth/check') to match your actual authentication endpoint. If you're still experiencing issues after implementing these changes, you might want to consider using the refreshCookie utility as mentioned in the Nuxt documentation (https://nuxt.com/docs/api/utils/refresh-cookie) to manually refresh the cookie value when you know it has changed.
// After setting the cookie
refreshCookie('auth_token')
// After setting the cookie
refreshCookie('auth_token')
This should help ensure consistency between server-side and client-side cookie handling in your Nuxt application. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Based on our previous conversation and the issues you've been experiencing, I'll provide you with the code for all the relevant files to address your authentication and cookie handling problems in Nuxt. Here's a comprehensive set of files that should work together to solve your issue: 1. Middleware (auth.ts):
// middleware/auth.ts
import { useCookieProxy } from '~/composables/useCookieProxy'

export default defineNuxtRouteMiddleware(async (to, from) => {
const event = useRequestEvent()
const authCookie = useCookie('auth_token')

if (process.server && event) {
// Server-side: use the composable to ensure cookie is passed correctly
const result = await useCookieProxy(event, '/api/auth/check')
if (!result.success) {
console.log('Server: redirecting to login')
return navigateTo('/dashboard/auth/login')
}
} else if (process.client) {
// Client-side: check the cookie value
if (!authCookie.value) {
console.log('Client: redirecting to login')
return navigateTo('/dashboard/auth/login')
}

export default defineNuxtRouteMiddleware(async (to, from) => {
const event = useRequestEvent()
const authCookie = useCookie('auth_token')

if (process.server && event) {
// Server-side: use the composable to ensure cookie is passed correctly
const result = await useCookieProxy(event, '/api/auth/check')
if (!result.success) {

if (!authCookie.value) {
console.log('Client: redirecting to login')
return navigateTo('/dashboard/auth/login')
}
}

console.log('User authenticated, proceeding to route')
})
2. Cookie Proxy Composable (useCookieProxy.ts):
// composables/useCookieProxy.ts
import { appendResponseHeader } from 'h3'
import type { H3Event } from 'h3'

export const useCookieProxy = async (event: H3Event, url: string) => {
const res = await $fetch.raw(url)
const cookies = res.headers.getSetCookie()
for (const cookie of cookies) {
appendResponseHeader(event, 'set-cookie', cookie)
}
return res._data
}
// composables/useCookieProxy.ts
import { appendResponseHeader } from 'h3'
import type { H3Event } from 'h3'

export const useCookieProxy = async (event: H3Event, url: string) => {
const res = await $fetch.raw(url)
const cookies = res.headers.getSetCookie()
for (const cookie of cookies) {
appendResponseHeader(event, 'set-cookie', cookie)
}
return res._data
}
3. Authentication Check API (check.ts):
// server/api/auth/check.ts
export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
const authCookie = getCookie(event, 'auth_token')

if (authCookie) {
// Your authentication logic here
// For example, verify the JWT token
// If valid:
return { success: true }
}

// If not authenticated
return { success: false, message: 'Not connected' }
})
// server/api/auth/check.ts
export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
const authCookie = getCookie(event, 'auth_token')

if (authCookie) {
// Your authentication logic here
// For example, verify the JWT token
// If valid:
return { success: true }
}

// If not authenticated
return { success: false, message: 'Not connected' }
})
4. Login API (login.ts):
// server/api/auth/login.ts
export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
// Your login logic here
// If login is successful:
const token = 'your_generated_jwt_token'
setCookie(event, 'auth_token', token, {
httpOnly: true,
path: '/',
sameSite: 'strict',
secure: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' // Use secure in production
})
return { success: true }

// If login fails:
// return { success: false, message: 'Invalid credentials' }
})
// server/api/auth/login.ts
export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
// Your login logic here
// If login is successful:
const token = 'your_generated_jwt_token'
setCookie(event, 'auth_token', token, {
httpOnly: true,
path: '/',
sameSite: 'strict',
secure: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' // Use secure in production
})
return { success: true }

// If login fails:
// return { success: false, message: 'Invalid credentials' }
})
5. Nuxt Configuration (nuxt.config.ts):
// nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
experimental: {
cookieStore: true
},
// ... other configurations
})
// nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
experimental: {
cookieStore: true
},
// ... other configurations
})
6. Example Protected Page (overview.vue):
<!-- pages/dashboard/overview.vue -->
<template>
<div>
<h1>Dashboard Overview</h1>
<p>Welcome, {{ user.name }}</p>
</div>
</template>

