Quickstart: Vue app with FusionAuth

This repository contains a Vue app that works with a locally running instance of FusionAuth, the authentication and authorization platform.

Setup

Prerequisites

• Node: This will be needed to run the Vue app.
• Docker: The quickest way to stand up FusionAuth.
  • (Alternatively, you can Install FusionAuth Manually).

FusionAuth Installation via Docker

In the root of this project directory (next to this README) are two files a Docker compose file and an environment variables configuration file. Assuming you have Docker installed on your machine, you can stand up FusionAuth up on your machine with:

docker compose up -d

The FusionAuth configuration files also make use of a unique feature of FusionAuth, called Kickstart: when FusionAuth comes up for the first time, it will look at the Kickstart file and mimic API calls to configure FusionAuth for use when it is first run.

NOTE: If you ever want to reset the FusionAuth system, delete the volumes created by docker compose by executing docker compose down -v.

FusionAuth will be initially configured with these settings:

• Your client Id is: e9fdb985-9173-4e01-9d73-ac2d60d1dc8e
• Your client secret is: super-secret-secret-that-should-be-regenerated-for-production
• Your example username is richard@example.com and your password is password.
• Your admin username is admin@example.com and your password is password.
• Your fusionAuthBaseUrl is 'http://localhost:9011/'

You can log into the FusionAuth admin UI and look around if you want, but with Docker/Kickstart you don't need to.

Vue complete-application

The complete-application directory contains a minimal Vue app configured to authenticate with locally running FusionAuth.

Install dependencies and run the Vue app with:

cd complete-application
npm i
npm start

Now vist the Vue app at http://localhost:5173 You can log in with a user preconfigured during Kickstart, richard@example.com with the password of password.

Troubleshooting

• I get This site can’t be reached localhost refused to connect. when I click the Login button

Ensure FusionAuth is running in the Docker container. You should be able to login as the admin user, admin@example.com with the password of password at http://localhost:9011/admin
