This application will use an OAuth Authorization Code workflow and the PKCE extension to log users in and an express backend server to store your access token securely. PKCE stands for Proof Key for Code Exchange, and is often pronounced “pixie”.

Setup

Following setup is required before running the application.

FusionAuth

If you haven't already have an instance of FusionAuth running on local machine, follow this 5-Minute Setup Guide which will get you started in no time. For quick installation and configuration, Docker is the perfect choice.

Node/NPM

Make sure you have Node installed on your local development machine.

Configuration

• Clone this repository.

git clone https://github.com/FusionAuth/fusionauth-example-vue.git

• Create a new Application in your FusionAuth dashboard.

• In your application OAuth tab:

  • Set Authorized redirect URLs to http://localhost:9000/oauth-callback
  • Set Logout URL to http://localhost:8081 or the port your Vue App is running.

• Select Users on the dashboard, select Manage and go to the Registration tab. Then click Add Registration, and add yourself to the application you just created.

• Copy your app's Client ID, Client Secret, Redirect URI, Application ID, and API Key into the server/.env.example file, you will also need to rename .env.example to .env

SERVER_PORT = 9000
FUSIONAUTH_PORT = 9011
CLIENT_ID = ''
CLIENT_SECRET = ''
REDIRECT_URI = 'http://localhost:9000/oauth-callback'
APLICATION_ID =  ''
API_KEY = ''

You can read how to create an API KEY here.

• Make sure FusionAuth is running, then install dependencies and start the app. The Vue app should automatically open in your browser at http://localhost:8081.

cd server
npm install
npm run dev

cd client
npm install
npm run serve

Your application is now running and you will be prompted to Sign In.

Happy Coding
