Getting Started with Nuxt Auth Utils and User Sessions

In this lesson, learn how to set a session from the server side with information that identifies a user. That session is then encrypted and stored in a HTTPOnly cookie that’s automatically sent with every subsequent request - meaning the server can authenticate who the request came from.

// use to boot new nuxt project

npm create nuxt@latest

// use to run migration recipes at the beginning of the lesson