<script setup lang="ts">
const { data: user } = await useFetch('/api/user')

// Refresh the cookie value to ensure it's up-to-date
if (process.client) {
refreshCookie('auth_token')
}
</script>
<!-- pages/dashboard/overview.vue -->
<template>
<div>
<h1>Dashboard Overview</h1>
<p>Welcome, {{ user.name }}</p>
</div>
</template>

<script setup lang="ts">
const { data: user } = await useFetch('/api/user')

// Refresh the cookie value to ensure it's up-to-date
if (process.client) {
refreshCookie('auth_token')
}
</script>
7. User API (user.ts):
// server/api/user.ts
export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
const authCookie = getCookie(event, 'auth_token')

if (!authCookie) {
throw createError({
statusCode: 401,
message: 'Unauthorized'
})
}

// Your logic to fetch user data based on the auth token
// For example:
return {
name: 'John Doe',
}
})
// server/api/user.ts
export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
const authCookie = getCookie(event, 'auth_token')

if (!authCookie) {
throw createError({
statusCode: 401,
message: 'Unauthorized'
})
}

// Your logic to fetch user data based on the auth token
// For example:
return {
name: 'John Doe',
}
})
These files work together to create a robust authentication system: - The middleware checks for authentication on both server and client sides. - The useCookieProxy composable ensures cookies are properly passed from server to client. - The authentication check API verifies the token. - The login API sets the authentication cookie. - The Nuxt configuration enables the experimental cookie store feature. - The protected page (overview.vue) shows how to use the authentication in a component. - The user API demonstrates how to protect and use authenticated routes. Remember to adjust the token generation, verification, and user data fetching logic to match your specific authentication requirements. Also, ensure that you're using proper security measures, such as HTTPS in production, for handling authentication tokens.

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Based on the information you've provided, it seems there's a discrepancy between directly accessing the /api/auth/check endpoint and the server-side rendering of your dashboard. This suggests that the authentication state is not being properly maintained or passed during the server-side rendering process. Let's analyze and address this issue: 1. Cookie Transmission: The fact that you're getting a successful response when directly accessing the endpoint suggests that the cookie is being sent correctly in that case. However, it's not being properly transmitted during server-side rendering. 2. Server-Side Rendering: During server-side rendering, the cookie might not be available or properly passed to the /api/auth/check endpoint. To address this, we need to modify our approach slightly. Here's what we can do: 1. Update the useCookieProxy composable:
// composables/useCookieProxy.ts
import { appendResponseHeader, getRequestHeaders } from 'h3'
import type { H3Event } from 'h3'

export const useCookieProxy = async (event: H3Event, url: string) => {
const headers = getRequestHeaders(event)
const res = await $fetch.raw(url, {
headers: {
cookie: headers.cookie || ''
}
})
const cookies = res.headers.getSetCookie()
for (const cookie of cookies) {
appendResponseHeader(event, 'set-cookie', cookie)
}
return res._data
}
// composables/useCookieProxy.ts
import { appendResponseHeader, getRequestHeaders } from 'h3'
import type { H3Event } from 'h3'

export const useCookieProxy = async (event: H3Event, url: string) => {
const headers = getRequestHeaders(event)
const res = await $fetch.raw(url, {
headers: {
cookie: headers.cookie || ''
}
})
const cookies = res.headers.getSetCookie()
for (const cookie of cookies) {
appendResponseHeader(event, 'set-cookie', cookie)
}
return res._data
}
2. Modify the middleware to pass the cookie explicitly:
// middleware/auth.ts
import { useCookieProxy } from '~/composables/useCookieProxy'

export default defineNuxtRouteMiddleware(async (to, from) => {
const event = useRequestEvent()
const authCookie = useCookie('auth_token')
if (process.server && event) {
// Server-side: use the composable to ensure cookie is passed correctly
const result = await useCookieProxy(event, '/api/auth/check')
console.log('Server-side auth check result:', result)
if (!result.success) {
console.log('Server: redirecting to login')
return navigateTo('/dashboard/auth/login')
}
} else if (process.client) {
// Client-side: check the cookie value
if (!authCookie.value) {
console.log('Client: redirecting to login')
return navigateTo('/dashboard/auth/login')
}
}

console.log('User authenticated, proceeding to route')
})
// middleware/auth.ts
import { useCookieProxy } from '~/composables/useCookieProxy'

