How to save user sessions with Vue.js?

To save user sessions with Vue.js, we can use the vue-session package.

To install it, we run

npm i vue-session

Then we register the plugin by writing

import VueSession from 'vue-session'

Vue.use(VueSession)

And then we can use it with

<script>
//...
export default {
  //...
  beforeCreate() {
    if (!this.$session.exists()) {
      this.$router.push("/");
    }
  },
  methods: {
    logout() {
      this.$session.destroy();
      this.$router.push("/");
    },
  },
  //...
};
</script>

to call this.$session.exists to check if the session is created.

And we call this.$session.destroy to destroy the session.

We can add an entry into the session with

this.$session.set('jwt', token)

where 'jwt' is the key and token is the value.
