This repository provides a starting point for building secure and robust authentication systems with Nuxt.js. It's designed to be a comprehensive template that includes all the necessary features for managing user accounts, from registration and login to password recovery and account verification via emails.
-
User Management:
- Registration
- Login
- Session Persistence (Refresh Tokens)
- Email Verification
- Account Update
- Account Deletion
- Password Reset
-
Robust Security:
- Password Hashing (bcrypt)
- JWT Authentication
- Email Verification for Account Confirmation
-
Scalable Architecture:
- Nuxt as the full-stack framework
- MongoDB as a non-relational database
- Prisma as the ORM for managing the database
- Nodemailer for sending emails
- Zod for data validation
- Handlebars for dynamic templates
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/vircoding/nuxt-authentication-starter-template.git
cd nuxt-authentication-starter-template- Install dependencies:
npm install- Setup environment variables:
- Create a .env file in the root directory based on the .env.example file provided.
- Fill in the following environment variables:
DATABASE_URL=<your-mongodb-url>
JWT_REFRESH_SECRET=<your-refresh-secret-key>
JWT_ACCESS_SECRET=<your-access-secret-key>
JWT_VERIFICATION_SECRET=<your-verification-secret-key>
EMAIL_HOST=<host-for-sending-emails>
EMAIL_USER=<your-email>
EMAIL_PASSWORD=<your-email-password>
- Run the development server:
npm run dev- Access the server: The server will be available at http://localhost:3000.
The API uses JWTs for authentication. Access tokens are generated when a user logs in, and refresh tokens are used to obtain new access tokens when the access token expires.
Email verification is handled using Nodemailer. When a new user is created, a verification email is sent to their email address.
Zod is used to validate user data. This helps ensure that data is in the correct format and meets the required constraints.