export default defineNuxtRouteMiddleware(async (to, from) => {
const event = useRequestEvent()
const authCookie = useCookie('auth_token')
if (process.server && event) {
// Server-side: use the composable to ensure cookie is passed correctly
const result = await useCookieProxy(event, '/api/auth/check')
console.log('Server-side auth check result:', result)
if (!result.success) {
console.log('Server: redirecting to login')
return navigateTo('/dashboard/auth/login')
}
} else if (process.client) {
// Client-side: check the cookie value
if (!authCookie.value) {
console.log('Client: redirecting to login')
return navigateTo('/dashboard/auth/login')
}
}

console.log('User authenticated, proceeding to route')
})
3. Update the /api/auth/check endpoint to log the received cookie:
// server/api/auth/check.ts
export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
const authCookie = getCookie(event, 'auth_token')
console.log('Received auth_token:', authCookie)

if (authCookie) {
// Your authentication logic here
// For example, verify the JWT token
// If valid:
return { success: true }
}

// If not authenticated
return { success: false, message: 'Not connected' }
})
// server/api/auth/check.ts
export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
const authCookie = getCookie(event, 'auth_token')
console.log('Received auth_token:', authCookie)

if (authCookie) {
// Your authentication logic here
// For example, verify the JWT token
// If valid:
return { success: true }
}

// If not authenticated
return { success: false, message: 'Not connected' }
})
These changes should ensure that the cookie is properly passed during server-side rendering. The useCookieProxy composable now explicitly includes the cookie in the headers when making the request to /api/auth/check. If you're still experiencing issues after making these changes, it would be helpful to check the following: 1. Ensure that the auth_token cookie is being set with the correct domain and path. 2. Verify that the cookie is not HttpOnly, or if it is, ensure you're using server-side methods to access it. 3. Check if there are any CORS issues if your API is on a different domain. Remember to use the Nuxt debugging techniques (https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/going-further/debugging) to get more insight into what's happening during the server-side rendering process. If the problem persists, you might need to investigate further into how the cookie is being set initially and ensure it's being set with the correct options. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Based on the logs you've provided, it appears that there's a discrepancy between the authentication check in your middleware and the subsequent data fetch in your component or page. Let's analyze the situation: 1. The middleware is correctly receiving and validating the auth_token cookie. 2. The /api/auth/check endpoint is returning { success: true }, indicating successful authentication. 3. However, a subsequent request (likely in your component or page) is returning { success: false, message: 'Not connected' }. This suggests that the authentication state is not being consistently maintained across different parts of your application. Here's how we can address this issue: 1. Update your useCookieProxy composable to pass the cookie to all API requests:
// composables/useCookieProxy.ts
import { appendResponseHeader, getRequestHeaders } from 'h3'
import type { H3Event } from 'h3'

export const useCookieProxy = async (event: H3Event, url: string) => {
const headers = getRequestHeaders(event)
const res = await $fetch.raw(url, {
headers: {
cookie: headers.cookie || ''
}
})
return res._data
}
// composables/useCookieProxy.ts
import { appendResponseHeader, getRequestHeaders } from 'h3'
import type { H3Event } from 'h3'

export const useCookieProxy = async (event: H3Event, url: string) => {
const headers = getRequestHeaders(event)
const res = await $fetch.raw(url, {
headers: {
cookie: headers.cookie || ''
}
})
return res._data
}
2. Modify your page or component to use this composable:
<!-- pages/dashboard/overview.vue -->
<template>
<div>
<h1>Dashboard Overview</h1>
<p v-if="user">Welcome, {{ user.name }}</p>
<p v-else>Loading user data...</p>
</div>
</template>

<script setup lang="ts">
const event = useRequestEvent()
const { data: user, error } = await useAsyncData('user', () =>
useCookieProxy(event, '/api/user')
)

if (error.value) {
console.error('Error fetching user data:', error.value)
}
</script>
<!-- pages/dashboard/overview.vue -->
<template>
<div>
<h1>Dashboard Overview</h1>
<p v-if="user">Welcome, {{ user.name }}</p>
<p v-else>Loading user data...</p>
</div>
</template>

<script setup lang="ts">
const event = useRequestEvent()
const { data: user, error } = await useAsyncData('user', () =>
useCookieProxy(event, '/api/user')
)

if (error.value) {
console.error('Error fetching user data:', error.value)
}
</script>
3. Update your /api/user endpoint to use the same authentication logic as /api/auth/check:
// server/api/user.ts
export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
const authCookie = getCookie(event, 'auth_token')
console.log('Received auth_token in /api/user:', authCookie)

if (authCookie) {
// Your authentication logic here
// For example, verify the JWT token
// If valid:
return {
success: true,
user: {
name: 'John Doe',
}
}
}

// If not authenticated
throw createError({
statusCode: 401,
message: 'Unauthorized'
})
})
// server/api/user.ts
export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
const authCookie = getCookie(event, 'auth_token')
console.log('Received auth_token in /api/user:', authCookie)

if (authCookie) {
// Your authentication logic here
// For example, verify the JWT token
// If valid:
return {
success: true,
user: {
name: 'John Doe',
}
}
}

// If not authenticated
throw createError({
statusCode: 401,
message: 'Unauthorized'
})
})
4. Ensure that your nuxt.config.ts is set up to handle cookies correctly:
// nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
experimental: {
cookieStore: true
},
runtimeConfig: {
cookieName: 'auth_token',
cookieSecret: 'your-secret-key' // Use a secure secret in production
}
})
// nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
experimental: {
cookieStore: true
},
runtimeConfig: {
cookieName: 'auth_token',
cookieSecret: 'your-secret-key' // Use a secure secret in production
}
})
These changes should ensure that the authentication state is consistently maintained across your application. The useCookieProxy composable will pass the cookie to all API requests, and the /api/user endpoint will use the same authentication logic as /api/auth/check. If you're still experiencing issues after making these changes, you may want to: 1. Check if there are any CORS issues if your API is on a different domain. 2. Verify that the auth_token cookie is being set with the correct domain, path, and other attributes. 3. Use the Nuxt debugging techniques (https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/going-further/debugging) to get more insight into what's happening during the server-side rendering process. Remember to always use HTTPS in production when dealing with authentication tokens to ensure security.

<!-- pages/dashboard/overview.vue -->
<template>
<div>
<h1>Dashboard Overview</h1>
<p v-if="user">Welcome, {{ user.name }}</p>
<p v-else>Loading user data...</p>
</div>
</template>

<script setup lang="ts">
const event = useRequestEvent()
const { data: userData, error } = await useAsyncData('user', () =>
useCookieProxy(event, '/api/user')
)

const user = computed(() => userData.value?.user)

if (error.value) {
console.error('Error fetching user data:', error.value)
}
</script>
<!-- pages/dashboard/overview.vue -->

<script setup lang="ts">
const event = useRequestEvent()
const { data: userData, error } = await useAsyncData('user', () =>
useCookieProxy(event, '/api/user')
)

const user = computed(() => userData.value?.user)

if (error.value) {
console.error('Error fetching user data:', error.value)
}
</script>
3. Ensure that your /api/user endpoint is using the same authentication logic as /api/auth/check:
// server/api/user.ts
export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
const authCookie = getCookie(event, 'auth_token')
console.log('Received auth_token in /api/user:', authCookie)

if (authCookie) {
// Your authentication logic here
// For example, verify the JWT token
// If valid:
return {
success: true,
user: {

}
}
}

// If not authenticated

})
// server/api/user.ts
export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
const authCookie = getCookie(event, 'auth_token')
console.log('Received auth_token in /api/user:', authCookie)

if (authCookie) {
// Your authentication logic here
// For example, verify the JWT token
// If valid:
return {
success: true,
user: {
name: 'John Doe',
}
}
}

// If not authenticated
return { success: false, message: 'Not connected' }
})
4. Double-check your nuxt.config.ts to ensure it's set up to handle cookies correctly:
// nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
experimental: {
cookieStore: true
},
runtimeConfig: {
cookieName: 'auth_token',
cookieSecret: 'your-secret-key' // Use a secure secret in production
}
})
// nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
experimental: {
cookieStore: true
},
runtimeConfig: {
cookieName: 'auth_token',
cookieSecret: 'your-secret-key' // Use a secure secret in production
}
})
These changes should help ensure that the authentication state is consistently maintained across your application. The useCookieProxy composable will pass the cookie to all API requests, and the /api/user endpoint will use the same authentication logic as /api/auth/check. If you're still experiencing issues after making these changes, you may want to: 1. Add more detailed logging in your /api/user endpoint to see exactly what's happening when it's called. 2. Verify that the auth_token cookie is being set with the correct domain, path, and other attributes. 3. Use the Nuxt debugging techniques (https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/going-further/debugging) to get more insight into what's happening during the server-side rendering process.
